Exploring determinants of agonist efficacy at the CB1 cannabinoid receptor: Analogues of the synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist EG‐018 [PDF]

open access: yesPharmacology Research & Perspectives, 2022
Neutral antagonists of GPCRs remain relatively rare—indeed, a large majority of GPCR antagonists are actually inverse agonists. The synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist (SCRA) EG‐018 was recently reported as a low efficacy cannabinoid receptor agonist.

Cannabinoid Receptor 1 Agonist ACEA and Cannabinoid Receptor 2 Agonist GW833972A Attenuates Cell-Mediated Immunity by Different Biological Mechanisms

open access: yesCells, 2023
Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) are components in the endocannabinoid system that play significant roles in regulating immune responses. There are many agonists for the cannabinoid receptors; however, their effects on T cell

Endocannabinoids in Bladder Sensory Mechanisms in Health and Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The recent surge in research on cannabinoids may have been fueled by changes in legislation in several jurisdictions, and by approval for the use of cannabinoids for treatment of some chronic diseases. Endocannabinoids act largely, but not exclusively on

Cannabinoid and Cannabinoid-Related Receptors in the Myenteric Plexus of the Porcine Ileum

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
An important piece of evidence has shown that molecules acting on cannabinoid receptors influence gastrointestinal motility and induce beneficial effects on gastrointestinal inflammation and visceral pain.

Characterisation of inverse agonism of the orphan-G protein-coupled receptor GPR52 by cannabinoid ligands Cannabidiol and O-1918

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
The identification of cannabinoid ligands Cannabidiol and O-1918 as inverse agonists of the orphan receptor GPR52 is reported. Detailed characterisation of GPR52 pharmacology and modelling of the proposed receptor interaction is described.

Impact of the mouse estrus cycle on cannabinoid receptor agonist‐induced molecular and behavioral outcomes

open access: yesPharmacology Research & Perspectives, 2022
Sexual dimorphisms are observed in cannabinoid pharmacology. It is widely reported that female animals are more sensitive to the cataleptic, hypothermic, antinociceptive, and anti‐locomotive effects of cannabinoid receptor agonists such as CP55,940 ...
