Fenchone Derivatives as a Novel Class of CB2 Selective Ligands: Design, Synthesis, X-ray Structure and Therapeutic Potential

Molecules, 2022
A series of novel cannabinoid-type derivatives were synthesized by the coupling of (1S,4R)-(+) and (1R,4S)-(−)-fenchones with various resorcinols/phenols.

Differential β-arrestin2 requirements for constitutive and agonist-induced internalization of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor [PDF]

, 2013
CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) undergoes both constitutive and agonist-induced internalization, but the underlying mechanisms of these processes and the role of beta-arrestins in the regulation of CB1R function are not completely understood.

Cellular Distribution of Canonical and Putative Cannabinoid Receptors in Canine Cervical Dorsal Root Ganglia

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Growing evidence indicates cannabinoid receptors as potential therapeutic targets for chronic pain. Consequently, there is an increasing interest in developing cannabinoid receptor agonists for treating human and veterinary pain. To better understand the

Organized cannabinoid receptor distribution in neurons revealed by super-resolution fluorescence imaging

Nature Communications, 2020
Despite the importance of G-protein-coupled receptors in many cellular functions, their intracellular organisation is largely unknown. The authors identified periodically repeating clusters of cannabinoid receptor 1 hotspots within neuronal axons that ...

Occurrence of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy after Synthetic Cannabinoid Consumption [PDF]

Addiction and Health, 2019
Background: Synthetic cannabinoid use such as “K2” and “Spice” is popular secondary to its inability to be detected in a urine drug screen. It is associated with a wide range of myocardial pathologies including obstructive and non-obstructive coronary ...

Cannabinoid CB2 receptor ligands disrupt the sequential regulation of p-MEK1/2 to p-ERK1/2 in mouse brain cortex

Exploration of Neuroprotective Therapy, 2023
Aim: The sequential phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases MEK-ERK is the most relevant cellular signaling pathway. This study quantified the parallel in vivo regulation of brain phosphorylation-MEK1/2 (p-MEK1/2) to p-ERK1/2 by ...

Actions of N-arachidonyl-glycine in a rat inflammatory pain model

Molecular Pain, 2007
Background While cannabinoid receptor agonists have analgesic activity in inflammatory pain states they produce a range of side effects. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the arachidonic acid-amino acid conjugate, N-arachidonyl-glycine (NA-glycine)

Anti-nociceptive interactions between opioids and a cannabinoid receptor 2 agonist in inflammatory pain

Molecular Pain, 2017
The cannabinoid 1 receptor and cannabinoid 2 receptor can both be targeted in the treatment of pain; yet, they have some important differences. Cannabinoid 1 receptor is expressed at high levels in the central nervous system, whereas cannabinoid 2 ...

Pharmacological Properties, Therapeutic Potential and Molecular Mechanisms of JWH133, a CB2 Receptor-Selective Agonist

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The endocannabinoid system has attracted attention as a pharmacological target for several pathological conditions. Cannabinoid (CB2)-selective agonists have been the focus of pharmacological studies because modulation of the CB2 receptor (CB2R) can be ...

Expression and function of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 and their cognate cannabinoid ligands in murine embryonic stem cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Characterization of intrinsic and extrinsic factors regulating the self-renewal/division and differentiation of stem cells is crucial in determining embryonic stem (ES) cell fate.
