Design, synthesis and biological activity of rigid cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonists.

چکیده
The design, synthesis and biological activities of potent pyrazole-based tricyclic CB1 receptor antagonists (2) are described. The key synthetic step involves the ring closure of the lithiated alpha, gamma-keto ester adduct (4). The optimal nitroderivative (28) in this series exhibits a high CB1 receptor affinity (pKi=7.2) as well as very potent antagonistic activity (pA2=8.8) in vitro. The regioselectivity of the pyrazole ring closure is shown to depend strongly on the aromatic substitution pattern of the applied arylhydrazine.

P 9: Neuoprotective Effect of Cannabinoid CB1 Receptor Antagonists Rimonabant and AM251 on Hypoxic Mouse Model of Brain Oxidative Stress
Introduction: The hypoxic state, in which experimental animals were subjected to an atmosphere of 5% O2 and %95 N2, has been used to screen agents for possible cerebral protection by measuring their ability to prolong survival time in mice exposed to hypoxia. Researchers showed that rimonabant and AM251 allosteric potentiate all but the β1 subunit containing GABAA receptors at nM...
متن کاملHistory of the Development and Clinical Use of Cb1 Receptor Inverse Agonists/antagonists
Introduction In 1964, the structure of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, was identified [1]. The breakthrough was given impetus by the discovery of cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands, the endocannabinoids. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a physiological system with an important regulatory role in numerous biological functions, both ...
متن کاملEffect of Cannabinoid Receptor Activation on Spreading Depression
Objective(s) The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cannabinoid on cortical spreading depression (CSD) in rat brain. Cannabis has been used for centuries for both symptomatic and prophylactic treatment of different types of headaches including migraine. CSD is believed to be a putative neuronal mechanism underlying migraine aura and subsequent pain. Materials and Methods T...
متن کاملBioisosteric replacement of the pyrazole 3-carboxamide moiety of rimonabant. A novel series of oxadiazoles as CB1 cannabinoid receptor antagonists.
Based on the bioisosteric replacement of the pyrazole C3-carboxamide of rimonabant with a 5-alkyl oxadiazole ring, a novel class of oxadiazole derivatives with promising biological activity towards CB1 receptors was discovered. Among them, compounds with an alkyl linker containing a strong electron-withdrawing group (e.g., CF(3)) and a sterically favorable bulky group (e.g., t-butyl) exhibited ...
متن کاملCannabinoid CB1 antagonists possess antiparkinsonian efficacy only in rats with very severe nigral lesion in experimental parkinsonism.
We have observed that systemic administration of cannabinoid CB1 antagonists exerts antiparkinsonian effects in rats with very severe nigral lesion (>95% cell loss), but not in rats with less severe lesion (85-95% cell loss). Local injections into denervated striatum and corresponding globus pallidus reduced parkinsonian asymmetry. Infusions into lesioned substantia nigra enhanced motor asymmet...
