describe the discovery of a novel class of oxadiazole derivatives from which potent and selective CB2 agonist leads were developed. Initial hit 7 was identified from a cannabinoid target-biased library generated by virtual screening of sample collections using a pharmacophore model in combination with a series of physicochemical filters. 7 was demonstrated to be a selective CB2 agonist (CB2 EC50 = 93
