A group of antimicrobial compounds shows effectiveness for preventing bacterial growth and bio film formation. In particular, the compounds are effective for preventing the growth of gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(“MRSA”) bacteria. The compounds include naturally-occurring compounds such as linoleyl ethanolamide, noladin ether, and anandamide, and man-made compounds such as CP55,640 [(−)-cis-3-[2-Hydroxy-4-(l,l-dimethylheptyl)phenyl]-tran s-4-(3-hydroxypropyl)cyclohexanol] and O-2050 [(6aR,10aR)-3-(l-Methanesulfonylamino-4-hexyn-6-yl)-6a, 7,10,1 Oa-tetrahydro-6,6,9-trimethyl-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran]. Because these antibacterial compounds have unique modes of action and/or unique chemical scaffolds compared to traditional antibiotics, they are extremely useful against bacteria having resistances to antibiotics.

The invention relates to antagonists of the cannabinoid receptor CBI for use in the treatment and prevention of diseases associated with neural dendritic abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome, Angelman's syndrome, Rett syndrome and tuberous sclerosis. More specifically, the invention provides a method of treatment or prevention of such diseases by the administration of the compound rimonabant.
