Neuroprotective (+) 3S, 4S cannabinoids with modified 5′-side chain
摘要:
The synthesis and evaluation of two novel cannabinoids belonging to the (+) 3S, 4S nonpsychotropic series are described These derivatives bind to the NMDA receptor but have lower affinities than dexanabinol (HU-211), the series benchmark. The novel compounds protect neurons against NMDA-induced toxicity in cortical cell cultures and have lower toxicity to host neurons than dexanabinol. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

Chemical tools and methods that report on G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expression levels and receptor occupancy by small molecules are highly desirable. We report the development of LEI121 as a photoreactive probe to study the type 2 cannabinoidreceptor (CB2R), a promising GPCR to treat tissue injury and inflammatory diseases. LEI121 is the first CB2R-selective bifunctional probe that covalently
