A method of treating or preventing a neuroinflammatory and/or neurodegenerative disease in a subject by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a CB2 receptor agonist is described. The CB2 receptor agonist can be a compound according to formula I (structurally represented) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with R1 and R2 functional groups as defined herein. Administration of the CB2 receptor agonist activates CB2 receptors in the microglia, and can restore synaptic plasticity, cognition, and memory in subjects having elevated levels of amyloid-13 peptide in the brain.
本文描述了一种通过施用药学有效量的 CB2 受体激动剂来治疗或预防受试者的神经炎症和/或神经退行性疾病的方法。CB2 受体激动剂可以是根据式 I(结构表示)的化合物或其药学上可接受的盐,其 R1 和 R2 官能团如本文所定义。施用 CB2 受体激动剂可激活小胶质细胞中的 CB2 受体,并可恢复大脑中淀粉样蛋白-13 肽
水平升高的受试者的突触可塑性、认知和记忆。
