Batkai S, Mukhopadhyay P, Horvath B, Rajesh M, Gao R, Mahadevan A, et al.
Br J Pharmacol . 2011 Apr; 165(8):2450-61. PMID: 21470208
Background And Purpose: Activation of cannabinoid CB(2) receptors protects against various forms of ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Δ(8) -Tetrahydrocannabivarin (Δ(8) -THCV) is a synthetic analogue of the plant cannabinoid Δ(9) -tetrahydrocannabivarin,...

Wiley J, Breivogel C, Mahadevan A, Pertwee R, Cascio M, Bolognini D, et al.
Eur J Pharmacol . 2010 Dec; 651(1-3):96-105. PMID: 21114999
Rimonabant, the prototypic antagonist of cannabinoid CB(1) receptors, has been reported to have inverse agonist properties at higher concentrations, which may complicate its use as a tool for mechanistic evaluation...

Kinsey S, Mahadevan A, Zhao B, Sun H, Naidu P, Razdan R, et al.
Neuropharmacology . 2010 Sep; 60(2-3):244-51. PMID: 20849866
Although Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other mixed CB(1)/CB(2) receptor agonists are well established to elicit antinociceptive effects, their psychomimetic actions and potential for abuse have dampened enthusiasm for their therapeutic development....

Drug Alcohol Depend . 2009 Aug; 105(1-2):42-7. PMID: 19679411
Considerable preclinical research has demonstrated the efficacy of Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta(9)-THC), the primary psychoactive constituent of Cannabis sativa, in a wide variety of animal models of pain, but few studies have...

Bisogno T, Burston J, Rai R, Allara M, Saha B, Mahadevan A, et al.
ChemMedChem . 2009 Mar; 4(6):946-50. PMID: 19266526
Biosynthesis Inhibition: O-5596, a new inhibitor of the biosynthesis of the endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol, was synthesized and found to be potent (IC(50)=100 nM) and selective versus other proteins and enzymes of...

J Pharmacol Exp Ther . 2008 Aug; 327(2):546-53. PMID: 18682568
Inhibition of the metabolism of the endocannabinoids, anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG), by their primary metabolic enzymes, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), respectively, has the...

The structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the end pentyl chain in anandamide (AEA) has been established to be very similar to that of Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta(9)-THC). In order to broaden our understanding...

Liu J, Wang L, Harvey-White J, Huang B, Kim H, Luquet S, et al.
Neuropharmacology . 2007 Jul; 54(1):1-7. PMID: 17631919
Endocannabinoids, including anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide) have been implicated in the regulation of a growing number of physiological and pathological processes. Anandamide can be generated from its membrane phospholipid precursor N-arachidonoyl...

Bioorg Med Chem Lett . 2007 Jan; 17(6):1504-7. PMID: 17257842
A facile synthesis of 1-fluoro-1-deoxy-Delta(8)-THC analogs with side chains seven carbons in length, in the alkane/ene/yne- series (6, 5, and 4), was achieved from 1-fluoro-3,5-dimethoxybenzene (1). In vitro studies show...

J Pharmacol Exp Ther . 2006 Jun; 318(3):1230-9. PMID: 16757541
Presently, there are numerous structural classes of cannabinoid receptor agonists, all of which require solubilization for experimental purposes. One strategy for solubilizing water-insoluble tetrahydrocannabinols is conversion of the phenolic hydroxyl...
