Uses
AM 630 acts as a potential CB2 receptor cannabinoid antagonist with application towards human lung cancer treatment and angiogenesis induction.
Definition
ChEBI: [6-iodo-2-methyl-1-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]-3-indolyl]-(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone is a N-acylindole.
Biological Activity
CB 2 antagonist/inverse agonist (K i = 31.2 nM) that displays 165-fold selectivity over CB 1 receptors. Behaves as a weak partial/inverse agonist at CB 1 receptors.
Biochem/physiol Actions
AM630 is an aminoalkylindole and acts as a competitive antagonist of CP 55,940 and WIN 55,212-2. It also behaves as a competitive antagonist of anandamide and (R)-(+)-arachidonyl-1′-hydroxy-2′-propylamide (AM356).
