1-(2,3-DICHLOROBENZOYL)-5-METHOXY-2-METHYL-3-[2-(4-MORPHOLINYL)ETHYL]-1H-INDOLE

It is a potent and selective CB2 receptor partial agonist (EC50 = 0.65 nM; maximum inhibition = 44.6%). Binds with high affinity to both human and rat CB2 receptors and displays ~ 1200-fold selectivity over CB1 (Ki values are 3.92 and 4772 nM for human recombinant CB2 and CB1 receptors respectively). Produces potent antihyperalgesic effects in several rodent models of pain.

ChEBI: (2,3-dichlorophenyl)-[5-methoxy-2-methyl-3-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]-1-indolyl]methanone is a N-acylindole.

Potent and selective CB 2 receptor partial agonist (EC 50 = 0.65 nM; maximum inhibition = 44.6%). Binds with high affinity to both human and rat CB 2 receptors and displays ~ 1200-fold selectivity over CB 1 (K i values are 3.92 and 4772 nM for human recombinant CB 2 and CB 1 receptors respectively). Produces potent antihyperalgesic effects in several rodent models of pain.

GW405833 is a selective cannabanoid CB2 receptor agonist; analgesic. GW405833 binds with high affinity at both human and rat CB2 receptors (Ki′s 3.9 and 3.6 nM); acts as a partial agonist (50% inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation compared to full agonist CP55,940). GW405833 has potent analgesic activity in rat models of inflammatory, neuropathic and incisional pain; devoid of CNS effects common with CB1 agonists.
