The cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) has been implicated in the control of energy balance. To explore the pharmacological utility of CB1R inhibition for the treatment of obesity, we evaluated the efficacy of N-[(1S,2S)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(3-cyanophenyl)-1-methylpropyl]-2-methyl-2-{[5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]oxy}propanamide (MK-0364) and determined the relationship between efficacy and brain CB1R occupancy in rodents. MK-0364 was shown to be a highly potent CB1R inverse agonist that…

Discovery of N-[(4R)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4-yl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (MK-5596) as a novel cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) inverse agonist for the treatment of obesity.
TLDR
Although pyrazole 12c was a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter, its high in vivo efficacy in rodents, good pharmacokinetic properties in preclinical species, good safety margins, and its potential for a balanced metabolism profile in man allowed for the further evaluation of this compound in the clinic.
Metabolism and excretion of [14C]taranabant, a cannabinoid-1 inverse agonist, in humans
TLDR
The data suggest that, similar to rats and monkeys, taranabant is primarily eliminated in humans via oxidative metabolism and excretion of metabolites via the biliary/faecal route.
In vitro and in vivo metabolism of a novel cannabinoid-1 receptor inverse agonist, taranabant, in rats and monkeys
TLDR
Major pathways of metabolism that were common to rats and rhesus monkeys included hydroxylation at the benzylic carbon adjacent to the cyanophenyl ring to form a biologically active circulating metabolite M1, and oxidation of one of the two geminal methyl groups of taranabant or M1 to the corresponding diastereomeric carboxylic acids.
Quantitative in vitro and in vivo pharmacological profile of CE-178253, a potent and selective cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) Receptor Antagonist
TLDR
Evaluating the quantitative pharmacology and concentration/effect relationships of CE-178253 based on unbound plasma concentration and in vitro pharmacology data in different in vivo preclinical models of FI and energy expenditure suggested that a greater than a 2-fold coverage of the Ki is required for maximum efficacy.
Pharmacological evaluation of LH-21, a newly discovered molecule that binds to cannabinoid CB1 receptor.
Methylsulfonylpyrazolyl oxadiazoles and thiadiazoles as potent, orally bioavailable cannabinoid-1 receptor antagonists for the treatment of obesity.
TLDR
Four novel CB1 antagonists with IC(50) values of approximately 1 nM for the rat CB1 receptor binding are identified, including trifluoromethylcyclobutyl analogues 19e and 19l as promising precandidates for the development as anti-obesity agents.
Benzodioxoles: novel cannabinoid-1 receptor inverse agonists for the treatment of obesity.
TLDR
The application of the evolutionary fragment-based de novo design tool TOPology Assigning System (TOPAS), starting from a known CB1R (CB-1 receptor) ligand, followed by further refinement principles, allowed the identification of benzodioxoles as a novelCB1R inverse agonist series, showing in vivo activity.

TLDR
This review describes what is currently known about the ability of such compounds to bind to, activate, inhibit or block non-CB(1), non- CB(2) G protein-coupled receptors such as GPR55, transmitter gated channels, ion channels and nuclear receptors in an orthosteric or allosteric manner.

Synthesis, biological properties, and molecular modeling investigations of novel 3,4-diarylpyrazolines as potent and selective CB(1) cannabinoid receptor antagonists.
TLDR
Replacement of the amidine -NH(2) moiety with a -NHCH(3) group proved to be the key change for gaining oral biovailability in this series of compounds leading to the identification of 80.
Endocannabinoid activation at hepatic CB1 receptors stimulates fatty acid synthesis and contributes to diet-induced obesity.
TLDR
It is concluded that anandamide acting at hepatic CB(1) contributes to diet-induced obesity and that the FAS pathway may be a common molecular target for central appetitive and peripheral metabolic regulation.
The relationship of in vivo central CB1 receptor occupancy to changes in cortical monoamine release and feeding elicited by CB1 receptor antagonists in rats
TLDR
The occupancy method described here is an effective tool for interrelating central CB1 receptor occupancy with neurobiological actions ofCB1 receptor antagonists and for furthering the understanding of the role of CB1 receptors in central nervous system physiology and pathology.
Pharmacological profile of a series of bicyclic cannabinoid analogs: classification as cannabimimetic agents.
TLDR
The goals of the studies described herein were to determine whether these bicyclic analogs possess similar pharmacological properties of delta 9-THC, to compare pharmacological activity after s.c. and i.v. administration, and to evaluate the structure-activity relationship of this series of analogs for further insight into cannabinoid mechanism of action.

Observational analysis of feeding induced by Delta9-THC and anandamide.
TLDR
The data suggest that exogenously administered cannabinoids promote eating by increasing the incentive value of food and support a role for endocannabinoids in the regulation of the appetitive aspects of feeding motivation.
A Selective Inverse Agonist for Central Cannabinoid Receptor Inhibits Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Activation Stimulated by Insulin or Insulin-like Growth Factor 1
TLDR
Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with human central cannabinoid receptor (CB1) exhibit high constitutive activity at both levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and adenylyl cyclase, and the CB1-selective ligand, SR 141716A, that functions as an inverse agonist is proposed as a novel model for receptor/ligand interactions.
