RationaleCannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor antagonists are reportedly effective in reducing food intake both preclinically and clinically. This may be due in part to their effects on monoamine release in the brain. The level of central CB1 receptor occupancy underlying these neurobiological effects is unclear.ObjectivesWe explored the relationship between in vivo CB1 receptor occupancy in the frontal cortex and changes in both monoamine release in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and feeding…

It is shown that MK-7128 significantly improved both Y-maze spontaneous alternation and object habituation performance in scopolamine-treated mice and inhibits the binding of radioiodinated AM251 in murine cortex and hippocampus and suggests that efficacy is achieved at relatively low levels of CB1R occupancy in the brain.
Small-animal PET imaging of the type 1 and type 2 cannabinoid receptors in a photothrombotic stroke model
- Biology, MedicineEuropean Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
- 2012
Time-dependent and regionally strongly increased CB1, but not CB2, binding are early consequences of photothrombotic stroke and Pharmacological interventions should primarily aim at CB1 signalling as the role of CB2 seems minor in the acute and subacute phases of stroke.

The results suggest that the cortical selectivity in the release of catecholamines, dopamine in particular, induced by the cannabinoid antagonist SR141716A, its procholinergic properties, together with its mild stimulatory effects on serotonin and norepinephrine efflux make similar compounds unique candidates for the treatment of psychosis, affective and cognitive disorders.

Results suggest that activation of the endogenous cannabinoid system may participate in the motivational and dopamine-releasing effects of nicotine and ethanol, and may be effective in reduction of alcohol consumption, as previously suggested, and as an aid for smoking cessation.
A Peripheral Mechanism for CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor-Dependent Modulation of Feeding
- BiologyThe Journal of Neuroscience
- 2002
An unexpected role for peripheral CB1 receptors in the regulation of feeding is revealed and Capsaicin deafferentation abolished the peripheral effects of both cannabinoid agonists and antagonists, suggesting that these agents modulate food intake by acting onCB1 receptors located on capsaicin-sensitive sensory terminals.

The dense presence of CB1 receptors in the cerebellum and in the basal ganglia, especially at the outflow nuclei (substantia nigra and the internal segment of the globus pallidus), supports the existence of an endogenous cannabinoid system regulating motor activity.

The studies on the behavioural effects of the cannabinoid antagonist SR-141716A and theCB1 antagonist AM-251 show that the CB1 and the novel cannabinoid receptor mediate anxiolytic and anxiogenic effects, respectively, which suggests that agonists of the former, or antagonists of the latter, are promising new compounds in the pharmacotherapy of anxiety.
