Overview - SR-x Synthetic Cannabinoids
Description of SR-x Synthetic Cannabinoids
Rimbonant was first described marketed by Sanofi as a drug to combat obesity. Also known as SR-141716A the compound is an orally active selective antagonist at CB1 receptor sites. Rimonabant was sold as an effective weight loss drug in Europe until adverse effects (e.g., depression and suicidal tendencies) forced their makers to pull the drug from the market. It is extensively used to research the function of the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
Here we focus on SR-141716A.
Another members of of note is SR144528, a full antagonist at CB2 (M. Rinaldi-Carmona et al., 1998).
