Description: | AM1241 is a potent, typical[2] and selective CB2 receptor agonist, with a Ki of 3.4 nM in a mouse spleen, and the Ki for CB1 receptor in rat brain is 280 nM, 82-fold selectivity for the CB2 receptor in rodent tissue[1]. AM1241 relieves migraine, stroke, and neuropathic pain,also has a potent effect on Parkinson's disease[2]. AM1241 prevents oxidative damage and activates STAT3 through the phosphorylation of Akt and Erk1/2[3]. |
Target: | Ki: 3.4 nM (Mouse spleen CB2 receptor), 280 nM (Rat brain CB1 receptor)[1] |
In Vivo: | AM1241 (0.1-3 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently inhibits sensory hypersensitivity in rats. AM1241 inhibits tactile hypersensitivity and thermal hypersensitivity at 1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg, respectively, in mice lacking the CB1 receptor[1]. AM1241 (0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, 12 mg/kg, i.p.) alleviates MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease and promotes the regeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in PD mice[2]. |
In Vitro: | AM1241 is a potent and selective CB2 receptor agonist, with a Ki of 3.4 nM in a mouse spleen, and the Ki for CB1 receptor in rat brain is 280 nM, 82-fold selectivity for the CB2 receptor in rodent tissue[1]. AM1241 decreases oxidative stress levels, enhances the production of paracrine growth factors, decreases TGF-β1 and PDGF levels, activates Stat3 via the phosphorylation of Akt and Erk1/2[3]. |
