| Description: | Data Source: Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Source Affiliation: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SBMRI, San Diego, CA) Network: NIH Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) Grant Proposal Number: 1X01 DA026205-01 Assay Provider: Dr. Mary Abood, California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute (currently Temple University) The cannabinoid and endocannabinoid system has been implicated in the pathophysiology of drug dependence and addiction disorders. GPR55, an orphan G-Protein Coupled Receptor, has been reported to be a cannabinoid receptor, but its status as such remains unresolved due to conflicting results from pharmacological studies. The goal of the project is to identify small molecule agonists of GPR55, which may aid in the deorphanization efforts of this receptor and ultimately further the understanding of the role of GPR55 in drug addiction.
