Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Mar 1;18(5):1725-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.01.042. Epub 2008 Jan 18.

Abstract

A high-throughput screening campaign resulted in the discovery of a highly potent dual cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and 2 (CB2) agonist. Following a thorough SAR exploration, a series of selective CB2 full agonists were identified.
