CB2R agonist-8
CB2R agonist-8 is a dual CB2R (Ki = 91.8 nM) agonist and FAAH (IC50 = 3.4 μM) inhibitor. CB2R agonist-8 signals through biased cAMP inhibition and β-arrestin recruitment, and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6) production while increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10 and IL-4) production in monocytes and macrophages. CB2R agonist-8 reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in activated microglia. CB2R agonist-8 can be used for research on neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

In Vitro
CB2R agonist-8 (10 min) inhibits recombinant human FAAH with an IC50 of 3.4 μM[1].
CB2R agonist-8 (0.01 nM-10 μM; 90 min) is a unbiased CB2R agonist that induces cAMP inhibition with a pEC50 of 5.88 and β-arrestin-2 recruitment with a pEC50 of 5.35 in HEK293T CB2R-SmBiT/LgBiT-β-arrestin-2 cells[1].
CB2R agonist-8 (100 μM; 30 min) does not affect Calcein-AM transport in the P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-overexpressing MDCK-MDR1 cell line, i.e., it is not pumped out by P-gp[1].
CB2R agonist-8 (100 μM; 120 min) exhibits high bidirectional apparent permeability in the Caco-2 cell monolayer barrier model (Papp BA = 2307 nm/s; AB = 655 nm/s; BA/AB = 3.5), predicting good blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration[1].
