JTE 907

Description

JTE-907 is a selective peripheral cannabinoid (CB₂) receptor agonist with K_d values of 25 and 2,370, 1.55 and 1,060, and 0.38 and 1,050 nM for human, mouse, and rat CB₂ and CB₁ receptors, respectively. It increases forskolin-stimulated cAMP production in CHO cells expressing human and mouse CB₂ in a dose-dependent manner. In vivo, JTE-907 inhibits carrageenin-induced edema in mouse paws with an ED₅₀ value of 0.05 mg/kg. JTE-907 also inhibits spontaneous scratching in a mouse model of chronic dermatitis at doses of 1 and 10 mg/kg.

The Uses of JTE 907

Potent and selective ligands for cannabinoid type 2 receptors (CB2Rs) may have therapeutic potential for treating CB2Rs related inflammatory diseases (1). JTE 907 is a selective cannabinoid CB2 receptor inverse agonist with anti-inflammatory properties (2,3). Synthetic cannabinoids

What are the applications of Application

JTE 907 is a highly selective CB2 receptor inverse agonist

Definition

ChEBI: N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)-7-methoxy-2-oxo-8-pentoxy-1H-quinoline-3-carboxamide is a member of quinolines and an aromatic amide.

Biological Activity

Highly selective cannabinoid CB 2 receptor inverse agonist. Binds with high affinity to rat, mouse and human CB 2 receptors (K i values are 0.38, 1.55 and 35.9 nM respectively). Produces anti-inflammatory effects in vivo .

Biochem/physiol Actions

JTE-907 is a cannabinoid CB2 ligand (inverse agonist). CB2 cannabanoid receptors are expressed in periferal nerves and other non CNS tissues, but are not expressed in the brain. CB2 is believed to have a role in nociceptive pain, but additional functions pertaining to the immune system have yet to be determined. CB2 selective agonists and antagonists provide a necessary tool for functional analyses.
