The endocannabinoid system, which includes cannabinoid receptor 1 and 2 subtypes (CBR and CBR, respectively), is responsible for the onset of various pathologies including neurodegeneration, cancer, neuropathic and inflammatory pain, obesity, and inf...
Cannabinoid receptors, as part of the family of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), are involved in various physiological functions. Its subtype cannabinoid receptor subtype 2 (CB2), mainly distributed in the periphery, is a crucial therapeutic ...
The discovery of macromolecular targets for bioactive agents is currently a bottleneck for the informed design of chemical probes and drug leads. Typically, activity profiling against genetically manipulated cell lines or chemical proteomics is pursu...
Designing highly selective compounds to protein subtypes and developing allosteric modulators targeting them are critical considerations to both drug discovery and mechanism studies for cannabinoid receptors. It is challenging but in demand to have c...
