Abstract
Recent investigations showed that anandamide, the main endogenous ligand of CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, possesses analgesic, antidepressant and anti-inflammatory effects. In the perspective to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), our approach was to develop new selective CB2 receptor agonists without psychotropic side effects associated to CB1 receptors. In this purpose, a new series of 3-carboxamido-5-aryl-isoxazoles, never described previously as CB2 receptor agonists, was designed, synthesized and evaluated for their biological activity. The pharmacological results have identified great selective CB2 agonists with in vivo anti-inflammatory activity in a DSS-induced acute colitis mouse model.Entities:
