Newest firstCannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) is a prominent class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and is a therapeutic target of interest for inflammatory diseases, pain management, and neurodegenerative disorders. We report the development of ligands based on HU-308 that share a single central scaffold but bear diverse sidechains, enabling controlled modulation of GPCR activation. Structural modifications at a single p…
Open article record in new tab ↗We report a blueprint for the rational design of G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands with a tailored functional response. The present study discloses the structure-based design of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) selective inverse agonists (S)-1 and (R)-1, which were derived from privileged agonist HU-308 by introduction of a phenyl group at the gem-dimethylheptyl side chain. Epimer (R)-1 exhibits high aff…
