Newest firstExogenous cannabinoids have long been known to promote eating. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been completely elucidated, which is critical to understanding their utility. The orexin/hypocretin (OH) system of the lateral hypothalamus (LHA) has known anatomical, biochemical, and physiological interactions with the endocannabinoid system, and has an established role in promoting appetitive behavior; yet…
Open article record in new tab ↗The cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) is overexpressed under pathological conditions. Positron emission tomography is a noninvasive imaging technique for diagnosing disease states, but requires radiotracers with high affinity and selectivity towards CB2R. Currently, there is no suitable candidate routinely used in the clinics. The naphthyridinone scaffold, a promising core structure, has been modified in the past…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabinoid receptors type 2 (CB2R) represent an attractive therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Aiming at the development of a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer to monitor receptor density and/or occupancy during a CB2R-tailored therapy, we herein describe the radiosynthesis of cis-[18F]1-(4-fluorobutyl-N-((1s,4s)-4-methylcyclohexyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carb…
Several studies demonstrated that cannabinoids reduce tumor growth, inhibit angiogenesis, and decrease cancer cell migration. As these molecules are well tolerated, it would be interesting to investigate the potential benefit of newly synthesized compounds, binding cannabinoid receptors (CBRs). In this study, we describe the synthesis and biological effect of 2-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamide derivative LV50,…
