Application

(R,S)-AM1241 has been used as a cannabinoid CB2 agonist:
  • to study its inhibitory effect on bone cancer-induced pain and bone loss
  • to study the effect of its interaction with 17βestradiol on proliferation activity in primary human osteoblasts
  • to evaluate the sites of CB2 mediated antinociception in vivo.

Biochem/physiol Actions

AM1241 acts as an antinociceptive agent in several animal pain models. It has a potential to delay disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mouse model. Intrathecal, intravenous or intraperitoneal administration of AM1241 reduces hyperalgesia and allodynia in neuropathic rats.
Selective CB2 cannabinoid receptor agonist

Drug self-administration methods were used to test the hypothesis that rats would self-medicate with a cannabinoid CB(2) agonist to attenuate a neuropathic pain state. Self-medication of the CB(2) agonist (R,S)-AM1241, but not vehicle, attenuated mechanical hypersensitivity produced by spared nerve
