Rimonabant, a potent CB1 cannabinoid receptor antagonist, is a Gα<inf>i/o</inf> protein inhibitor
2018, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :At nanomolar concentrations, rimonabant inhibition of basal [35S]GTPγS binding was interpreted either as an inverse agonism at CB1 receptors, i.e. the inhibition of constitutive CB1 receptor activity or the suppression of a tonic CB1 mediated activation of G protein by endogenous cannabinoids (Howlett et al., 2011; Pertwee, 2005 for reviews). Inverse agonist effect induced by nanomolar concentrations has been observed in peculiar cell preparations expressing high concentration of the CB1 receptors (Landsman et al., 1997; MacLennan et al., 1998). However, under our experimental conditions, up to 100 nM concentrations of rimonabant failed to inhibit basal G protein activity.
