Abstract

The development of selective CB₂ receptor agonists is a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, without CB₁ receptor mediated psychoactive side effects. Preliminary structure-activity relationship studies on pyrazoylidene benzamide agonists revealed the -ylidene benzamide moiety was crucial for functional activity at the CB2 receptor. A small library of compounds with varying linkage moieties between the pyrazole and substituted phenyl group has culminated in the discovery of a potent and selective pyrazolo-[2,3-e]-[1,2,4]-triazine agonist 19 (CB₂R EC₅₀ = 19 nM, CB₁R EC₅₀ > 10 μM). Docking studies have revealed key structural features of the linkage group that are important for potent functional activity.
