<p style=/line-height:25px/>AM251 is a potent CB1 receptor antagonist (IC50 = 8 nM, Ki = 7.49 nM) that displays 306-fold selectivity over CB2 receptors; also potent GPR55 agonist (EC50 = 39 nM).<br>IC50 value:<br>Target: CB1 receptor antagonist<br>in vitro: In in vitro binding assays with mouse hippocampal membranes, tetrahydrocannabinol inhibited binding of [123I]AM251 with an IC50 value of about 700 nM, compared with about 0.2 nM for SR141716A [1]. Kd values were lower for [123I]AM251 (0.23-0.62 nM) than for [3H]CP 55,940 (1.3-4 nM). CP 55,940 and SR141716A increased dissociation of [123I]AM251 from binding sites in mouse cerebellar homogenates to a similar extent [2].</p>
