  • Heteropyrrole analogs acting on cannabinoid receptors
    Patent number: 8410097
    Abstract: Disclosed are biologically active hetero pyrrole analogs such as imidazoles, thiazoles, oxazoles and pyrazoles capable of interacting with the CB1 and/or the CB2 cannabinoid receptors. One aspect discloses hetero pyrrole analogs acting as antagonists for the CB1 and/or the CB2 receptors. Another aspect discloses hetero pyrrole analogs having selectivity for the CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptor. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical preparations employing the disclosed analogs and methods of administering therapeutically effective amounts of the disclosed analogs to provide a physiological effect.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2013
    Assignee: University of Connecticut
    Inventors: Alexandros Makriyannis, Rajesh Thotapally, Venkata Kiran Rao Vemuri, Teresa Olszewska

  • NOVEL HETEROPYRROLE ANALOGS ACTING ON CANNABINOID RECEPTORS
    Publication number: 20120046280
    Abstract: Disclosed are biologically active hetero pyrrole analogs such as imidazoles, thiazoles, oxazoles and pyrazoles capable of interacting with the CB1 and/or CB2 cannabinoid receptors. Aspects disclose hetero pyrrole analogs acting as CB1 and/or CB 1 receptor antagonists, having selectivity for the CB 1 or CB2 receptor, acting as neutral antagonists, acting preferentially on CB 1 receptors located in the peripheral nervous system, and/or acting as nitric oxide donors. Pharmaceutical preparations employing the disclosed analogs and methods of administering therapeutically effective amounts of the disclosed analogs to provide a physiological effect are also disclosed.
