AZD1940 is an orally active, high affinity cannabinoid CB1/CB2 receptor agonist with pK i values of 7.93 and 9.06 for human CB1R and CB2R , respectively. AZD1940 shows a robust analgesia action
In Vitro
AZD1940 binds with high affinity to human, rat and mouse CB1 and CB2 receptors and displays full agonism at both receptors in all three species . MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
When given orally to rats, AZD1940 produces a robust analgesia in different models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain. For AZD1940, low brain uptake at analgesic doses has been demonstrated in both rats and primates . MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
