Cannabinor

Cannabinor (PRS-211,375) is a drug which acts as a potent and selective cannabinoid CB2 receptor agonist.[1][2] It is classed as a "nonclassical" cannabinoid with a chemical structure similar to that of cannabidiol. It has a CB2 affinity of 17.4nM vs 5585nM at CB1, giving it over 300x selectivity for CB2.[3] It showed analgesic effects in animal studies especially in models of neuropathic pain, but failed in Phase IIb human clinical trials due to lack of efficacy.[4]
