    Product Description

    The central cannabinoid (CB1) receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor that is widely distributed in the central nervous system and several peripheral tissues and binds the active component of cannabis, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol.1 Signaling through the CB1 receptor is implicated in attentional and working memory deficits as well as obesity.2,3,4 AVE-1625 is a highly potent, selective antagonist for the CB1 receptor with Ki values of 0.16-0.44 nM.4 At 1-3 mg/kg, AVE-1625 significantly improves the performance of rodents in working memory tasks.4 At 30 mg/kg, AVE-1625 reduces caloric intake by more than 50% of controls and significantly increases lipolysis from fat tissues and reduces hepatic glycogen levels in rodents.5
