PDB Ligand
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Olorinab (APD371) is a cannabinoid CB2 receptor agonist that was developed by Arena Pharmaceuticals as a potential treatment for chronic pain [1]. In vitro, APD371 is as efficacious as the CB2 receptor full agonist CP55940 (as determined by measuring and comparing Emax values), and has limited tachyphylaxis liability (i.e. it does cause agonist-induced desensitization by disrupting recycling of internalized agonist-activated receptors back to the plasma membrane) .

Bioactivity Comments
APD371 is highly selective for CB2 over CB1 in binding and functional assays, and appears to be devoid of CNS activity at CB1 in vivo (indicating peripheral restriction of its activity) [1]. In preclinical testing APD371 was found to be orally active and efficacious in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain.
