Synonyms: (-)-MRI-1867 | MRI1867
Immunopharmacology Ligand
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: MRI-1867 is a hybrid molecule that acts both as an inverse agonist of peripheral cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and as an inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) [1]. It is orally active, and the (S)-enantiomer is the more active form of the molecule. MRI-1867 was initially shown to exhibit anti-fibrotic activity in mouse models of liver fibrosis [1] and it has subsequently been demonstrated to reduce signs of inflammation, fibrosis, oxidative stress and overall renal injury in a mouse model of obesity-induced chronic kidney disease [2]. The therapeutic effect of MRI-1867 is two-fold; it both reduces fibrotic progression and is able to attenuate established fibrosis. Activities at both of its molecular targets are involved in mediating its in vivo efficacy.
