GW833972A, a selective CB2 cannabinoid receptor agonist, may be used separately or in comparison to other cannabinoid receptor agonist and antagonists to differentiate and characterize the CB2 cannabinoid receptor. GW833972A may be used to help verify that an observed physiological response is cannabinoid receptor CB2-dependent.
Biochem./physiol. Wirkung
GW833972A is a CB2 cannabinoid receptor agonist with 1000-fold selectivity relative to CB1. It is, however, 15-fold less potent than HU210 for CB2 (Ki 7.8 vs. 0.52 nM). The antitumor compound oxaliplatin induces marked hypersensitivity to cold, heat, and chemical pain stimuli (to the point where oxaliplatin therapy has to be discontinued). The hyperalgesia effect is almost completely blocked by pretreatment with GW833972A.
The compound was used to determine the role of CB2 in airway sensory nerve function.
The objective of this study was to analyze the proportion of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) in genital infections during a 10-year period (2003-2012) among outpatients of a clinic of sexually transmitted disease in Southwestern
