Application

CP-55940 has been used as a cannabinoid agonists in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) expressing cannabinoid receptor 2(CB2).

Biochem/physiol Actions

CP-55940 is a nonclassical cannabinoids (NCCs), which lack the tetrahydropyran ring. CP-55940, a derivative of CP-47,497 is enantioselective. Due to its amphipathic nature, CP-55940 tethers in biological membrane making it favourable for the cannabinoid receptor interaction. CP-55940 belongs to the cyclohexylphenol category and modulates the brain lipidome leading to dysregulation especially during adolescence. It inhibits capsaicin-evoked sensitization of nociceptive and spinal dorsal horn neurons.
CP-55940 is a selective cannabinoid receptor agonist.

Cannabinoid receptor agonists such as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) enhance the antinociceptive potency of mu opioid receptor agonists such as morphine, indicating that opioid/cannabinoid mixtures might be effective for treating pain. However, such enhancement will be beneficial only if cannabinoids do not

Phlorotannins are polyphenolic compounds in marine alga, especially the brown algae. Among numerous phlorotannins, dieckol and phlorofucofuroeckol-A (PFF-A) are the major ones and despite a wider biological activity profile, knowledge of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) targets of these phlorotannins
