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 Actions
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.
There is increasing evidence that autoimmune disease is associated with development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We aim to assess the relationship between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and COPD risk in a nationwide population. We conducted a retrospective cohort
The introduction of a new type of small handheld ultrasound device brings greater portability and affordability. The basic ultrasound approach with these handheld devices has been defined by European Federation of Societies of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) as

Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in severe valgus knees may prove challenging, and choice of implant depends on the severity of the valgus deformity and the extent of soft-tissue release. The purpose of this study was to review 8 to
The lancet. Diabetes & endocrinology, 1(4), 295-305 (2014-03-14)
An improper balance of regulatory/effector T (Treg/Teff) cells is central to the development of autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes. We previously showed that low-dose interleukin 2 (IL2) induced Treg cell expansion and activation and clinical improvement in patients with
To determine the magnitude of potentially causal relationships among vascular risk factors (VRFs), large-artery atheromatous disease (LAD), and cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in 2 prospective cohorts. We assessed VRFs (history and measured variables), LAD (in carotid, coronary, and leg
