General description

WIN 55,212-2 is a member of the aminoalkylindole class of compounds.

Application

(R)-(+)-WIN 55,212-2 mesylate salt has been used as a high affinity cannabinoid agonist for intraperitoneal injection into rats to induce behavioural sensitization. It has also been used as a synthetic cannabinoid drug and cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) agonist to treat Becn2+/− mice and wild-type (WT) littermate to analyze the levels of CNR1 in the brain.

Biochem/physiol Actions

It is known to decrease the lipopolysaccharide mediated release of tumor necrosis factor- α and interleukin-1 in mice.
