Synthetic organic
Comment: AM7499 is a non-selective cannabinoid receptor agonist [1]. It has been designed to be readily hydrolysed by plasma esterases (to shorten its duration of action; such compounds are being called 'controlled-deactivation cannabinoids') and to be less prone to deposition in bodily fat than existing classical cannabinoid agonists. This strategy has been adopted to produce cannabinoid agonists with improved drug-like qualities and potentially a more favourable safety profile.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Bioactivity Comments |
AM7499 is functionally active at the cannabinoid receptors in cAMP accumulation assays; EC50 2.5nM vs. rat CB1 receptor, and 0.3nM vs human CB2 receptor [1]. The esterase hydrolysis products of AM7499 are inactive vs. both cannabinoid receptors. |
