About cannabinoid CB2 Receptor Agonist AAT-730:

Cannabinoid receptors are a traditional drug target for pain and neurological disease therapy.  Recent scientific research on cannabinoids has revealed the potential of the CB2 receptor, one of two cannabinoid receptors, as a molecular target for neuropathic pain, cancer pain, neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, neuroinflammatory diseases, cancer, and diabetes.  CB1 and CB2 each have different distribution profiles and pharmacological functions in the human body.  A number of pharmaceutical companies have attempted to develop CB2-selective agonists without CB1-mediated neurological side effects, however without success.  AskAt is developing AAT-730, a small molecule and highly selective CB2 agonist, with no CB1-related untoward effects, and potent CB2-mediated pharmacological efficacy in in vivo studies.  AAT-730 has shown potential as an effective therapy for Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), which is OCT’s primary target indication of their forthcoming clinical development.
