Biological Activity for SR 141716A
SR 141716A is a potent and selective cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist (Ki = 1.98 nM). Also acts as an inverse agonist reversing adenylyl cyclase inhibition by WIN 55,212-2 (Cat.No. 1038) (IC50 = 48 nM). Displays no activity at CB2 receptors. Reduces food intake and body weight in orally dosed non-obese Wistar rats. Also μ-opioid receptor antagonist (Ki = 652 nm)

Rimonabant treatment in mice.
By
Sebastiaan Dalle on 05/24/2023
Assay Type: In Vivo
Species: Mouse
10mg/kg body weight, dissolved in solution with 6.7% dmso, 1.7% tween80 and 91.6% saline; intraperitoneally injected.
Rimonabant stock was prepared in dmso and tween80, and consequently freshly diluted with saline.
Highly recommend..
