Cycloheptyl CP 55,940
Cycloheptyl CP 55,940[edit | edit source]
Cycloheptyl CP 55,940 is a synthetic cannabinoid that is structurally related to the more well-known compound CP 55,940. It is part of a class of compounds that interact with the cannabinoid receptors in the central nervous system. These receptors are part of the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in various physiological processes including pain sensation, mood, and memory.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Cycloheptyl CP 55,940 is characterized by the presence of a cycloheptyl group, which distinguishes it from its parent compound, CP 55,940. The chemical structure of Cycloheptyl CP 55,940 includes a bicyclic core with a cycloheptyl ring attached, which contributes to its unique pharmacological properties. The molecular formula is C26H36O2, and it has a molecular weight of 380.56 g/mol.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Cycloheptyl CP 55,940 acts as a potent agonist at both the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are G-protein coupled receptors that mediate the effects of endogenous cannabinoids like anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol. The activation of these receptors by Cycloheptyl CP 55,940 can lead to a variety of effects, including analgesia, anti-inflammatory effects, and modulation of neurotransmitter release.
Research and Applications[edit | edit source]
Research on Cycloheptyl CP 55,940 has primarily focused on its potential therapeutic applications. Due to its high affinity for cannabinoid receptors, it is used in scientific studies to explore the role of the endocannabinoid system in health and disease. It serves as a tool compound in pharmacological research to better understand the mechanisms of cannabinoid receptor activation and the physiological effects of cannabinoids.
Safety and Legal Status[edit | edit source]
As with many synthetic cannabinoids, the safety profile of Cycloheptyl CP 55,940 is not well-established. It is primarily used in research settings, and its use in humans is not approved. The legal status of synthetic cannabinoids varies by country, and Cycloheptyl CP 55,940 may be subject to regulation under laws controlling psychoactive substances.
