VDM-11
VDM-11 is a drug that acts as a selective antagonist for the cannabinoid receptor CB1. It has been used in scientific research to explore the role of the CB1 receptor in the regulation of neurotransmission, and the potential therapeutic applications of CB1 antagonists. VDM-11 does not cross the blood-brain barrier, so its effects are peripheral only.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
VDM-11 acts as a selective antagonist at the CB1 receptor, which is one of the two main types of cannabinoid receptors in the body. The CB1 receptor is primarily found in the brain, but is also present in other tissues. VDM-11 does not cross the blood-brain barrier, so it does not have any central effects.
Research Uses[edit | edit source]
VDM-11 has been used in scientific research to investigate the role of the CB1 receptor in the regulation of neurotransmission. It has also been used to explore the potential therapeutic applications of CB1 antagonists, particularly in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disorders.
