AM-6545 is a drug which acts as a peripherally selectivesilent antagonist for theCB1receptor, and was developed for the treatment ofobesity. Othercannabinoid antagonists such asrimonabant have been marketed for this application, but have subsequently been withdrawn from sale because of centrally mediated side effects such asdepression andnausea. Because AM-6545 does not cross theblood–brain barrier to any significant extent, it does not produce these kinds of side effects, but has still been shown to effectively reduce appetite and food consumption in animal studies.[1][2][3][4]
