AZD-1940, also known asART-2713 orNEO-1940, is a drug developed byAstraZeneca, that is a peripherally selectivecannabinoidagonist which binds with high affinity to both the CB1 and CB2 receptors.[1] It was developed for the treatment ofneuropathic pain, but while it showed good peripheral selectivity in animal studies,[2] in humanclinical trials it failed to show sufficient analgesic efficacy and produced unexpectedly strong side effects associated with central cannabinoid activity, and so was discontinued from further development.[3][4]
