MN-25 (UR-12) is a drug invented byBristol-Myers Squibb,[1] that acts as a reasonably selectiveagonist of peripheralcannabinoid receptors.[2] It has moderate affinity forCB2 receptors with aKi of 11 nM, but 22x lower affinity for the psychoactiveCB1 receptors with aKi of 245 nM. The indole 2-methyl derivative has the ratio of affinities reversed however, with aKi of 8 nM at CB1 and 29 nM at CB2,[3][4] which contrasts with the usual trend of 2-methyl derivatives having increased selectivity for CB2 (cf.JWH-018 vsJWH-007,JWH-081 vsJWH-098).[5][6]
Chemically, it is closely related to another indole-3-carboxamide synthetic cannabinoid,Org 28611, but with a different cycloalkyl substitution on the carboxamide, and the cyclohexylmethyl group replaced by morpholinylethyl, as inJWH-200 orA-796,260. Early compounds such as these have subsequently led to the development of many related indole-3-carboxamide cannabinoid ligands.[7][8][9][10]
