Baur, R; Gertsch, J; Sigel, E (2012). The cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonists rimonabant (SR141716) and AM251 directly potentiate GABA(A) receptors. British journal of pharmacology, 165(8), pp. 2479-84. Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell 10.1111/j.1476-5381.2011.01405.x
Full text not available from this repository.Rimonabant (SR141716) and the structurally related AM251 are widely used in pharmacological experiments as selective cannabinoid receptor CB(1) antagonists / inverse agonists. Concentrations of 0.5-10 µM are usually applied in in vitro experiments. We intended to show that these drugs did not act at GABA(A) receptors but found a significant positive allosteric modulation instead.
