A-796,260

A-796,260 is a drug developed by Abbott Laboratories that acts as a potent and selective cannabinoid CB₂ receptor agonist. Replacing the aromatic 3-benzoyl or 3-naphthoyl group found in most indole derived cannabinoids with the 3-tetramethylcyclopropylmethanone group, imparts significant selectivity for CB₂, and A-796,260 was found to be a highly selective CB₂ agonist with little affinity for CB₁, having a CB₂ K_i of 4.6 nM vs 945 nM at CB₁.^[1] It has potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions in animal models, being especially effective in models of neuropathic pain, but without producing cannabis-like behavioral effects.^[2]
