Product Description
AM281 is a selective CB1 receptor blocker (antagonist) with IC50 of 9.91 nM. AM281 inhibits CB2 receptors with IC50 of 13000 nM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CB1 receptor (inverse agonist/antagonist) [1]
CB2 receptor (antagonist) [1]
ln Vitro
In SH-SY5Y cells, AM281 (0.01-10 μM) causes neurotoxicity at concentrations that raise the presence of 10 μM Aβ 25-35 when combined with 10 μM KSO 1-6 [2].
AM281 was tested in a plate-based functional assay measuring receptor internalization in CHO cells stably expressing human CB1 or CB2 receptors. The IC50 values for inhibition of CB1 internalization (using [3H]-Win 55,212-2 as agonist) and CB2 internalization (using [3H]-CP55,940 as agonist) were determined. The normalized dose-response curves for CB1 and CB2 are presented (Fig. 2A and 2B). [1]
For CB1 receptor, the IC50 value of AM281 was reported to be similar to previously published values. For CB2 receptor, the IC50 value showed less than ~3-fold difference compared to literature. The selectivity ratio (CB2/CB1) was consistent with literature. [1]
ln Vivo
Both the chronic doses of AM281 (0.62, 1.25, and 2.5 mg/kg) and the chronic doses of AM281 (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg) showed improvements in memory performance and exploration time [3]. The recognition index was increased to 22.1±4.8 with long-term administration of 2.5 mg/kg AM281, and memory impairment was improved to 8.5±4 with a single dosage of 5 mg/kg AM281, as opposed to 4.8±2.5 with vehicle therapy. AM281 given continuously at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg and
AM281 (0.62, 1.25, 2.5 mg/kg, i.p., chronic administration concurrent with morphine for 3 days) significantly shortened the exploration time (T1) in the object recognition task during spontaneous morphine withdrawal in male NMRI mice. At 2.5 mg/kg, it improved the recognition index (RI) to 22.1 ± 4.8 compared to vehicle-treated group (4.8 ± 2.5). Lower doses (0.62 and 1.25 mg/kg) did not improve RI. [3]
AM281 (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg, i.p., acute administration 40 min before the second trial) at 5 mg/kg significantly augmented RI to 8.5 ± 4 compared to vehicle (4.8 ± 2.5), but did not reach saline control values. Doses of 2.5 and 10 mg/kg showed no effect on RI. [3]
Cell Assay
CHO cells stably transfected with human CB1 or CB2 receptors were cultured in 96-well plates at a density of 2.0×10^5 cells/mL for 24 hours. To assess antagonist effects on CB1 internalization, cells were pre-incubated with two-fold serial dilutions of AM281 (20–20000 nM for CB1; 0.4–40000 nM for CB2) for one hour, followed by treatment with radiolabeled agonist ([3H]-Win 55,212-2 at 10 nM for CB1; [3H]-CP55,940 at 2 nM for CB2) for one hour. Cells were then washed twice with PBS, lysed with 1.0 N NaOH, and radioactivity was measured by liquid scintillation counting. Non-specific binding was determined using untransfected CHO-CAR cells and in the presence of antagonists. [1]
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male NMRI mice weighing 25-30 g [3] Doses: 0.62, 1.25 and 2.5 mg/kg (chronic dose); rapid dose of 5 mg/kg Can improve memory[3]. 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg (acute administration) Dosing: intraperitoneally (ip) (ip) with morphine daily except on the day of the experiment (chronic administration); alone 40 minutes before the second test (acute administration)
Experimental Results: Coadministration of AM281 and morphine daily Dramatically shortened exploration time compared to morphine-dependent mice receiving vehicle. The acute administration dose is 5 mg/kg, and the recognition index is Dramatically enhanced.
Male NMRI mice (25–30 g) were housed under controlled conditions (12 h light/dark cycle). Mice were made dependent on morphine by subcutaneous injection of increasing doses (30, 45, 60, 90 mg/kg) twice daily for 3 days. On the third day, the last morphine dose was given, and cognition was evaluated 4 hours later using the object recognition task. [3]
AM281 was dissolved in 4% DMSO and 0.9% saline and injected intraperitoneally. For chronic treatment, AM281 (0.62, 1.25, 2.5 mg/kg) was administered concurrently with morphine every day for 3 days. For acute treatment, AM281 (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg) was injected once 40 minutes before the second trial of the object recognition task. Control groups received saline or vehicle (DMSO/saline). [3]

Additional Infomation
1-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-5-(4-iodophenyl)-4-methyl-N-(4-morpholino)-3-pyrazole carboxamide is a pyrazole compound and a cyclic compound.
AM281 is a diarylpyrazole derivative developed as a selective CB1 cannabinoid receptor antagonist/inverse agonist. It was derived from Rimonabant by replacing the p-chlorophenyl group at position 5 with a p-iodophenyl moiety and replacing the piperidine group with a morpholino group. This modification resulted in a significant increase in selectivity for the CB1 receptor over CB2, with similar affinity for CB1. [1]
Chronic administration of AM281 (2.5 mg/kg) during morphine dependence improved memory performance in the object recognition task, suggesting that activation of CB1 receptors contributes to memory impairment during spontaneous morphine withdrawal. Acute administration (5 mg/kg) also improved memory, while higher doses (10 mg/kg) had no effect, possibly due to anxiety-like effects. [3]
