Cannabinoid receptor
Dexanabinol primarily targets the NMDA receptor as an antagonist, protecting neurons from excitotoxic damage; it does not bind to CB1 or CB2 receptors. It also inhibits NF‑κB and acts as a free radical scavenger, contributing to its anti‑inflammatory and neuroprotective profile through suppression of pro‑inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress. |

| ln Vitro |
Researchers report the synthesis of terminally fluorinated HU-210 and HU-211 analogues (HU-210F and HU-211F, respectively) and their biological evaluation as ligands of cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) and N-methyl d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). [18F]-labelled HU-210F was radiosynthesised from the bromo-substituted precursor. In vitro assays showed that both HU-210F and HU-211F retain the potent pharmacological profile of HU-210 and HU-211, suggesting that [18F]-radiolabelled HU-210F and HU-211F could have potential as PET tracers for in vivo imaging.[1]
CB receptor agonist HU-210 exhibits an infarction-limiting effect during in vitro reperfusion of the heart after focal ischemia. This effect is paralleled by a decrease in left-ventricular developed pressure and double product. In addition, HU-210 reduces end-diastolic pressure during the reperfusion period, which indirectly attests to reduced Ca2+ overload of cardiomyocytes[3]. In vitro, dexanabinol protects against NMDA‑ and quisqualate‑induced neurotoxicity with an EC50 of 3.8 μM. It enhances dopamine D1 receptor activity, inhibits NF‑κB, and reduces production of TNF‑α, IL‑6, and nitric oxide. Its free radical‑scavenging activity further protects neurons from reactive oxygen species damage, underpinning its neuroprotective and anti‑inflammatory actions. |
| ln Vivo |
Upon DSS challenge, mice suffered from bloody stool, colon shortening, intestinal mucosa edema, pro-inflammatory cytokine increase and intestinal barrier destruction with goblet cell depletion, increased intestinal microflora accompanied with elevated plasma lipopolysaccharide, reduced mRNA expression of the intestinal tight junction proteins, and abnormal ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T cells in the intestinal Peyer's patches. Pro-inflammatory cytokines in the plasma and the lung, as well as pulmonary myeloperoxidase activity, indicators of extraintestinal inflammation were increased. Protein expression of p38α and pp38 was up-regulated in the colon of WT mice. Tlr4 -/- mice showed milder colitis. HU210 reversed the intestinal barrier changes in both strains of mice, but alleviated inflammation only in WT mice.Conclusions: Our study indicates that in experimental colitis, HU210 displays a protective effect on the intestinal barrier function independently of the TLR4 signaling pathway; however, in the extraintestinal tissues, the anti-inflammatory action seems through affecting TLR4-mediated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway [2].
In vivo, dexanabinol (5 mg/kg, i.v., single dose) protects against blood‑brain barrier disruption within 24 hours post‑injury. It shows beneficial effects in models of traumatic brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, bacterial meningitis, septic shock, and epilepsy, attributed to NMDA antagonism, antioxidant effects, and inhibition of inflammatory pathways. |
| Enzyme Assay |
NMDA receptor binding is assessed by radioligand displacement using [³H]MK‑801 in rat brain membranes; non‑specific binding is determined with excess unlabeled ligand, and affinity is calculated from competition curves. Free radical scavenging is measured by cell‑free DPPH or ABTS assays, while NF‑κB inhibition can be evaluated by electrophoretic mobility shift assays using nuclear extracts.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell‑based neuroprotection assays use primary neuronal cultures exposed to NMDA or glutamate with or without dexanabinol; cell viability is measured by MTT or LDH release. Anti‑inflammatory activity is assessed in microglial or macrophage cell lines stimulated with LPS, measuring cytokine production (TNF‑α, IL‑6) by ELISA or qPCR.

| Animal Protocol |
Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is strongly associated with inflammation and intestinal barrier disorder. The nonselective cannabinoid receptor agonist HU210 has been shown to ameliorate inflamed colon in colitis, but its effects on intestinal barrier function and extraintestinal inflammation are unclear. [2]
Aims: To investigate the effects and the underlying mechanism of HU210 action on the UC in relation to a role of TLR4 and MAP kinase signaling. [2] Methods: Wild-type (WT) and TLR4 knockout (Tlr4 -/-) mice were exposed to 4% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for 7 days. The effects of HU210 on inflammation and intestinal barrier were explored. [2] In vivo animal studies are conducted in rodent models of brain injury, stroke, and neuroinflammation; dexanabinol is given intravenously or intraperitoneally at doses around 5 mg/kg. Outcomes include infarct size, neurological deficit scores, BBB permeability, and inflammatory markers. Efficacy is also tested in EAE models and septic shock. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Dexanabinol is brain‑penetrant; after i.v. administration of 5 mg/kg, it distributes to the CNS. Its half‑life, volume of distribution, and clearance are consistent with a lipophilic molecule crossing the blood‑brain barrier. Detailed PK parameters are not fully reported but support its use in acute neurological conditions.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Preclinical toxicity studies indicate that dexanabinol is well tolerated at neuroprotective doses, lacking the psychomotor effects of Δ9‑THC due to its inactivity at cannabinoid receptors. No detailed NOAEL or organ‑specific toxicity data are available, but its safety profile appears favourable for acute CNS indications based on animal model outcomes.

| Additional Infomation |
Desenabinol is a 1-benzopyran compound. Desenabinol is a synthetic terpenoid cannabinoid derivative that lacks cannabinoid receptor 1 and 2 agonist activity but possesses potential neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities. As an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, desenabinol can protect neurons from the neurotoxic damage caused by NMDA and glutamate. This compound can also scavenge free radicals, protecting neurons from reactive oxygen species damage. Furthermore, desenabinol inhibits the activity of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), thereby preventing the expression of NF-κB target genes such as tumor necrosis factor α, cytokines, and inducible nitric oxide synthase. Therefore, this compound may restore the apoptosis process in cancer cells. NF-κB is activated in a variety of cancer cells and plays a crucial role in the regulation of apoptosis and cell proliferation.
Pharmaceutical Indications It has been investigated for the treatment of traumatic brain injury and neurological disorders. Dexanabinol is an investigational compound not yet approved; it has been studied for stroke, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological disorders. Its unique combination of NMDA antagonism, antioxidant, and anti‑inflammatory actions, without psychoactivity, makes it a promising candidate. Further clinical development is required to confirm efficacy and safety. |
