Product Description

Rimonabant (also known as SR141716, SR-141716A; A 281) is a novel, potent and selective antagonist (inverse agonist) of cannabinoid CB1 receptor with IC50 of 13.6 nM and EC50 of 17.3 nM in hCB1 transfected HEK 293 membrane. Rimonabant is used as an anorectic anti-obesity drug. Its principal impact is appetite suppression. A 285-fold CB1 selectivity has been demonstrated by rimonabant (Ki=1.8nM CB1, 514nM CB2). The affinity of Rimonabant for CB1-Rs is 50-fold higher than for CB2-Rs with a Ki value of 6.18nM for CB1-Rs. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that rimonabant, when used as a treatment alone, alters ingestive behaviors.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CB1 ( Ki = 1.8 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Rimonabant decreases ACAT activity in isolated peritoneal macrophages and Raw264.7 macrophages in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 2.9 μM. Rimonabant exhibits nearly equal efficacy in inhibiting ACATactivity in both intact CHO-ACAT1 and CHO-ACAT2 cells as well as in cell-free assays with IC50 of 1.5 μM and 2.2 μM for CHO-ACAT1 and CHO-ACAT2, respectively. Rimonabant treatment inhibits ACAT-dependent processes in macrophages, such as acetylated-LDL-induced foam cell formation and oxysterol-induced apoptosis, which is consistent with ACAT inhibition. In a concentration-dependent manner, rimonabant counteracts the inhibitory effects of cannabinoid receptor agonists on rat brain membrane adenylyl cyclase activity and mouse vas deferens contractions. Human colorectal cancer cell lines (DLD-1, CaCo-2, and SW620) exhibit markedly reduced cell proliferation and induced cell death in response to ridonabant. In every cell line tested, rimonabant can change the distribution of the cell cycle. Specifically, in DLD-1 cells, rimonabant causes a G2/M cell cycle arrest without causing necrosis or apoptosis.

ln Vivo
Rimonabant is given intraperitoneally or orally to potently and dose-dependently oppose the traditional pharmacological and behavioral effects of cannabinoid receptor agonists. In the mouse model of azoxymethane-induced colon carcinogenesis, Rimonabant significantly decreased aberrant crypt foci (ACF) formation, which precedes colorectal cancer. Male obese Zucker rats, aged two weeks to three months, are fed rimonabant (10 mg/kg by gavage) as a model of impaired glucose tolerance; the rats, aged ten weeks to six months, are fed the drug as a model of the metabolic syndrome. The serum levels of MCP-1 (monocyte chemotactic protein-1) and RANTES (Regulated upon Activation, Normal T cell Expressed and Secreted) are higher in obese Zucker rats compared to lean Zucker rats. Long-term Rimonabant treatment significantly reduces these levels, slowing weight gain in rats with the metabolic syndrome. Rimonabant reduces neutrophils and monocytes, which are markedly elevated in young, old, obese Zucker rats compared to lean Zucker rats. Rimonabant reduces platelet-bound fibrinogen, which is significantly increased in obese compared to lean Zucker rats of both ages. Obese rats' platelets are more susceptible to adhesion to fibrinogen and thrombin-induced aggregation, both of which are lessened by rimonabant therapy.
Enzyme Assay
Human CB1 and CB2 purify the cell membrane and transfect HEK 293 cells in a stable manner. In the incubation buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 0.3% BSA, pH 7.4), 0.2–8 μg of the purified membrane are incubated with 0.75 nM [3H] CP55,940 and Rimonabant. In the presence of 1 μM of CP55,940, the non-specific binding is defined. The reactions are incubated in Multiscreen at 30 °C for one and a half hours. After four rounds of ice-cold wash buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 0.25% BSA), the reactions are stopped by manifold filtration. With Topcount, the radioactivity bound to the filters is measured. The IC50 is computed using non-linear regression and is defined as the concentration of rimonabant needed to inhibit 50% of the binding of [3H] CP55,940.
Cell Assay
Raw 264.7 after rinsing 12-well plates with PBS, cells (2 × 106/well) are refed with culture media supplemented with different amounts of Rimonabant one hour before 7-ketocholesterol (7KC) are added. The amount of vehicle is adjusted so that each well receives the same amount. A fluorogenic substrate (ac-DEVD-AFC) and a spectrofluorometer fitted with a microplate reader are used to measure caspase-3 and caspase 3-like activity after a 16-hour incubation.
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in two drops of Tween 80, diluted in distilled water; 20 ml/kg (mice) and 5 ml/kg (rats); i.p. injection
Male mice and male rats

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
