- Product Overview:
Because selective activation of peripheral cannabinoid (CB2) receptors in rat C-6 glioma cells has been shown to induce apoptosis through enhanced ceramide synthesis de novo, CB2 agonists present potential as anti glioma agents.{19828} KM 233 is a ?8-tetrahydrocannabinol analog with a dimethyl substitution that exhibits high binding affinity for both the CB1 and CB2 receptors with 13-fold selectivity for the CB2 receptor (Kis = 12.3 and 0.91 nM, respectively).{19834} Demonstrating good lipophilicity and ability to penetrate the blood brain barrier, KM 233 inhibits human U87 glioma cell proliferation in vitro with an IC50 value of 1.4 ?M and significantly reduces U87 glioma tumor size in vivo at a dose of 2 mg/kg in a SCID mouse xenograft side-pocket model.{19835}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
