Product Overview:
AM251 is a cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor 1 antagonist.{9721} It binds to CB1 receptors in rat forebrain membrane preparations (Ki = 7.5 nM) and is selective over CB2 receptors in mouse spleen preparations (Ki = 2,290 nM) in radioligand binding assays. AM251 inhibits GTPγS binding induced by the CB receptor agonist CP 55,940 in HEK293 cells expressing human CB1 receptors (EC50 = 8 nM).{17583} AM251 (10 mg/kg) decreases immobility time in the forced swim test in wild-type but not CB1 receptor-deficient mice.{38334} It reduces fasting-induced food intake and body weight gain in mice when administered at a dose of 30 mg/kg. AM251 also induces GTPγS binding in HEK293 cells expressing the orphan receptor GPR55 (EC50 = 39 nM) and potentiates GABA-induced GABAA receptor currents (EC50 = 0.4 µM).{17583,38332} It prevents TGF-β1-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), inhibits SMAD2/3 and p38 MAPK activation, and reduces the expression of EMT-related transcription factors in HK-2 renal tubule epithelial cells.{38335} AM251 induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and apoptosis in A375 human melanoma cells.{38333}

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.
