Abstract
Recently sulfamoyl benzamides were identified as a novel series of cannabinoid receptor ligands. Replacing the sulfonamide functionality and reversing the original carboxamide bond led to the discovery of N-(3-(morpholinomethyl)-phenyl)-amides as potent and selective CB2 agonists. Selective CB2 agonist 31 (Ki = 2.7; CB1/CB2 = 190) displayed robust activity in a rodent model of postoperative pain.
