Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) selective agonists and inverse agonists possess significant potential as therapeutic agents for regulating inflammation and immune function. Although CB2 agonists have received the greatest attention, it is emerging that inverse agonists also manifest anti-inflammatory activity. In process of designing new cannabinoid ligands we discovered that the 2,6-dihydroxy-biphenyl-aryl methanone scaffold imparts inverse agonist activity at CB2 receptor without functional activity at CB1. To further explore the scaffold we synthesized a series of (3′,5′-dichloro-2,6-dihydroxy-biphenyl-4-yl)-aryl/alkyl-methanone analogs and evaluated the CB1 and CB2 affinity, potency, and efficacy. The studies reveal that an aromatic C ring is required for inverse agonist activity and that substitution at the 4 position is optimum. The resorcinol moiety is required for optimum CB2 inverse agonist activity and selectivity. Antagonist studies against CP 55,940 demonstrate that the compounds 41 and 45 are noncompetitive antagonists at CB2.

Page/Page column 7-8, (2015/01/07)
A method for selective deoxygenation of hydroxybenzaldehydes including, condensing syringaldehyde (3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) and a functionalized phenylacetic acid with at least one first base and at least one anhydride to produce an arylcinnamic acid, decarboxylating of said arylcinnamic acid with at least one decarboxylation catalyst at temperatures ranging from about 30° C. to 200° C. or thermally at temperatures ranging from about 100° C. to 350° C. to produce a first stilbene, hydrodeoxygenating the stilbene by conversion to a sulfonate in the presence of at least one second base in water or at least one organic solvent to yield a sulfonate reducing the sulfonate(s) with a reductive elimination catalyst to produce a second stilbene, and reacting the second stilbene with a hydrolyzing agent to generate a polyphenol.

Two novel triaryl ligands 2 and 5 with potent in vitro binding affinities for the cannabinoid subtype-2 (CB2) receptor were labeled with a positron-emitting radioactive nuclide 11C. Radioligands [11C]2, [11C]5, and their analogs [11C]3 and [11C]4 were synthesized by O-[11C]methylation of their corresponding phenol precursors with [11C]CH3I. [11C]2-5 had relatively high uptakes (>1.2% injected dose/g tissue) in mouse brains.

supporting information; experimental part, p. 3772 - 3781 (2009/10/24)
The total syntheses of (-)-cylindrocyclophane A (1), a naturally occurring, cytotoxic [7.7]paracyclophane, and its enantiomer have been achieved in an enantiodivergent manner starting from a chiral propargyl alcohol building block using Smith's cross metathesis/ring-closing metathesis protocol as the key step. The biological evaluation of both enantiomers of cylindrocyclophane A (1 and ent-1) and its analogues indicated that the chirality of 1 is irrelevant to its cytotoxicity, which is attributed to the resorcinol motifs embedded in the robust [7.7]paracyclophane framework.
Design and synthesis of novel tri-aryl CB2 selective cannabinoid ligands
Bhattacharjee, Himanshu,Gurley, Steven N.,Moore II, Bob M.
scheme or table, p. 1691 - 1693 (2009/12/03)
A novel series of cannabinoid ligands with a structurally unique tri-aryl core has been designed, synthesized and assayed. Receptor binding assays show that these compounds possess CB2 receptor sub-type selectivity with binding affinities ranging from 1.07 (±0.05) for 7 to 4.77 (±0.57) nM for 6. The selectivity of the compounds was enhanced 9-600-fold for the CB2 receptor over the CB1 receptor. The results of our present study identify a novel, highly selective cannabinoid scaffold with a non-classical core.
