Human cannabinoid receptor type 1 (hCB1R) plays important roles in the regulation of appetite and development of addictive behaviors. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis, photocharacterization, molecular docking, and in vitro characterization of "photo-rimonabant", i.e., azo-derivatives of the selective hCB1R antagonist SR1411716A (rimonabant). By applying azo-extension strategies, we yielded compound 16a, which shows marked affinity for CB1R (Ki (cis form) = 29 nM), whose potency increases by illumination with ultraviolet light (CB1R Kitrans/cis ratio = 15.3). Through radioligand binding, calcium mobilization, and cell luminescence assays, we established that 16a is highly selective for hCB1R over hCB2R. These selective antagonists can be valuable molecular tools for optical modulation of CBRs and better understanding of disorders associated with the endocannabinoid system.

A myriad of research groups have been engaged in searching for novel CB1 receptor antagonists, since SR141716A (rimonabant), a CB1 receptor antagonist, was discovered for an obesity treatment. In this research, extended series, based on the 1,5-diarylpyra

Cannabinoid CB1 receptors have been the focus of extensive studies since the first clinical results of rimonabant (SR141716) for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders were reported in 2001. To further evaluate the properties of CB recep
