Overview

The cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) agonist program is a preclinical small molecule drug discovery initiative by the Warren Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery (WCNDD) at Vanderbilt University. The program focuses on developing selective agonists for the CB2 receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor primarily located on immune cells such as microglia. Activation of CB2 receptors is associated with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, making it a promising target for treating neuroinflammation without the psychoactive side effects linked to CB1 receptor activation. The program is currently in the hit-to-lead stage, aiming to identify optimized chemical leads for potential therapeutic application in neurodegenerative and inflammatory disorders.
