Weight loss raw material Pure 99% ACOMPLIA Rimonabant powder CAS 168273-06-1

Rimonabant is an inverse antagonist for the cannabinoid receptor (CB1). It acts by selectively blocking CB1 receptors found in the brain and in peripheral organs important in glucose and lipid metabolism, including adipose tissue, the liver, gastrointestinal tract, and muscle. Thus, rimonabant constitutes a therapeutic approach to obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. As an anorectic antiobesity drug, it was used as an adjunct to diet and exercise for obese or overweight patients with associ
Solid
Rimonabant is a carbohydrazide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid with the amino group of 1-aminopiperidine. It is a potent and selective cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) antagonist. Besides its antagonistic properties, numerous studies have shown that, at micromolar concentrations rimonabant behaves as an inverse agonist at CB1 receptors. The drug was the first selective CB1 antagonist/inverse agonist introduced into clinical practice to treat obesity and metabolic-related disorders. It was later withdrawn from market due to CNS-related adverse effects including depression and suicidal ideation. It has a role as an anti-obesity agent, a CB1 receptor antagonist and an appetite depressant. It is a member of pyrazoles, a dichlorobenzene, a carbohydrazide, an amidopiperidine and a member of monochlorobenzenes.|Rimonabant is an anorectic anti-obesity drug produced and marketed by Sanofi-Aventis. It is an inverse agonist for the cannabinoid receptor CB1. Its main avenue of effect is reduction in appetite. Rimonabant is the first selective CB1 receptor blocker to be approved for use anywhere in the world. Rimonabant is approved in 38 countries including the E.U., Mexico, and Brazil. It was rejected for approval for use in the United States. This decision was made after a U.S. advisory panel recommended the medicine not be approved because it may increase suicidal thinking and depression.|A pyrazole and piperidine derivative that acts as a selective cannabinoid type-1 receptor (CB1 RECEPTOR) antagonist. It inhibits the proliferation and maturation of ADIPOCYTES, improves lipid and glucose metabolism, and regulates food intake and energy balance. It is used in the management of OBESITY.
