Abstract
A novel series of decahydroquinoline CB2 agonists is described. Optimization of the amide substituent led to improvements in CB2/CB1 selectivity as well as physical properties. Two key compounds were examined in the rat CFA model of acute inflammatory pain. A moderately selective CB2 agonist was active in this model. A CB2 agonist lacking functional CB1 activity was inactive in this model despite high in vivo exposure both peripherally and centrally.
