AM1241
Storr et al 2009

Murine Inflammatory Bowel Disease in vivo: reduced clinical scores. A CB2 receptor antagonist blocked beneficial effects. JWH-133 Singh et al 2012

Murine Autoimmune Uveoretinitis in vivo: inhibited T-cell infiltration into the eye by down-regulating adhesion molecules JWH-133 Xu et al 2007

Δ9-THC activates CB1 and CB2 receptors. JWH-133, O-1966 and AM1241 are CB2 selective.
