Figure 1. Cannabinoid ligands.

Figure 1

Representative compounds of the four major chemical classes of exogenous cannabinoid ligands. Note that the classical cannabinoid Δ9-THC is a relatively low efficacy partial agonist at cannabinoid receptors, the non-classical cannabinoid CP 55,940 and the aminoalkylindole JWH-018 are both full agonists at CB1 receptors, while the 1,5 biarylpyrazole rimonabant functions as an antagonist/inverse agonist at cannabinoid receptors.
