Peripherally-restricted cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB) selective antagonists have the potential to inhibit food intake while also escaping centrally-mediated neuropsychiatric side effects. AM6545 is a novel CB selective neutral antagonist with low CNS penetration, exhibiting K values of 1.7 and 523 nM for CB and CB receptors, respectively. It reduces food intake and food-reinforced behavior, such as time spent feeding, in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in decreased body weight. AM6545 produces improvements in glucose homeostasis, fatty liver, and plasma lipid profiles in mice with diet-induced obesity. It does not affect behavior responses that are associated with activation of CB receptors in the brain.
AM6545 is a highly selective, brain-free (peripherally active) CB1 receptor antagonist (Ki=1.7 nM). AM6545 inhibits endocannabinoid signaling by competitively antagonizing CB1 receptors, inhibiting CB1-mediated appetite stimulation and inflammatory responses without affecting cAMP levels. AM6545 significantly reduces food intake and body weight in mice, while improving metabolic syndrome-related renal impairment (such as proteinuria, fibrosis) and insulin resistance. AM6545 can be used in the study of obesity and its complications.

体内研究
AM6545 (5-20 mg/kg; i.p.; once per day; When Sprague Dawley is subjected to chronic or acute treatment for 7 days or a single dose, both 10 and 20 mg/kg reduce food intake and continue to decrease body weight.
After treatment with AM6545 (10 mg/kg; ip; single dose) in C57BL/6 J mice, specific activation of PKA signaling was induced in adipose tissue, and Akt mTOR and ERK phosphorylation levels were upregulated.
AM6545 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; once per day; 4 weeks) significantly improved renal function, inhibited proteinuria, uric acid excretion, and renal fibrosis in a large model of metabolic syndrome.
Reduced proteinuria (50%) and urinary uric acid (attenuated 10-fold increase), alleviated glomerular hypertrophy, tubular injury, and collagen deposition, and suppressed renal TGF β1 expression
Animal Model:
C57BL/6 mice (male, 18.5-21.0 g; normal diet)
Dosage:
10 mg/kg (4% DMSO, 10% Tween 80, 80-95% saline)
Administration:
Intraperitoneal injection, single.
Result:
Significantly modified p-PKA substrates in adipose and liver tissue, but the responsive substrates are tissue-specific and remain to be determined Upregulated ERK1 phosphorylation at Thr202 in WAT, liver, TA. Upregulated p-Akt(Ser473) and p-mTOR(Ser2448) in liver.
