JZL184

JZL 184 is a potent and selective inhibitor of MAGL with IC50 of 8 nM and 4 μM for inhibition of MAGL and FAAH in mouse brain membranes respectively.IC50 value: 8 nM [1]Target: MAGL inhibitorin vitro: JZL184 prolongs DSE in Purkinje neurons in cerebellar slices and DSI in CA1 pyramidal neurons in hippocampal slices. JZL184 is more potent in inhibiting mouse MAGL than rat MAGL [2]. in vivo: When administered to mice at 16 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, JZL 184 reduces MAGL activity by 85%, elevates brain 2-AG levels by 8-fold, and elicits analgesic activity in a variety of pain assays that qualitatively mimics direct central cannabinoid (CB1) agonists [1]. Acute administration of JZL184 to FAAH(-/-) mice enhanced the magnitude of a subset of cannabimimetic responses, repeated JZL184 treatment led to tolerance to its antinociceptive effects, cross-tolerance to the pharmacological effects of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, decreases in CB1 receptor agonist-stimulated guanosine 5'-O-(3-[(35)S]thio)triphosphate binding, and dependence as indicated by rimonabant-precipitated withdrawal behaviors, regardless of genotype [3].
