| Bioactivity | Drinabant (AVE1625) is an orally active CB1 receptor antagonist. Drinabant (AVE1625) inhibits the agonist-stimulated calcium signal with IC50 values of 25 nM and 10 nM for the hCB1-R and rCB1-R, respectively, and is ineffective for the hCB2-R[1]. |
| In Vivo | AVE1625 (10 mg/kg orally once daily), combined with Olanzapine (HY-14541) attenuates body weight gain, diminishing the enhanced food intake while maintaining increased energy expenditure and decreased motility[2].AVE1625 (1, 3, and 10 mg/kg ip), reverses abnormally persistent LI induced by MK-801 (HY-15084B) or neonatal nitric oxide synthase inhibition in rodents, and improves both working and episodic memory[3].
