CB1 antagonists

CB1 antagonists are medications that block the CB1 receptors in the brain and nervous system, which are involved in regulating appetite, mood, and pain. By preventing these receptors from being activated, CB1 antagonists can reduce hunger and help with weight loss, and may also impact mood and drug addiction. They are studied for treating obesity, metabolic disorders, and certain mental health conditions. However, their use must be carefully managed due to potential side effects, and they are typically prescribed under medical supervision.
