CB2 receptor agonists

CB2 receptor agonists are substances that activate the CB2 receptors, which are part of the body’s endocannabinoid system. These receptors are primarily found in the immune system and are involved in regulating pain, inflammation, and immune responses. When CB2 receptors are activated, they can help reduce pain and inflammation without affecting mental functions, as they are less involved in mood and memory compared to CB1 receptors. Researchers are exploring CB2 agonists for potential therapeutic uses, such as managing chronic pain and autoimmune diseases, offering a pathway for treatments with fewer side effects.
