Taranabant is a cannabinoid (CB) receptor 1 inverse agonist (Ki = 0.13 nM). It is selective for CB1 over CB2 receptors (Ki = 170 nM), as well as a panel of 170 receptors, enzymes, ion channels, and transporters at 1 µM. Taranabant increases forskolin-induced cAMP production in CHO cell membranes expressing human CB1...
