Definition

  • Rimonabant is the first inverse agonist discovered for the cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) and is being developed for the treatment of obesity. Although rimonabant binds to the CB1R, it is not a cannabinoid-like compound and bears no structural resemblance to cannabinoids. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Rimonabant]
