Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9121688 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15728830 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11168547

WIN 55212-2 is the synthetic cannabimimetic compound. It is a potent aminoalkylindole cannabinoid receptor agonist. WIN 55,212-2 increases expression of anti-oxidant Cu/Zn SOD and is able to prevent inflammation induced by Aβ1-42 in cultured astrocytes. It exerts neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory actions against Aβ damage through both CB₁ and CB₂ receptors. WIN 55212-2 attenuates hyperalgesia and allodynia in a rat model of neuropathic pain. In the clinical trial, it was revealed that WIN 55212-2, applied topically, decreases the intraocular pressure of human glaucoma resistant to conventional therapies within the first 30 min.

Sample Use Guides

Rat: 2.14, 4.3 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal
In Vitro Use Guide
Radioligand binding studies were performed using male Sprague-Dawley rat cerebellar membranes from a 48,000 x g pellet which was washed twice by suspension in 20 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7. The final assay volume was 1 ml and included: 20 mM HEPES, pH 7; 0.5 nM [3H]-(R)-(+)-WIN 55212-2 (specific activity 59 Ci/mmOl, Dupont NEN); 1 mg/ml BSA; 100-120 ug cerebellar membrane protein and varying concentrations of competing compounds. WIN 55212-2 appeared to bind to a single class of sites (Kd = 2 nM: Bmax = 1.2 pmoles/mg protein) and was saturable, heat-labile, reversible and stereospecific.
