Rimonabant (also known as SR141716; trade names Acomplia, Zimulti) was an anorectic antiobesity drug that was first approved in Europe in 2006 but was withdrawn worldwide in 2008 due to serious psychiatric side effects. Rimonabant is an inverse agonist for the cannabinoid receptor CB1 and was the first drug approved in that class. There is considerable evidence that the endocannabinoid (endogenous cannabinoid) system plays a significant role in appetitive drive and associated behaviors. It is, therefore, reasonable to hypothesize that the attenuation of the activity of this system would have therapeutic benefit in treating disorders that might have a component of excess appetitive drive or over-activity of the endocannabinoid system, such as obesity, ethanol and other drug abuse, and a variety of central nervous system and other disorders. Data from clinical trials submitted to regulatory authorities showed that rimonabant caused depressive disorders or mood alterations in up to 10% of subjects and suicidal ideation in around 1%, and in Europe, it was contraindicated for people with any psychiatric disorder, including depressed or suicidal people. Additionally, nausea and upper respiratory tract infections were very common (occurring in more than 10% of people) adverse effects; common adverse effects (occurring in between 1% and 10% of people) included gastroenteritis, anxiety, irritability, insomnia and other sleep disorders, hot flushes, diarrhea, vomiting, dry or itchy skin, tendonitis, muscle cramps and spasms, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, and increased risk of falling.

The 661 W cells were seeded at 3×103 cells per well in 96-well plates and then incubated for 24 h. The entire medium was then replaced with fresh medium containing 1% fetal bovine serum. Rimonabant (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) at 1–100 nM and trolox (Wako, Osaka, Japan) at 100 nM were added and, 1 h following treatment, the cells were exposed to 2500 lx of white fluorescent light (C-FPS115D; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) for 24 h at 37 °C. The luminance was measured using a light meter, LM-332 (As One, Osaka, Japan). Nuclear staining assays were performed after an additional 24 h of incubation.
