Here's another interesting research...
| Quote: |
ACOMPLIA (RIMONABANT) - INVESTIGATIONAL AGENT FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OBESITY
Under development by Sanofi-Aventis (formerly Sanofi-Synthelabo), Acomplia (rimonabant) is a selective CB1 endocannabinoid receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of obesity. The drug, which has progressed to phase III development, works by blocking endogenous cannabinoid binding to neuronal CB1 receptors. Activation of these receptors by endoegenous cannabinoids, such as anadamide, increases appetite. It is the only endocannabinoid receptor antagonist in clinical development and thus offers a unique therapeutic approach to appetite control and weight reduction. The drug also has potential as a treatment for smoking cessation because the endocannabinoid system is also involved in the body's response to tobacco dependence.
On the back of successful clinical trials in overweight and obese subjects, Sanofi-Aventis plans to file an NDA with the FDA during the first half of 2005 and, if successful, hopes to bring the drug to market in early 2006.

Interesting... So it blocks certain receptors from allowing cannabinoid's to bind to them... Interesting. Easy to see where this research might lead.
Peace

taken from a caption below a Canabis plant picture on the same page as the article Brother Ferre posted.
so they invented the "anti-munchie" because of pot smokers experience if I read this corectly? I cant wait till it gets FDA aproval and the government has to at least claim 1 instance of Cannabis research being usefull for humanity.

Nope. I want my cannabinoid receptors to be oiled and in tip-top working order.
Bliss,
