Abstract excerpt
In the mammalian central nervous system, monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) is principally responsible for inactivating the endocannabinoid signaling lipid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and modulates cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) desensitization and signal intensity. MGL is also a drug target for diseases in which CB1R stimulation may be therapeutic. To inform the design of human MGL (hMGL) inhibitors, we have...
