Product Description: HU-308 is a highly selective CB2 receptor agonist belonging to the synthetic cannabinoid analogues. The affinity of HU-308 to CB2 receptor is more than 440 times higher than that of CB1 receptor. CB2 receptors are mainly distributed in immune cells and are responsible for regulating the immunosuppressive effects of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). HU-308 has anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and bioactive properties that regulate microglia function. HU-308 can be used in the study of neuroinflammation and retinal diseases[1].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neuromodulation
Formula: C27H42O3
