Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth

Rimonabant is a selective inverse agonist of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1). It was developed by Sanofi-Aventis and marketed under the trade name Acomplia for the treatment of obesity and smoking cessation. Rimonabant was approved in Europe in 2006, but it was withdrawn from the market in 2008 due to concerns about its safety profile, including an increased risk of psychiatric adverse events, such as depression and suicidal thoughts. Rimonabant's synthesis involves a multi-step process, starting with the reaction of a substituted benzene derivative with a suitable amino alcohol. The compound is then reacted with a series of reagents to introduce the desired functional groups. Rimonabant works by blocking the effects of endocannabinoids, which are naturally occurring compounds that bind to CB1 receptors and play a role in appetite, energy balance, and reward. By blocking CB1 receptors, rimonabant reduces appetite, increases energy expenditure, and decreases the rewarding effects of food. Rimonabant was studied extensively for its potential to treat obesity and smoking cessation. Clinical trials demonstrated that rimonabant was effective in promoting weight loss and reducing cigarette cravings. However, the drug was associated with a number of serious side effects, including depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. As a result, rimonabant was withdrawn from the market in 2008. Despite its withdrawal, rimonabant continues to be studied as a potential treatment for a variety of conditions, including metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis.'

Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) Psychosis Score

"The psychosis score is calculated by adding the scores for scales #4 Conceptual Disorganization, #11 Suspiciousness, #12 Hallucinatory Behavior, and #15 Unusual Thought Content. Each scale ranges from 1=Not Present to 7=Very Severe. The minimum psychosis score is 4 and the maximum psychosis score is 28. A higher score indicates a more severe psychosis rating." (NCT00547118)

The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT)

The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) is a computer-administered cognitive test that assesses risk preferences by simulating real-life decision making using uncertainty, rewards, and penalties. In the task, players are given four decks of cards and an endowment of fake money (e.g., $2000). Players are instructed to select cards one at a time and try to lose the least amount of money and win the most. The outcome measure was the number of rewarded minus punished card choices. Task has a maximum of 100 trials. The net score is the difference between the number of choices from advantageous decks verses disadvantageous decks. Higher scores are better and can range from -50 to +50. (NCT00547118)

The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS)

The RBANS is a brief, individually administered test designed to evaluate neuropsychological status of adults, ages 20-89. The 12 subtests measure attention, language, visuospatial/constructional abilities, and immediate and delayed memory. The raw scores from the subtests are scaled together to create index scores, and these are summed for conversion to a total scale score. Higher score equals a better outcome. The total index score range for the RBANS is 40-160. (NCT00547118)

Change From Day 0 in Performance on the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Batteries Spatial Working Memory (CANTAB SWM) Strategy Score at Day 28

The CANTAB SWM task is a validated computer-based testing instrument assessing the memory component of executive function. Strategy Score is an estimate of use of the most efficient strategy to complete the task. Scores range from 8-56; higher scores equate to poor use of the most efficient strategy. Change = (Day 28 Score - Day 0 Score). A more negative result indicates greater improvement. (NCT00656487)

Withdrawal Symptom Severity on the Marijuana Withdrawal Checklist (MWC) at 28 Days Following Single Dose Administration of Rimonabant or Placebo, or Commencement of Monitoring, During the Double-Blind Period

The MWC is a 28-item instrument that is used to assess the severity of frequently reported cannabis withdrawal symptoms. Each item on the measure is recorded as a severity rating between 0-3 where a zero indicates not present and a three indicates severe. The severity rating of each item was summed to obtain a single marijuana withdrawal severity score ranging between 0- 84. A lower score indicates less severe withdrawal. (NCT00656487)
