Abstract
The neutral fraction of a juniper (Juniperus communis L.) berries acetone extract could positively modulate the activity of type 1 - cannabinoid receptor (CB1R). Bioactivity-directed fractionation identified the labdane diterpenoid agathadiol (4) as a positive allosteric modulator of CB1R, while closely related analogues were inactive. Agathadiol (4) is a minor constituent of juniper, but could be more conveniently obtained by semisynthesis from agathic acid (8), a major constituent of Manila copal.File in questo prodotto:
