AM630 is a potent and selective CB2 receptor inverse agonist [1]. AM630 enhances forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels, inhibits [14S]-GTPγS binding, and antagonizes the inhibitory effects of the CB₂ agonist CP55940 on cAMP [2-3]. AM630 is commonly used in anxiety and neurobehavioral research [4].
In RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cells, AM630 (200nM; 5d) inhibits osteoclast differentiation [5]. In hCB2 CHO cells, AM630 (10μM; 24h) enhances forskolin-stimulated cAMP production [6]. In C2C12 myoblasts, pretreatment with AM630 (5μM; 2h) combined with anandamide significantly increased COX activity and COX-1 protein expression [7].
In CD-1 mice, AM630 (0.3mg/kg, 1mg/kg, 10mg/kg; ip; 1.5h) increased cortical FADD, Bax, cytochrome c, and PARP cleavage [8]. AM630 (1 mg/kg; ip; single injection) treatment reduces the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio and increases SQSTM1/p62 expression in the bladders of mice with cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced cystitis [9].
