The agonist binding mechanism of human CB2 receptor studied by molecular dynamics simulation, free energy calculation and 3D-QSAR studies.

“CB2-selective agonists have drawn attention in drug discovery, since CB2 becomes a promising target for the treatment of neuropathic pain without psychoactive or other CNS-related side effects…

A combinational exploration of both CoMFA steric and potential contour maps for CB2 affinities and the MD studied interaction modes sheds light on the structural requirements for CB2 agonists and serves as a basis for the design of novel CB2 agonists.”
