We describe herein the discovery of LASSBio-881 (3c) as a novel in vivo antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and in vitro antiproliferative and antioxidant compound, with a cannabinoid ligand profile. We observed that LASSBio-881 (3c) was able to bind to CBI receptors (71% at 100 mu M) and also to inhibit T-cell proliferation (66% at 10 mu M) probably by binding to CB2 receptors, in a non-proapoptotic manner, different from anandamide (1). It was also demonstrated that LASSBio-881 (3c) had an important antioxidant profile toward free radicals (DPPH and hydroxyl), probably due to its particular redox behavior, which reflects the presence of both nitro and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl sub-units, as demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry studies. In addition, we showed that these structural sub-units are essential for the observed pharmacological activity. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
