Novel monocyclic analogues of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) were designed in order to explore the pharillacophoric conformations of this endocannabinoid ligand at the key cannabinergic proteins. All 2-arachidonoyl esters of 1,2,3-cyclohexanetriol [meso-7 (AM5504), ()+/- 8 (AM5503), and ineso-9 (AM5505)] were synthesized by regioselective acylation of 2,3-dihydroxycyclohexanone followed by selective reductions. The optically active isomers (+)-8 (AM4434) and (-)-8 (AM4435) were synthesized from (2S,3S)- and (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxycyclohexanone, respectively, via a chernoenzymatic route. These head group constrained and conformationally restricted analogues of 2-AG as well as the 1-keto precursors were evaluated as substrates for the endocannabinoid deactivating hydrolytic enzymes monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), and also were tested for their affinities for CBI and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. The observed biochemical differences between these ligands can help define the conformational requirements for 2-AG activity at each of the above endocannabinoid protein targets.
