GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 1589491
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Sepsecs
Name: Sep (O-phosphoserine) tRNA:Sec (selenocysteine) tRNA synthase
Acc ID: CHEBI:34967
Term: rimonabant
Definition: A carbohydrazide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid with the amino group of 1-aminopiperidine. It is a potent and selective cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) antagonist. Besides its antagonistic properties, numerous studies have shown that, at micromolar concentrations rimonabant behaves as an inverse agonist at CB1 receptors. The drug was the first selective CB1 antagonist/inverse agonist introduced into clinical practice to treat obesity and metabolic-related disorders. It was later withdrawn from market due to CNS-related adverse effects including depression and suicidal ideation.
Chemical ID: MESH:D000077285
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
