USE OF COMPOUNDS AS FUNCTIONAL ANTAGONISTS TO THE CENTRAL CANNABINOID RECEPTORS

摘要

The invention refers to the use of saturated fatty acid acylamide derivatives as functional antagonists to the central cannabinoid receptors. These molecules, per se devoid of the psychotropic effects of classic cannabinoids, aminoalkylindoles, endocannabinoids known today, have the ability to behave as functional antagonists of the central cannabinoid receptors, when administered by different routes. For their pharmacological activity they are therefore suitable as drugs in pathological states or disorder which can be controlled through a reduction in the functionality of said receptors or through a reduction of the effect of the same endocannabinoids also caused by a reduced availability or affinity of the receptors.
