Pregnenolone monosulfate acts as a signaling-specific inhibitor of cannabinoid CB1 receptor, inhibits the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that are mediated by the CB1 receptors. Pregnenolone monosulfate can protect the brain from cannabis intoxication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1247-64-9\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 396.54\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormula:\u003c\/strong\u003e C21H32O5S\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSynonym:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding-left:1em;\"\u003e3β-Hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one monosulfate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e [(1S,3aS,3bS,7S,9aR,9bS,11aS)-1-acetyl-3a,3b,9b-trihydrogenio-9a,11a-dimethyl-1H,2H,3H,3aH,3bH,4H,6H,7H,8H,9H,9aH,9bH,10H,11H,11aH-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-7-yl]oxidanesulfonic acid\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmiles:\u003c\/strong\u003e CC(=O)[C@H]1CC[C@H]2[C@@H]3CC=C4C[C@H](CC[C@]4(C)[C@H]3CC[C@@]21C)OS(O)(=O)=O\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInChiKey:\u003c\/strong\u003e DIJBBUIOWGGQOP-QGVNFLHTSA-N\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInChi:\u003c\/strong\u003e InChI=1S\/C21H32O5S\/c1-13(22)17-6-7-18-16-5-4-14-12-15(26-27(23,24)25)8-10-20(14,2)19(16)9-11-21(17,18)3\/h4,15-19H,5-12H2,1-3H3,(H,23,24,25)\/t15-,16-,17+,18-,19-,20-,21+\/m0\/s1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Power\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥98% (or refer to the Certificate of Analysis)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e DMSO : 62.5 mg\/mL (157.61 mM; Need ultrasonic).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shipped under ambient temperature as non-hazardous chemical or refer to Certificate of Analysis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry, dark and -20 \u003csup\u003eo\u003c\/sup\u003eC for 1 year or refer to the Certificate of Analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥12 months if stored properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Solution Storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 - 4 \u003csup\u003eo\u003c\/sup\u003eC for 1 month or refer to the Certificate of Analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-indent:-1em;padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrug Formulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e To be determined\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHS Tariff Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 382200\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Vitro:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding-left:1em;\"\u003eCB1 receptor stimulation increases brain Pregnenolone levels, which in turn exerts a negative feedback on the activity of the CB1 receptor antagonizing most of the known behavioral and somatic effects of THC. Pregnenolone likely acts as a signaling-specific negative allosteric modulator binding to a site distinct from that occupied by orthosteric ligands. Pregnenolone does not modify agonist binding but only agonist efficacy. The effect of THC is significantly attenuated when slices are pre-treated with Pregnenolone 100 nM (15.1±1.8 % of inhibition). These effects are likely due to a pre-synaptic action of Pregnenolone. Thus, Pregnenolone blocks the increase in paired-pulse ratio (PPR) induced by THC but does not modify either the amplitude or the decay time of miniature EPSC (mEPSC).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Vivo:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding-left:1em;\"\u003ePregnenolone administration (2-6 mg\/kg) blocks THC-induced food-intake in Wistar rats and in C57BL\/6N mice, and blunts the memory impairment induced by THC in mice, but it does not modify these behaviors per se. Injections of Pregnenolone (2 and 4mg\/kg) before each self-administration session reduce the intake of WIN 55,212-2 and reduce the break-point in a progressive ratio schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col style=\"padding-left:1em;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVallee M, et al.
