Acomplia (Rimonabant) Cannibis Connection?

Rimonabant developed from the knowledge that cannabis smokers often experience extreme hunger pangs, which cannabis smokers refer to as 'the munchies'. Acomplia works on the premise that if cannabinoids stimulate appetite, blocking cannabinoid receptors in the brain might reduce appetite.

The central cannabinoid (CB1) receptors are believed to play a role in controlling food consumption and the phenomena of dependence or habit. Acomplia (Rimonabant) emerged from this researched process as a potent CB1 receptor antagonist. Preclinical animal studies subsequently showed that it could reduce consumption of fats and sugars, which contribute to weight gain.

Trials involving over 6,000 obese subjects that were carried out in both the US and Europe, showed that overweight and obese patients taking Acomplia (Rimonabant) achieved significant reductions in body weight, and waist circumference (an indicator of abdominal obesity).

We feel in the prevailing market there is a clear opportunity for an effective and well-tolerated anti-obesity drug.

The US FDA has yet to vote to approve this drug in the US. The vote on this medication in Europe is expected at the end of June 2007.
