What is Rimonabant ?
Acomplia (rimonabant) was the first in a new class of therapeutic agents called Cannabinoid-1 Receptor Blockers (CB1).
Rimonabant was studied for use in the treatment of obesity and related conditions.
How does Rimonabant work?
Rimonabant acts by selectively blocking CB1 receptors found in the brain and in peripheral organs important in glucose and lipid (or fat) metabolism, including adipose tissue, the liver, gastrointestinal tract and muscle2.
Rimonabant switches off the same brain circuits that make people hungry when they smoke cannabis.
CB1 receptor blockade with Rimonabant acts to decrease the overactivity of the endocannabinoid system (EC system).3,4 The EC system is a recently characterised physiological system that includes receptors such as the CB1 receptor and it has been shown to play an important role in regulating body weight and in controlling energy balance, as well as glucose and lipid (or fat) metabolism.
What is Rimonabant used for?
Rimonabant was studied to be used complementary to diet and exercise to treat obese or overweight patients who suffer from type 2 diabetes and abnormal levels of fat in the blood.
Sanofi argued that Rimonabant could also prevent the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Patients with large waist circumference (102 cm in men and 88 cm in women) were said to most benefit from taking the drug.
