L-759,633

L-759,633 is an analgesic drug which is a cannabinoid agonist. It is a fairly selective agonist for the CB₂ receptor, with selectivity of 163x for CB₂ over CB₁.^[1]

It produces some similar effects to other cannabinoid agonists such as analgesia, but with little or no sedative or psychoactive effects due to its weak CB₁ activity, and a relatively strong antiinflammatory effect due to its strong activity at CB₂.^[2]^[3]
