We acknowledge and greatly appreciate support from the National Institutes of Health for funding not only this work but also decades of foundational forming the knowledge base that enabled these recent advances. Without NIH funding this wouldn't have happened

This new class of agonists shows signaling bias, substantially improved peripheral restriction compared to previously reported "peripherally-restricted" CB1 ligands. The result is a dramatic reduction in analgesic tolerance and unwanted CNS-mediated side effects.
