Citations are shown to indicate effects produced by systemic administration of cannabinoid receptor agonists [∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol, 2-[(1R,2R,5R)-5-hydroxy-2-(3-hydroxypropyl) cyclohexyl]-5-(2-methyloctan-2-yl)phenol (CP55940), (11R)-2-methyl-11-[(morpholin-4-yl)methyl]-3-(naphthalene-1-carbonyl)-9-oxa-1-azatricyclo[6.3.1.0⁴,¹²]dodeca-2,4(12),5,7-tetraene (WIN55212-2), nabilone] in different types of preclinical procedures using the designated pain stimulus to produce the designated pain behavior. Fill color indicates predominant drug effects: green, drug usually effective; and red, drug usually ineffective. No fill indicates drug not tested. Citations are not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to illustrate typical outcomes.
