Discovery of α-amidosulfones as potent and selective agonists of CB2: Synthesis, SAR, and pharmacokinetic properties

Abstract A series of α-amidosulfones were found to be potent and selective agonists of CB 2 . The discovery, synthesis, and structure–activity relationships of this series of agonists are reported. In addition, the pharmacokinetic properties of the most promising compounds are profiled.
