AM4113 is a Cannabinoid CB-1 neutral antagonist. AM4113 reduced reward and reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior, reducing cue-induced reinstatement in monkeys trained to self-administer cocaine.
AM4113 is a pyrazole-3-carboxamide analog of rimonabant (SR141716A). In rats, it suppresses food-motivated behaviors and food intake, thereby reducing weight gain without inducing nausea. AM4113 has poor oral bioavailability. Therefore, it may not act as an effective appetite suppressant in humans.
