Ibipinabant (SLV319 BMS-646256) is a drug used in scientific research which acts as a potent and highly selective CB1 antagonist. It has potent anorectic effects in animals and was researched for the treatment of obesity although CB1 antagonists as a class have now fallen out of favour as potential anorectics following the problems seen with rimonabant and so ibipinabant is now only used for laboratory research especially structure-activity relationship studies into novel CB1 antagonists.
