L-759656 is an analgesic drug that is a cannabinoid agonist. It is a highly selective agonist for the CB2 receptor with selectivity of 414x for CB2 over CB1 although it is still not as selective as newer agents such as HU-308.It produces some similar effects to other cannabinoid agonists such as analgesia but with little or no sedative or psychoactive effects due to its weak CB1 activity and a relatively strong antiinflammatory effect due to its strong activity at CB2.
