MOLCAD-predicted CB 2 -binding pocket surrounded by active amino acid residues, showing an amphipathic contour, hydrophilic center (blue), and hydrophobic cleft (brown). The site-directed mutagenesis– 11/5/2008 3:01 AM 5 of 9 http://thepointeedition.lww.com/pt/re/9780781768795/bookContentPane_... detected binding residues are color-coded in terms of their distance to the pocket (magenta > yellow > green > blue) as the interaction weakens. (See black and white image.) Fig. 3.11. CoMFA contour maps for arylpyrazole antagonists of cannabinoid receptor subtypes CB 1 (A) and CB 2 (B). Sterically favored areas (contribution level, 80%) are shown in green. Sterically unfavored areas (contribution level, 20%) are shown in yellow, and positivepotential favored areas (contribution level, 80%) are shown in blue. Positive-potential unfavored areas (contribution level, 20%) are shown in red. Plots of the corresponding CoMFA-calculated and experimental values of binding affinity (given as pK i ) of arylpyrazole compounds at CB 1 (AA) and CB2 (BB) receptor, respectively are shown as well.
