Used in research settings as a selective CB2 receptor agonist, it helps in studying the role of CB2 receptors in various physiological processes. Its application is significant in exploring potential therapeutic effects in conditions like inflammation, pain, and neurodegenerative diseases. By targeting CB2 receptors, it aids in understanding immune modulation and neuroprotection mechanisms. It is also utilized in preclinical studies to investigate its efficacy in managing chronic pain and inflammatory disorders without the psychoactive effects associated with CB1 receptor activation.
