Monlunabant (INV-202, MRI-1891, or S-MRI-1891 ) is a peripherally selective cannabinoid receptor 1 inverse agonist , discovered as a β-arrestin-2-biased cannabinoid receptor 1 antagonist by Dr George Kunos, Dr Resat Cinar, and Dr Malliga Iyer at the National Institutes of Health .[ 1] It was developed as a weight loss drug by Inversago Pharma.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Novo Nordisk’s obesity drug monlunabant showed only modest weight loss in a Phase 2a trial.[ 5] The drug was associated with higher rates of mild to moderate neuropsychiatric side effects like anxiety and sleep disturbances.[ 6] Suicidal ideations were not reported.
