*Abstract

Currently, very few therapeutic approaches are available for the treatment or prevention of neurological/psychiatric disorders associated with endo-cannabinoid dysfunctions such as anorexia nervosa (AN). One such approach involves the use of direct acting CB1 agonists. However, this approach is associated with various disadvantages such as an abuse potential and an increased drug tolerance after a certain period of time. The proposed approach comprises the use of novel modulators of CB1 cannabinoid receptors such as PAM-1 for an effective treatment of these disorders.
