Abstract
The present invention relates to novel 2-cycloalkyl resorcinol compounds; to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds; and to methods of preparing the compounds and uses thereof. The disclosed compounds can bind to and modulate the cannabinoid receptors and thus, they are specific ligands for these receptors. The invented compounds, when administered in a therapeutically effective amount to an individual or animal, results in a sufficiently high level of that compound in the individual or animal to cause a physiological response. The physiological response may be useful to treat a number of physiological conditions.
