Why do people continue to remove URB597 and URB754 from the cannabinoids template? They belong in the group as cannabinoid modulatory substances esp. if Win55,212-2 gets included.
Grouping Change
I've organized this template into groups. If anyone disagrees with the change, please discuss here. --Ccroberts 05:23, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Inhibitors as cannabinoids?
Seems to me that inhibitors (URB597, AM404, URB754) should not be listed as 'cannabinoids.' My impression is that a 'cannabinoid' is anything that binds to cannabinoid receptors ("cannabinoid" means "cannabis-like"). Despite the fact that they cause cannabinoid-receptor mediated effects, inhibitors of enzymes that metabolize endocannabinoids (FAAH, MGL, etc) are not cannabinoids any more than aspirin is a prostaglandin.

- PS - check the definition in the intro to the cannabinoid page, it is quite clear. Roadnottaken 17:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
antagonists = cannabinoids?
i hate to bring up the same point again but to my intuition, a 'cannabinoid' is anything that is cannabis-like and CB receptor antagonists are the opposite. antagonists (AM251, rimonabant, etc) are anti-cannabinergic so i don't really see why they should be included in the 'synthetic cannabinoids' category. they should probably be listed on the template somewhere but this categorization really doesn't seem kosher to me.
