Taranabant (codenamed MK-0364 ) is a cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1 ) inverse agonist that was investigated as a potential treatment for obesity due to its anorectic effects.[1] [2] It was discovered by Merck & Co.
In October 2008, Merck has stopped its phase III clinical trials with the drugs due to high level of central nervous system side effects, mainly depression and anxiety .[3] [4] [5] [6]
