1-Aminopiperidine is a hydrochloric acid derivative that is used to treat tuberculosis. It inhibits the enzyme catalysis of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and blocks the release of arachidonic acid from cell membranes. 1-Aminopiperidine has been shown to have tuberculostatic activity in vivo by inhibiting PLA2 and blocking the release of arachidonic acid. This agent also exhibits antitumor properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), an inflammatory mediator that can stimulate tumor growth. 1-Aminopiperidine binds to cannabinoid receptors, but does not bind to opioid or benzodiazepine receptors. This drug also exhibits antagonist activity against rimonabant, a type of receptor blocker for cannabinoid receptors.
