Cannabinomimetric Lipids : From Natural Extract to Artificial Synthesis Ya-Ru Gao, Yong-Qiang Wang Natural Products and Bioprospecting, 2018, 8, 1–21 doi : 10.1007/s13659-017-0151-9 Abstract Endocannabinoid system is related with various physiological and cognitive processes including fertility, pregnancy, during pre- and postnatal development, pain-sensation, mood, appetite, and memory. In the latest decades, an important milestone concerning the endocannabinoid system was the discovery of the existence of the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. Anandamide was the first reported endogenous metabolite, which adjusted the release of some neurotransmitters through binding to the CB1 or CB2 receptors. Then a series of cannabinomimetric lipids were extracted from marine organisms, which [...]

The ligands of the ECS are the endocannabinoids, whose actions are mimicked by exogenous cannabinoids, such as phytocannabinoids and synthetic cannabinoids. Responses to the ligands of the ECS are mediated by numerous receptors like the classical cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) as well as ECS-related receptors, e.g., G protein-coupled receptors 18 and 55 (GPR18 and GPR55), transient receptor potential ion channels, and nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors. The ECS regulatesalmost all levels of [...]

Cancer is a deadly disease; it is estimated that it will cause over 80 thousand deaths in 2019 in Canada. Although numerous studies have demonstrated that cannabinoids have anti-tumorous properties in various cancers, the anti-malignant activities of cannabinol (CBN) on carcinogenesis and underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we [...]
Lire la suiteTerpenoids From Cannabis Do Not Mediate an Entourage Effect by Acting at Cannabinoid Receptors David B. Finlay, Kathleen J. Sircombe, Mhairi Nimick, Callum Jones and Michelle Glass Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020, Volume 11, Article 359, 1-9. doi : 10.3389/fphar.2020.00359 The entourage effect was a proposed explanation for biological observations that endocannabinoid ligand activities can be modified by other lipids released from cells at the same time. An increasing volume of anecdotal reports and interest in the plant have provoked research into the activity of minor chemical constituents of the plant—including volatile terpenoids such as myrcene, a- and b- pinene, b-caryophyllene, and limonene. However, to [...]

The function of extra-synaptic glycine receptors in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus is impaired by cocaine and rescued by cannabinoids, therefore leading to the therapeutic effects of cannabinoids in treating cocaine-induced seizures. Highlights Cannabinoids alleviate cocaine-induced seizures (CISs) by glycine receptors (GlyRs) Cannabinoid docking reduces hydrogen-bonding interaction between cocaine and GlyRs The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus [...]

Julia Machado Khoury , Maila de Castro Lourenço das Neves, Marco Antônio Valente Roque, Daniela Alves de Brito Queiroz , Andre Augusto Corrêa de Freitas, Angelo de Fatima, Fabrıcio Moreira and Frederico Duarte Garcia The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry, 2017, 16 p. Doi : 10.1080/15622975.2017.1285049 ABSTRACT Objectives : Understanding whether cannabidiol (CBD) is useful and safe for the treatment of psychiatric disorders is essential to empower psychiatrists and patients to take good clinical decisions. Our aim was to conduct a systematic review regarding the benefits and adverse events (AEs) of CBD in the treatment of schizophrenia, psychotic [...]

Effectiveness of tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol inhibiting cell proliferation and epithelial mesenchymal transition in vitro Lara Milian, Manuel Mata, Javier Alcacer, Marıa Oliver, Marıa Sancho-Tello, Jose Javier Martın de Llano, Carlos Camps, Jose Galbis, Julian Carretero, Carmen Carda PLoS ONE, 2020, 15, (2): e0228909. Doi : 10.1371/journal.pone.0228909 Abstract Background/Objective : Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) develop resistance to antitumor agents by mechanisms that involve the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This necessitates the development of new complementary drugs, e.g., cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) agonists including tetrahydro-cannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). The combined use of THC and CBD [...]
