CB2 Cannabinoid receptors as a therapeutic target-what does the future hold?
The past decades have seen an exponential rise in our understanding of the endocannabinoid system, comprising CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), and the enzymes that synthesize and degrade endocannabinoids. The primary focus of this review is the CB2 receptor. CB2 receptors have been the subject of considerable attention, primarily due to their promis...
متن کاملPharmacological actions of cannabinoids.
Mammalian tissues express at least two types of cannabinoid receptor, CB1 and CB2, both G protein coupled. CB1 receptors are expressed predominantly at nerve terminals where they mediate inhibition of transmitter release. CB2 receptors are found mainly on immune cells, one of their roles being to modulate cytokine release. Endogenous ligands for these receptors (endocannabinoids) also exist. Th...
متن کاملEffect of Cannabinoid Receptor Activation on Spreading Depression
Objective(s) The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cannabinoid on cortical spreading depression (CSD) in rat brain. Cannabis has been used for centuries for both symptomatic and prophylactic treatment of different types of headaches including migraine. CSD is believed to be a putative neuronal mechanism underlying migraine aura and subsequent pain. Materials and Methods T...
متن کاملCharacterization of the pharmacology of imidazolidinedione derivatives at cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors.
The pharmacology of 3-(2-ethylmorpholino)-5,5'-di(p-bromophenyl)-imidazolidinedione (DML20), 3-(1-hydroxypropyl)-5,5'-di(p-bromophenyl)-imidazolidinedione (DML21) and 3-heptyl-5,5'-di(p-bromophenyl)-imidazolidinedione (DML23) was extended by studying affinity and GTP binding modulation on cannabinoid receptor subtypes (CB1 and CB2) from rat tissues and human cannabinoid receptors expressed in C...
متن کاملSynthetic Cannabinoid Receptor Agonists and Antagonists: Implication in CNS Disorders.
BACKGROUND Since the discovery of the cannabinoid receptors, numerous studies associate the endocannabinoid system with several physiological and pathological processes including cancer, appetite, fertility, memory, neuropathic and inflammatory pain, obesity, and neurodegenerative diseases. Over the last two decades, several researches have been dedicated extensively on the cannabinoid receptor...
