Structural basis of selective cannabinoid CB2 receptor activation
Nature Communications, 2023 Cannabinoid CB2 receptor (CB2R) agonists are investigated as therapeutic agents in the clinic. Here, authors report the discovery of LEI-102, a CB2R agonist, used in conjunction with three other CBR ligands (APD371, HU308, and CP55,940) to investigate ...

Cells, 2021 The endocannabinoid (eCB) system has been found in all visual parts of the central ner-vous system and plays a role in the processing of visual information in many species, including monkeys and humans. Using anatomical methods, cannabinoid receptors are

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012 Cannabinoid agonists impair hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. Using mouse hippocampal slice preparations, we examined the effect of anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid, on sharp wave–ripple (SW-R) complexes, which are believed to mediate ...

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 In recent years, the cannabinoid type 2 receptor (CB2R) has become a major target for treating many disease conditions. The old therapeutic paradigm of “one disease-one target-one drug” is being transformed to “complex disease-many targets-one drug ...

Impaired Excitatory Neurotransmission in the Urinary Bladder from the Obese Zucker Rat: Role of Cannabinoid Receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a known risk factor for lower urinary tract symptoms. This study investigates whether functional and expression changes of cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors are involved in the bladder dysfunction in an obese rat model with ...

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Acutely, non-selective cannabinoid (CB) agonists have been shown to increase morphine antinociceptive effects, and we and others have also demonstrated that non-selective CB agonists attenuate morphine antinociceptive tolerance. Activation of cannabinoid

Cannabinoid agonists inhibit neuropathic pain induced by brachial plexus avulsion in mice by affecting glial cells and MAP kinases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Many studies have shown the antinociceptive effects of cannabinoid (CB) agonists in different models of pain. Herein, we have investigated their relevance in neuropathic pain induced by brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) in mice.Mice underwent BPA or sham ...

Cannabinoids reduce markers of inflammation and fibrosis in pancreatic stellate cells.
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundWhile cannabinoids have been shown to ameliorate liver fibrosis, their effects in chronic pancreatitis and on pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) are unknown.Methodology/principal findingsThe activity of the endocannabinoid system was evaluated in ...

The cannabinoid 1 receptor (CNR1) 1359 G/A polymorphism modulates susceptibility to ulcerative colitis and the phenotype in Crohn's disease. [PDF]
, 2010 Recent evidence suggests a crucial role of the endocannabinoid system, including the cannabinoid 1 receptor (CNR1), in intestinal inflammation. We therefore investigated the influence of the CNR1 1359 G/A (p.Thr453Thr; rs1049353) single nucleotide ...

Voltage dependence of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Cannabinoids produce their characteristic effects mainly by binding to two types of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
