Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...

Discovery of High-Affinity Cannabinoid Receptors Ligands through a 3D-QSAR Ushered by Scaffold-Hopping Analysis

Molecules, 2018
Two 3D quantitative structure–activity relationships (3D-QSAR) models for predicting Cannabinoid receptor 1 and 2 (CB1 and CB2) ligands have been produced by way of creating a practical tool for the drug-design and optimization of CB1 and CB2 ...

Δ9 Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabis extracts differentially improve adipoinsular dysfunction in diet‐induced obesity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend THC and extract administered to diet‐induced obese mice reduced body weight and fat storage. Extract, but not THC, improved glucose clearance by a mechanism that may include restoring adipoinsular function. Abstract Diet‐induced obesity (DIO) is associated with dysregulated adipoinsular axis and endocannabinoid system (eCBS ...

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2265-2278, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

β‐Caryophyllene Mitigates Thioacetamide‐Induced Liver Fibrosis Through CB2‐Mediated Suppression of Necroptosis: A Therapeutic Investigation

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2026.
β‐Caryophyllene is a multifunctional sesquiterpene with significant therapeutic potential. Our findings demonstrate that β‐caryophyllene exerts broad hepatoprotective effects through the activation of cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptors. These effects include suppression of oxidative stress–induced injury, attenuation of inflammatory responses ...

(+)‐Trans‐Cannabidiol Is an Agonist at Human CB2 Receptors

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT (−)‐trans‐Cannabidiol ((−)‐CBD) is a principal phytocannabinoid from Cannabis sativa. (−)‐CBD has complex pharmacology but is a relatively weak inhibitor of CB1 and CB2 receptor signaling. Cannabidiol has two chiral centres and thus four stereoisomers.

Cannabinoid CB1 allosteric ligands suppress inflammatory pain in male mice without tolerance, motor impairment, memory deficits or respiratory depression

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 20, Page 6132-6153, October 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) engage sites distinct from the orthosteric CB1 cannabinoid receptor binding site. GAT211, a racemic ligand, contains GAT228 (R) and GAT229 (S) enantiomers. Whether enantiomer‐mediated differences in allosteric activation or positive allosteric modulation translate into differences in

Structure‐Guided Optimization of PDE9A Inhibitors Tackling Neuroinflammation: A Combined Computational and In Vitro Study

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 17, 14 September 2026.
Computational studies allowed the identification of a PDE9A inhibitor. A novel HPLC‐based assay was developed and optimized to measure enzyme function to assess PDE9A inhibition. Furthermore, in vitro tests supported the activity of the compound against neuroinflammation. Oxidative stress and inflammation are key players in central nervous system (CNS)

Unprecedented 4/7 Bicyclic Carbon Skeleton Sesquiterpenoids With Anti‐Inflammatory Activities Isolated From the Root of Lindera glauca

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Glasesquiterpenoid A (1) with an unprecedented 4/7 bicyclic carbon skeleton was the first example reported in the class of sesquiterpenoids. ABSTRACT Six new sesquiterpenoids glasesquiterpenoids A−F (1−6), together with two known ones, 7 and 8, were coisolated from the root of Lindera glauca.

Cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptors activation protects against oxidative stress and neuroinflammation associated dopaminergic neurodegeneration in rotenone model of Parkinson’s disease

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
The cannabinoid type two receptors (CB2), an important component of the endocannabinoid system, have recently emerged as neuromodulators and therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD).
