Protective effect of cannabinoid type 2 receptor agonist (JWH‐133) against hepatotoxicity induced by Prangos ferulacea Lindl. extract

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated Prangos ferulacea (PF)‐induced hepatotoxicity, its potential association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and proinflammatory cytokines, and the effect of the cannabinoid type 2 receptor agonist JWH‐133. Rats (n = 37) were divided into four groups: control–sham group (CSG, n = 9), PF extract group (PG, n = 9), PF ...

Purification and characterization of heterologously produced cannabinoid receptor 1 and G proteins [PDF]

, 2007
G protein coupled receptors form the largest group of transmembrane proteins, which are involved in signal transduction and are targeted directly or indirectly by 40-50% of the drugs in the market.

R-flurbiprofen reduces neuropathic pain in rodents by restoring endogenous cannabinoids [PDF]

, 2010
Background: R-flurbiprofen, one of the enantiomers of flurbiprofen racemate, is inactive with respect to cyclooxygenase inhibition, but shows analgesic properties without relevant toxicity. Its mode of action is still unclear.

CB1 and CB2 Receptor Expression in Type 1 Diabetic Neuropathic Rats Is Enhanced by Photobiomodulation Therapy

Photonics
Background: The interaction between the endocannabinoid system (ECS), specifically the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, and neuropathy has aroused great research interest due to the possible implications for treatment.

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 ...

Antidepressant-Like Effect of Terpineol in an Inflammatory Model of Depression: Involvement of the Cannabinoid System and D2 Dopamine Receptor

Biomolecules, 2020
Depression has a multifactorial etiology that arises from environmental, psychological, genetic, and biological factors. Environmental stress and genetic factors acting through immunological and endocrine responses generate structural and functional ...

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 ...

Structural insights into cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2: determinants of ligand selectivity

Frontiers in Chemical Biology
Cannabinoid receptors 1 (CB1) and 2 (CB2) are key components of the endocannabinoid system and play central roles in regulating diverse physiological processes, including neural signaling, immune modulation, and inflammation. Both receptors belong to the

Toxicological properties of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol

Arhiv za Higijenu Rada i Toksikologiju, 2020
Cannabis sativa L. contains more than 100 phytocannabinoids that can interact with cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. None of the cannabinoid receptor ligands is entirely CB1- or CB2-specific. The effects of cannabinoids therefore differ not just because

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 ...
