Effect of rimonabant on oesophageal motor function in man
BACKGROUND: Cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptors are implicated in the control of transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs) in animals. In man, it is unclear whether CB1 receptors are involved in the control of oesophageal function.

Role of the endogenous cannabinoid system in nicotine addiction: novel insights
Several lines of evidence have shown that the endogenous cannabinoids are implicated in several neuropsychiatric diseases. Notably, preclinical and human clinical studies have shown a pivotal role of the cannabinoid system in nicotine addiction.

Cannabinoid type I receptor antagonists (rimonabant) for smoking cessation [PDF]
Rimonabant is a selective type 1 cannabinoid ( CB1) receptor antagonist. It may assist with smoking cessation by restoring the balance of the endocannabinoid system, which can be disrupted by prolonged use of nicotine.

Metalloids: Semi as Metals yet Full of Antimicrobial Potential
Metalloids such as boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and tellurium (Te) bridge metals and non‐metals, displaying unique chemical versatility. Recent research highlights their diverse antimicrobial and therapeutic potentials, from natural products to synthetic organic and organometallic molcules, underscoring renewed ...

Antidepressant-like effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol and rimonabant in the olfactory bulbectomised rat model of depression [PDF]
The endocannabinoid signalling system is widely accepted to play a role in controlling the affective state. Plant cannabinoids are well known to have behavioural effects in animals and humans and the cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist rimonabant has ...
