Биологическая активность

Non-psychotropic constituent of cannabis that is anticonvulsive, antihyperalgesic and neuroprotective in vivo . GPR55 and weak CB 1 antagonist (IC 50 values are 0.445 and 3.35 μ M), CB 2 receptor inverse agonist and inhibitor of anandamide uptake (IC 50 = 27.5 μ M). Also a weak agonist at VR1 vanilloid receptors (EC 50 = 3.5 μ M).

Фармаколо?гия

Cannabidiol, a constituent of the cannabis plant, has been receiving considerable attention of late for its potential therapeutic utility, including potential anxiolytic, anticonvulsant,anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. Cannabidiol has a complex pharmacology. In contrast to THC, cannabidiol has minimal affinity for CB1 and CB2 receptors and produces no intoxication. The effects of cannabidiol in combination with THC have been mixed, with some data suggesting it may reduce THC’s mood-altering and cognitive effects, while others show no effect. If oral cannabidiol reduces cannabis intoxication, it could be a potential medication to treat CUD. However, Haney et al. tested a range of cannabidiol doses (200–800 mg) in combination with active and placebo cannabis and found no cannabidiol effect on the subjective, reinforcing, or cardiovascular effects of smoked cannabis, providing little support for cannabidiol’s utility as a medication to reduce cannabis’ positive reinforcing and subjective effects.
