Newest firstActivation of cannabinoid CB1 receptors (CB1R) by agonists induces analgesia but also induces cognitive impairment through the heteromer formed between CB1R and the serotonin 5HT2A receptor (5HT2AR). This side effect poses a serious drawback in the therapeutic use of cannabis for pain alleviation. Peptides designed from the transmembrane helices of CB1R, which are predicted to bind 5HT2AR and alter the stability o…
Open article record in new tab ↗The activation of cannabinoid CB1 receptors (CB1R) by Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main component of Cannabis sativa, induces analgesia. CB1R activation, however, also causes cognitive impairment via the serotonin 5HT2A receptor (5HT2AR), a component of a CB1R-5HT2AR heteromer, posing a serious drawback for cannabinoid therapeutic use. We have shown that peptides reproducing CB1R transmembrane (TM) helices 5…
