Newest firstMonoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a key enzyme at the interface between the endocannabinoid system and lipid metabolism, playing a pivotal role in the hydrolysis of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol and in the regulation of lipid mediators involved in inflammation, pain, neurodegeneration and cancer. Owing to its therapeutic relevance, MAGL has emerged as an attractive pharmacological target, stimulating…
Open article record in new tab ↗Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a key serine hydrolase involved in lipid metabolism, catalyzing the hydrolysis of monoacylglycerols into free fatty acids and glycerol. MAGL plays a central role in regulating endocannabinoid signaling and lipid homeostasis, processes often dysregulated in cancer and other pathological conditions. In recent years, MAGL has emerged as a promising therapeutic target, particularly in…
A growing body of evidence underlines the crucial role of GPR55 in physiological and pathological conditions. In fact, GPR55 has recently emerged as a therapeutic target for several diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders. Several lines of evidence highlight GPR55's involvement in the regulation of microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, although the exact molecular mechanism has not…
Preclinical studies highlighted that compounds targeting cannabinoid receptors could be useful for developing novel therapies against neurodegenerative disorders. However, the chronic use of orthosteric agonists alone has several disadvantages, limiting their usefulness as clinically relevant drugs. Positive allosteric modulators might represent a promising approach to achieve the potential therapeutic benefits of…
Recent findings highlight the emerging role of the endocannabinoid system in the control of symptoms and disease progression in multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic, immune-mediated, demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system with no cure so far. It is widely reported in the literature that cannabinoids might be used to control MS symptoms and that they also might exert neuroprotective effects and sl…
