Newest firstSynthetic cannabinoids (SC) target the human cannabinoid receptor 1 (hCB1) and are extensively metabolized, but the metabolite activity on the hCB1 receptor after a SC intake is largely unknown. In this study we compared the in vitro hCB1 receptor activity of 26 metabolites of the synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRA) JWH-018, AM-2201, THJ-018 and THJ-2201 as a model system for SC metabolite activity to e…
Open article record in new tab ↗Several essential physiological systems express voltage-gated potassium channels within the KV7 family (comprising KV7.1-7.5), sometimes also co-assembled with auxiliary subunits in the KCNE family (comprising KCNE1-5). An ongoing challenge to KV7 drug development is creating subtype-selective compounds to limit adverse effects. Prior work has shown that the antiepileptic cannabidiol (CBD), a pan-KV7 modulator, in…
Open article record in new tab ↗Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. NAFLD encompasses a spectrum of liver damage starting with liver steatosis and lipid disorders presented as the hallmark. Cannabinoid-2 receptor (CB2R) is the receptor of endocannabinoids mainly expressed in immune cells. Our preliminary study revealed the preventative role of CB2R in liver injury related to lipid met…
