Newest firstThe prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM) patients remains dismal due to chemoresistance. Repurposing of natural and endogenous compounds, such as the pineal hormone melatonin (MLT) and minor phytocannabinoids like cannabinol (CBN) or cannabigerol (CBG), represents a promising strategy. This study investigates the cytotoxic potential of combining these phytocannabinoids with MLT, evaluating their efficacy both alone and…
Open article record in new tab ↗The re-emergence of monkeypox virus (MPXV) as a global public health concern highlights the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies targeting viral proteins essential for infection. This study investigates the inhibitory potential of Trans-Cannabitriol (trans-CBT), a minor cannabinoid, against MPXV proteins L1R, H3L, and E8L using an integrative in silico framework. Homology modeling was employed to generate…
Dermatological diseases pose a significant burden on the quality of life of individuals and can be challenging to treat effectively. In this aspect, cannabinoids are gaining increasing importance due to their therapeutic potential in various disease entities including skin diseases. In this synthetic review, we comprehensively analyzed the existing literature in the field of potential dermatological applications o…
Open article record in new tab ↗Despite the very large number of phytocannabinoids isolated from Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.), bioactivity studies have long remained focused on the so called "Big Four" [Δ9-THC (1), CBD (2), CBG (3) and CBC (4)] because of their earlier characterization and relatively easy availability via isolation and/or synthesis. Bioactivity information on the chemical space associated with the remaining part of the cannabin…
Cannabis sativa (C. sativa) is commonly chemically classified based on its Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) content ratios. However, the plant contains nearly 150 additional cannabinoids, referred to as minor cannabinoids. Minor cannabinoids are gaining interest for improved plant and product characterization, e.g., for medical use, and bioanalytical questions in the medico-legal field. This stu…
The replication of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is mediated by its main protease (Mpro), which is a plausible therapeutic target for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although numerous in silico studies reported the potential inhibitory effects of natural products including cannabis and cannabinoids on SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, their anti-Mpro activities are not well validated by biol…
The medicinal use of Cannabis sativa L. can be traced back thousands of years to ancient China and Egypt. While marijuana has recently shown promise in managing chronic pain and nausea, scientific investigation of cannabis has been restricted due its classification as a schedule 1 controlled substance. A major breakthrough in understanding the pharmacology of cannabis came with the isolation and characterization o…
