Sodium channel blockers are also used as local anesthetics and anticonvulsants. [5] Sodium channel blockers have been proposed for use in the treatment of cystic fibrosis, [6] but current evidence is mixed. [7] It has been suggested that the analgesic effects of some antidepressants may be mediated in part via sodium channel blockade. [8]
In vitro, CBG has identified pharmacodynamic actions and its mechanism of action appears to be from interactions with multiple targets. [1] [2] [3]CBG is a weak ligand of the cannabinoid CB 1 and CB 2 receptors with affinities (K i) of 380–2,600 nM and 153–3,460 nM, respectively.
[26] [27] [28] The most common adverse effects in Phase III trials were dizziness (25%), drowsiness (8%) and disorientation (4%); 12% of subjects stopped taking the drug because of the side effects. No investigations regarding the potential for dependence are available, but such a potential is unlikely considering the pharmacological properties ...
[1] [2] Cannabidiol (CBD), a naturally occurring cannabinoid and a non-competitive CB 1 /CB 2 receptor antagonist, as well as Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), a naturally occurring cannabinoid, modulate the effects of THC via direct blockade of cannabinoid CB 1 receptors, thus behaving like first-generation CB 1 receptor inverse agonists ...
The anticonvulsant effects provided by cannabidiol (Epidiolex) in people with certain forms of epilepsy do not appear to involve cannabinoid receptors. [4] A possible mechanism for the effects of cannabidiol on seizures is by affecting the neuronal movement of calcium in brain structures involved in the excessive electrical activity of seizures ...
Acute effects while under the influence can sometimes include euphoria or anxiety. [4] [5] Although some assert that cannabidiol (CBD), another cannabinoid found in cannabis in varying amounts, may alleviate the adverse effects of THC that some users experience, [6] little is known about CBD's effects on humans.
The study, which involved 106 peri- and postmenopausal women and was presented at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in May, indicates women should self-monitor their vasomotor symptoms and ...
Over time, the marijuana gateway hypothesis has been studied more and more. In one published study, the use of marijuana was shown not a reliable gateway cause of illicit drug use. [67] However, social factors and environment influence drug use and abuse, making the gateway effects of cannabis different for those in differing social circumstances.
