“…Ongoing research on CIMPs as antimicrobial agents has been largely predicated by, primarily, Eastern European literature from the mid-twentieth century [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. There have been a number of recent reviews published that highlight the potential of CIMPs as novel anti-microbial agents [ 8 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. With this recent revitalization of the field, the purpose of the present article, then, is (a) to update and augment the rapidly expanding literature, with a particular focus on the most recent developments; (b) to compare variant CIMP antimicrobial activities, where quantified; (c) to address specific mechanisms of CIMP–microbe interactions in greater depth; (d) to highlight the many major knowledge gaps alongside barriers to translation; (e) to discuss the potent antimicrobial activities of some CB2 receptor agonists which should be considered when designing therapeutic treatments for neurocognitive disorders; and, particularly, (f) that non-microbicidal CB2 agonists could be preferentially designed, engineered and utilized for long-term anti-neuropathic purposes, where appropriate.…”
