Cannabis and Endocannabinoid Signaling in Epilepsy

Abstract: The antiepileptic potential of Cannabis sativa preparations has been historically recognized. Recent changes in legal restrictions and new well-documented cases reporting remarkably strong beneficial effects have triggered an upsurge in exploiting medical marijuana in patients with refractory epilepsy. Parallel research efforts in the last decade have uncovered the fundamental role of the endogenous cannabinoid system in controlling neuronal network excitability raising hopes for cannabinoid-based therapeutic … Show more

“…The neurobiological actions of endogenous cannabinoidlike compounds have been described from molecular to behavioral approaches (Pertwee, 2006(Pertwee, , 2015Scherma et al, 2014;Katona, 2015;Lutz et al, 2015;Manduca et al, 2015;Velasco et al, 2015;Lu and Mackie, 2016;Nikan et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2016). Since anandamide was the very first endocannabinoid described (Devane et al, 1992), it has been the focus of attention due to that it resembles the pharmacological effects of principal compound of Cannabis sativa, D 9 -THC, by behaving as a natural ligand for the CB 1 cannabinoid receptor (Console-Bram et al, 2012).…”

“…• Działanie przeciwnowotworowe (indukcja apoptozy, aktywacja kaskady kinaz RAF1/MAP, hamowanie cyklu komórkowego, prawdopodobna aktywacja kaskady kinaz RAF1/MAP, redukcja ekspresji receptorów dla czynników wzrostu prolaktyny i neurotrofiny, hamowanie angiogenezy i przerzutów, zmniejszenie biosyntezy proangiogennego czynnika wzrostu naczyń krwionośnych (vascular endothelial growth factor -VEGF) [3,9,10,18,24,37,39,40,42,46]. Endokannabinoidy pobudzają receptory CB1, co powoduje hamowanie uwalniania z zakończeń presynaptycznych głównie kwasu gamma-aminomasłowego lub glutaminianu [36,39,41,45].…”

“…Biodostępność THC i CBD zależy od ich stężenia w preparacie oraz drogi podania. Działanie CBD odbywa się przez układ endokannabinoidowy, który reguluje misterną sieć neurotrasmitterów [44] [35,37,41,46].…”
