Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid known for its beneficial effects including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, CBD compound with antidepressant, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant antipsychotic effects. Thanks to all these properties, the interest of scientific community it has grown. Indeed, great candidate management neurological diseases. The purpose our review summarize in vitro vivo studies published last 15 years that describe biochemical molecular mechanisms underlying therapeutic application exerts neuroprotective through three G protein coupled-receptors (adenosine receptor subtype 2A, serotonin 1A protein-coupled 55), one ligand-gated ion channel (transient potential vanilloid channel-1) nuclear factor (peroxisome proliferator-activated γ). therapeutical properties are also due GABAergic modulation. In conclusion, CBD, multi-target mechanisms, represents valid tool epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis Parkinson's disease.

Positive effect of some cannabinoids in the treatment and prophylaxis a wide variety oxidation-associated diseases growing popularity supplements containing cannabinoids, mainly cannabinoid oils (e.g. CBD oil, CBG oil), self-medication humans cause interest antioxidant properties these compounds, especially those not showing psychotropic effects. Herein, we report activity cannabigerol (CBG), cannabidiol (CBD), Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), cannabinolic (CBDA) Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolic (Δ9-THCA) estimated by spectrophotometric methods: ABTS, DPPH, ORAC, beta-carotene CUPRAC FRAP. The presented data prove that all examined exhibit manifested their ability to scavenge free radicals, prevent oxidation process reduce metal ions. Although intensity activities is same for individual it comparable them with E vitamin.

For thousands of years, Cannabis sativa has been utilized as a medicine and for recreational spiritual purposes. Phytocannabinoids are family compounds that found in the cannabis plant, which is known its psychotogenic euphoric effects; main psychotropic constituent Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC). The pharmacological effects cannabinoids result interactions between those cannabinoid receptors, CB1 CB2, located many parts human body. used therapeutic agent treating pain emesis. Some clinically applied chronic pain, particularly cancer multiple sclerosis-associated appetite stimulation anti-emesis HIV/AIDS patients, spasticity treatment sclerosis epilepsy patients. Medical varies from chemical content THC cannabidiol (CBD), modes administration, safety. Despite cannabis, exposure to high concentrations THC, compound responsible most intoxicating experienced by users, could lead psychological events adverse affect almost all body systems, such neurological (dizziness, drowsiness, seizures, coma, others), ophthalmological (mydriasis conjunctival hyperemia), cardiovascular (tachycardia arterial hypertension), gastrointestinal (nausea, vomiting, thirst), mainly associated with use. toxicity children more concerning can cause serious acute symptoms (stupor), lethargy, even coma. More countries legalizing commercial production sale medicinal use, some use well. Liberalization laws led increased incidence toxicity, hyperemesis syndrome, lung disease disease, reduced fertility, tolerance, dependence prolonged This review focuses on potential cannabinoids, well toxic various systems.
