Cannabis sativa L. contains numerous compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, including the flavonoids cannabinoids, particularly Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabinoids have an effect on endocannabinoid system (ECS), a cellular communication network, are, hence, widely studied for medical applications. Epidiolex®, 99% pure oral CBD extract, has been approved by FDA treatment of epilepsy. Nabiximols (Sativex) is oromucosal spray containing equal volume THC CBD, it commonly used as add-on unresponsive spasticity in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Several vitro vivo studies also shown that cannabinoids can be to treat various types cancer, such melanoma brain glioblastoma; first positive clinical trials anticancer THC:CBD blend temozolomide (TMZ) highly invasive cancer are very promising.
