<b><i>Background:</i></b> There is a growing interest in the use of cannabis (and its extracts), as well CBD oil (hemp extracts containing cannabidiol), for therapeutic purposes. While there reason to believe that cannabinoids may be efficacious number different diseases and syndromes, exist limited objective data supporting crude materials (CBD oil, extracts, and/or itself). <b><i>Summary:</i></b> In present review, we examined pure cannabinoid compounds (dronabinol, nabilone, CBD), partially purified medicinal (nabiximols), provide guidance on potential uses high-THC oil. general, support role cannabis/cannabinoids pain, seizure disorders, appetite stimulation, muscle spasticity, treatment nausea/vomiting. Given biological activities cannabinoids, utility central nervous system disorders (such neurodegenerative diseases, PTSD, addiction) or cancer.

Medical cannabis and individual cannabinoids, such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) cannabidiol (CBD), are receiving growing attention in both the media scientific literature. The Cannabis plant, however, produces over 100 different cannabigerol (CBG) serves precursor molecule for most abundant phytocannabinoids. CBG exhibits affinity activity characteristics between Δ9-THC CBD at cannabinoid receptors but appears to be unique its interactions with α-2 adrenoceptors 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT1A). Studies indicate that may have therapeutic potential treating neurologic disorders (e.g., Huntington disease, Parkinson multiple sclerosis) inflammatory bowel well having antibacterial activity. There is interest commercial use of this unregulated phytocannabinoid. This review focuses on pharmacology CBG, our current knowledge possible utility, toxicological hazards.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT

Cannabigerol currently being marketed a dietary supplement and, (CBD) before, many claims made about benefits. Unlike CBD, little research has been performed molecule, much what known warrants further investigation identify areas uses

Cannabis, renowned for its historical medicinal use, harbours various bioactive compounds—cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. While major cannabinoids like delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabidiol (CBD) have received extensive scrutiny their pharmacological properties, emerging evidence underscores the collaborative interactions among these constituents, suggesting a collective therapeutic potential. This comprehensive review explores intricate relationships synergies between cannabinoids, flavonoids in cannabis. Cannabinoids, pivotal cannabis’s bioactivity, exhibit well-documented analgesic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective effects. Terpenes, aromatic compounds imbuing distinct flavours, not only contribute to sensory profile but also modulate cannabinoid effects through diverse molecular mechanisms. Flavonoids, another cannabis component, demonstrate antioxidant, particularly relevant neuroinflammation. The entourage hypothesis posits that combined cannabinoid, terpene, flavonoid action yields synergistic or additive effects, surpassing individual compound efficacy. Recognizing nuanced is crucial unravelling complete Tailoring treatments based on holistic composition of strains allows optimization outcomes while minimizing potential side imperative delve into roles flavonoids, offering promising prospects innovative interventions advocating continued research unlock full within realm natural plant-based medicine.

There considerable controversy about how defined. Most data remain heterogenous limited follow‐up, making it difficult ascertain whether causal, merely clinical association , or unmasks triggers symptoms patients inherently predisposed develop This article will discuss role regulation nausea vomiting, specifically focusing on both order address controversies context.
