Medicinal cannabis – Potential Drug Interactions, M.A. Alsherbiny, C. Guang Li, décembre 2018

Medicinal cannabis - Potential Drug Interactions M.A. Alsherbiny, C. Guang Li, décembre 2018. www.preprints.org,  doi:10.20944/preprints201812.0032.v1   https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329559938_Medicinal_Cannabis_-_Potential_Drug_Interactions   Endocannabinoids system (ECS) engrossed a considerable interest as potential therapeutic targets in various carcinomas and cancer related conditions alongside with neurodegenerative diseases. Cannabinoids are implemented in several physiological processes such as appetite stimulation, energy balance, pain modulation and the control of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). However, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics interactions could be perceived in drug combinations, so in this short review we tried to shed the light over the potential drug interactions of medicinal cannabis. Hitherto, few data have been provided to the healthcare practitioners about [...]

Les méta-analyses et le cannabis, ou la négation du savoir clinique, 21 Septembre 2011, Dr. Christian Sueur,

Les méta-analyses et le cannabis, ou la négation du savoir clinique 21 Septembre 2011 Dr. Christian Sueur, Psychiatre, praticien hospitalier http://tdme.free.fr/?p=2730#annot8   A l’ère des méta-analyses, la clinique psychiatrique bat de l’aile…., Ce que l’on peut lire aujourd’hui sur les « dangers du cannabis » fournit un exemple étonnant de cette perte du savoir clinique. Et pourtant, bien des « méta-analystes » qui parfois, n’ont jamais vu un patient, sans vergogne, « disent le vrai », et emportent l’opinion avec eux, opinion et journalistes qui se font l’écho de ses assertions, sans même émettre la moindre critique vis-à-vis de ces « chiffres » érigés en « [...]

Antidepressive-like effect induced by Cannabidiol is dependent on brain serotonine levels, A.J. Sales et al., 2018

Antidépresseur-like effect induced by Cannabidiol is dependent on brain serotonin levels. A.J. Sales, C. C. Crestani, F. S. Guimaraes, S. R.L. Joca, Progress in Neuropsychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry, 2018 Aug 30; 86: 255-261. Doi: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2018.06.002 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29885468 PMID : 29885468 Abstract Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound of Cannabis sativa with relevant therapeutic potential in several neuropsychiatric disorders including depression. CBD treatment has shown significant antidepressant-like effects in different rodent preclinical models. However, the mechanisms involved in CBD-induced antidepressant effects are still poorly understood. Therefore, this work aimed at investigating the participation of serotonin (5-HT) and/or noradrenaline (NA) in CBD-induced antidepressant-like effects in [...]

Cannabis and the Anxiety of Fragmentation – A Systems Approach for Finding an Anxiolytic Cannabis Chemotype, B. S. Kamal et al., 2018

Cannabis and the Anxiety of Fragmentation - A Systems Approach for Finding an Anxiolytic Cannabis Chemotype, B. S. Kamal, F. Kamal, D. E. Lantela, Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018, 12, article 730. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2018.00730   Abstract : Cannabis sativa is a medicinal herb with a diverse range of chemotypes that can exert both anxiolytic and anxiogenic effects on humans. Medical cannabis patients receiving organically grown cannabis from a single source were surveyed about the effectiveness of cannabis for treating anxiety. Patients rated cannabis as highly effective overall for treating anxiety with an average score of 8.03 on a Likert scale of 0 to 10 (0 = not effective, [...]

The endocannabinoid system as a target for novel anxiolytic drugs, S. Patel et al., 2017

The endocannabinoid system as a target for novel anxiolytic drugs S. Patel, M.N. Hill, J.F. Cheer, C.T. Wotjak, A. Holmes, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2017, 76, 56-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2016.12.033 Abstract The endocannabinoid (eCB) system has attracted attention for its role in various behavioral and brain functions, and as a therapeutic target in neuropsychiatric disease states, including anxiety disorders and other conditions resulting from dysfunctional responses to stress. In this mini-review, we highlight components of the eCB system that offer potential ‘druggable’ targets for new anxiolytic medications, emphasizing some of the less well-discussed options. We discuss how selectively amplifying eCBs recruitment by interfering with eCB-degradation, via fatty [...]

Adverse effects of medical cannabinoids : a systematic review, T. Wang et al., 2008

Adverse effects of medical cannabinoids : a systematic review T. Wang, J-P. Collet, S. Shapiro, M.A. Ware, Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2008,178,13, 1669-1678 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2413308/pdf/20080617s00017p1669.pdf   Abstract Background : The therapeutic use of cannabis and cannabisbased medicines raises safety concerns for patients, clinicians, policy-makers, insurers, researchers and regulators. Although the efficacy of cannabinoids is being increasingly demonstrated in randomized controlled trials, most safety information comes from studies of recreational use. Methods : We performed a systematic review of safety studies of medical cannabinoids published over the past 40 years to create an evidence base for cannabis-related adverse events and to facilitate future cannabis research initiatives. We critically evaluated [...]
