Cannabinoids for treating inflammatory bowel diseases: where are we and where do we go?

ABSTRACT Experimental evidence gathered from preclinical IBD models and conducted in rodents point to a strong potential of the ECS components to serve as drug targets in inflammatory diseases of the intestine. Data suggest a homeostatic role of the ECS in the gut. Accordingly, it is believed that the enhancement of endocannabinoid signaling, as observed …

Cannabinoids as novel anti-inflammatory drugs

ABSTRACT Cannabinoids have been shown to regulate the tissue response to excessive inflammation in the colon, mediated by both dampening smooth-muscular irritation caused by inflammation and suppressing proinflammatory cytokines, thus controlling the cellular pathways leading to inflammatory responses. These results strongly suggest that modulation of the physiological activity of the cannabinoid system during colonic inflammation …

Transdermal cannabidiol reduces inflammation and pain-related behaviours in a rat model of arthritis

ABSTRACT These studies demonstrate transdermal administration of CBD has long-lasting therapeutic effects without psychoactive side-effects. Thus, use of topical CBD has potential as effective treatment of arthritic symptomatology. At present, one in five (21%) adults worldwide are diagnosed with some form of arthritis by their physicians (Helmick et al., 2008). The data presented suggest transdermal …

Attenuation of early phase inflammation by cannabidiol prevents pain and nerve damage in rat osteoarthritis

ABSTRACT This study showed for the first time that local CBD administration inhibited pain and peripheral sensitisation in established OA. Topical treatment with CBD reduced leukocyte trafficking and joint hyperaemia during the early stages of MIA. By attenuating this initial inflammatory response with CBD, end-stage OA pain and peripheral neuropathy were abrogated. Thus, CBD may …
