Synopsis
- Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive constituent of Cannabis sativa L (Marijuana) plant.
- Other Marijuana compounds includes Cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabinol (CBN), and Cannabigerol (CBG).
- Cannabis-derived cannabinoids are known as phytocannabinoids.
- THC stimulate anandamide biosynthesis by binding to the CB1 receptor, thus producing a antidepressant and neuroprotective effect. PMID PMID
Anticholinergic properties of THC
- THC inhibit anticholinesterase (AChE) induced beta-amyloid aggregation in Alzheimer's disease: PMID
- THC as antiglutamatergic therapy for AChE induced neurotoxicity: PMID PMID PMID
- Unlike THC, caffeine is a noncompetitive reversible inhibitor of AChE
Proneurogenic effect of THC on neurogenesis
- Regulation of stress-induced neuroinflammation in the hippocampus.
- Hippocampal neurogenesis is enhanced. PMID PMID
- CB1 activation promote neuronal cell proliferation, differentiation, maturation, and neurite growth. PMID
Experimental
- Synaptogenic effect of Δ9-THC/DHEA ligands promote hippocampal development.
- Δ9-THC/DHEA ligands (synaptamide) affect neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PC) proliferation in the hippocampus.
