  • Cannabinoids and Endocannabinoid System Changes in Intestinal Inflammation and Colorectal Cancer
    cancers Review Cannabinoids and Endocannabinoid System Changes in Intestinal Inflammation and Colorectal Cancer Viktoriia Cherkasova, Olga Kovalchuk * and Igor Kovalchuk * Department of Biological Sciences, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, AB T1K 7X8, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (O.K.); [email protected] (I.K.) Simple Summary: In recent years, multiple preclinical studies have shown that changes in endo- cannabinoid system signaling may have various effects on intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer. However, not all tumors can respond to cannabinoid therapy in the same manner. Given that colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease with different genomic landscapes, experiments with cannabinoids should involve different molecular subtypes, emerging mutations, and various stages of the disease. We hope that this review can help researchers form a comprehensive understanding of cannabinoid interactions in colorectal cancer and intestinal bowel diseases. We believe that selecting a particular experimental model based on the disease’s genetic landscape is a crucial step in the drug discovery, which eventually may tremendously benefit patient’s treatment outcomes and bring us one step closer to individualized medicine. Abstract: Despite the multiple preventive measures and treatment options, colorectal cancer holds a significant place in the world’s disease and mortality rates. The development of novel therapy is in Citation: Cherkasova, V.; Kovalchuk, critical need, and based on recent experimental data, cannabinoids could become excellent candidates. O.; Kovalchuk, I.

Effects of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor allosteric modulator ORG 27569 on reinstatement of cocaine- and methamphetamine- seeking behavior in rats* Li Jinga,b, Yanyan Qiua, Yanan Zhangc, and Jun-Xu Lia aDepartment of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, USA bDepartment of Physiology and Pathophysiology, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China cResearch Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA Abstract Background—Cannabinoid CB1 receptors play an essential role in drug addiction. Given the side effect profiles of orthosteric CB1 antagonism, new strategies have been attempted to modulate this target, such as CB1 receptor allosteric modulation. However, the effect of CB1 allosteric modulation in drug addiction is unknown. The present study examined the effects of the CB1 receptor allosteric modulator ORG27569 on the reinstatement of cocaine- and methamphetamine- seeking behavior in rats. Methods—Rats were trained to self-administer 0.75 mg/kg cocaine or 0.05 mg/kg methamphetamine in 2-hr daily sessions for 14 days which was followed by 7 days of extinction sessions in which rats responded on the levers with no programmed consequences. On reinstatement test sessions, rats were administered ORG27569 (1.0, 3.2, 5.6 mg/kg, i.p.) or SR141716A (3.2 mg/kg, i.p.) 10 min prior to re-exposure to cocaine- or methamphetamine-paired cues or a priming injection of cocaine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) or methamphetamine (1 mg/kg, i.p.).

  • Cannabinoid Receptor Cannabinoid Receptor
    Cannabinoid Receptor Cannabinoid Receptor Cannabinoid receptors are currently classified into three groups: central (CB1), peripheral (CB2) and GPR55, all of which are G-protein-coupled. CB1 receptors are primarily located at central and peripheral nerve terminals. CB2 receptors are predominantly expressed in non-neuronal tissues, particularly immune cells, where they modulate cytokine release and cell migration. Recent reports have suggested that CB2 receptors may also be expressed in the CNS. GPR55 receptors are non-CB1/CB2 receptors that exhibit affinity for endogenous, plant and synthetic cannabinoids. Endogenous ligands for cannabinoid receptors have been discovered, including anandamide and 2-arachidonylglycerol. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Cannabinoid Receptor Antagonists, Agonists, Inhibitors, Modulators & Activators (S)-MRI-1867 (±)-Ibipinabant Cat.

However, therapeutic applications of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other CB1 orthosteric receptor agonists remain limited because of psychoactive side effects. Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) offer an alternative approach to enhance CB1 receptor function for therapeutic gain with the promise of reduced side effects. Here we describe the development of the novel synthetic CB1 PAM, 6-methyl-3-(2-nitro-1-(thiophen-2-yl)ethyl)-2- phenyl-1H-indole (ZCZ011), which augments the in vitro and in vivo pharmacological actions of the CB1 orthosteric agonists CP55,940 and N-arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA). ZCZ011 3 potentiated binding of [ H]CP55,940 to the CB1 receptor as well as enhancing AEA-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding in mouse brain membranes and β-arrestin recruitment and ERK phosphorylation in hCB1 cells.

    North West ‘Through the Gate Substance Misuse Services’ Drug Testing Project Appendix 2 – Analytical methodologies Overview Urine samples were analysed using three methodologies. The first methodology (General Screen) was designed to cover a wide range of analytes (drugs) and was used for all analytes other than the synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs). The analyte coverage included a broad range of commonly prescribed drugs including over the counter medications, commonly misused drugs and metabolites of many of the compounds too. This approach provided a very powerful drug screening tool to investigate drug use/misuse before and whilst in prison. The second methodology (SCRA Screen) was specifically designed for SCRAs and targets only those compounds. This was a very sensitive methodology with a method capability of sub 100pg/ml for over 600 SCRAs and their metabolites. Both methodologies utilised full scan high resolution accurate mass LCMS technologies that allowed a non-targeted approach to data acquisition and the ability to retrospectively review data. The non-targeted approach to data acquisition effectively means that the analyte coverage of the data acquisition was unlimited. The only limiting factors were related to the chemical nature of the analyte being looked for. The analyte must extract in the sample preparation process; it must chromatograph and it must ionise under the conditions used by the mass spectrometer interface. The final limiting factor was presence in the data processing database. The subsequent study of negative MDT samples across the North West and London and the South East used a GCMS methodology for anabolic steroids in addition to the General and SCRA screens.

Human cutaneous melanoma is an aggressive and chemotherapy resistant type of cancer. AM251 is a cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor antagonist/inverse agonist with off-target antitumor activity against pancreatic and colon cancer cells. The current study is aimed at characterizing the in vitro anti-melanoma activity of AM251. Methods. The BRAF V600E mutant melanoma cell line, A375, was used as an in vitro model system. Characterization tools included cell viability assay, nuclear morphology assessment, gene expression, western blot, flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/ 7-AAD double staining, cell cycle analyses, measurements of changes in intracellular cAMP and calcium concentrations. Results. AM251 exerted a remarkable cytotoxic effect against A375 human melanoma cells with potency comparable to that observed for cisplatin without significant changes on the human dermal fibroblasts viability.
