Anticonvulsant effect of cannabidiol in the pentylenetetrazole model: Pharmacological mechanisms, electroencephalographic profile, and brain cytokine levels.

TL;DR: The robust anticonvulsant effects of CBD may result from multiple pharmacological mechanisms, including facilitation of endocannabinoid signaling and TRPV1 mechanisms, with potential implications for the development of new treatments for certain epileptic syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroprotective effects of the anticancer drug NVP-BEZ235 (dactolisib) on amyloid-β 1–42 induced neurotoxicity and memory impairment

TL;DR: In cell cultures, BEZ reduced neuronal death induced by Aβ and increased IL-10 and TNF-α levels in the hippocampus, and did not change the phosphorylation of Akt and p70s6K, suggesting that the involvement of PI3K and mTOR in the effects induced by BEZ remains controversial.
