Therapeutic and clinical foundations of cannabidiol therapy for difficult-to-treat seizures in children and adults with refractory epilepsies

TL;DR: In 2018, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the first phytocannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD, Epidiolex), which is now indicated for severe seizures associated with three rare forms of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy: Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis complex as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI

Current and future pharmacotherapy options for drug-resistant epilepsy

TL;DR: Current and future pharmacotherapy options for the treatment of drug-resistant focal and generalized epilepsies and several molecular targets including inhibition of glycolysis, neuroinflammation and sodium channel inhibition have been identified in animal models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacotherapeutic management of seizures in patients with Angleman Syndrome

TL;DR: A better understanding of the underlying pathogenesis and the development of molecular therapeutics offer hope for precision therapies for seizures and the treatment landscape may rapidly evolve due to the availability of newer and better tolerated ASMs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cannabidiol for seizures in tuberous sclerosis complex: Still more questions than answers?

TL;DR: Samanta et al. as mentioned in this paper provided a scoping review on cannabidiol therapy in tuberous sclerosis: current evidence and perspectives for future development, including clinical efficacy, safety, risk of drug interactions, knowledge gaps and future research have been thoroughly presented and discussed.

Behavioral effects induced by the cannabidiol analogs HU-502 and HU-556

TL;DR: In this paper , two cannabidiol analogs (HU-502 and HU-556) were tested in male Swiss mice submitted to the elevated plus maze (EPM), forced swimming test (FST), and amphetamine-induced-prepulse inhibition (PPI) disruption and hyperlocomotion.

The tuberous sclerosis complex.

TL;DR: From the Department of Neurology (P.P.N., K.L.C.) and the Division of Medical Genetics (K.B.H.) — both in Philadelphia.

Molecular targets for cannabidiol and its synthetic analogues: effect on vanilloid VR1 receptors and on the cellular uptake and enzymatic hydrolysis of anandamide.

TL;DR: Results suggest that VR1 receptors, or increased levels of endogenous AEA, might mediate some of the pharmacological effects of CBD and its analogues, and (−)‐5′‐DMH‐CBD represents a valuable candidate for further investigation as inhibitor of AEA uptake and a possible new therapeutic agent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of cannabinoids and cannabinoid-enriched Cannabis extracts on TRP channels and endocannabinoid metabolic enzymes

TL;DR: CBD and Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol interact with transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and enzymes of the endocannabinoid system to explore its role in Cannabidiol-like properties.
