Journal ArticleDOI

Phytocannabinoids: a unified critical inventory.

TL;DR: The integrated inventory of these compounds and their biological macromolecular end-points highlights the opportunities that phytocannabinoids offer to access desirable drug-like space beyond the one associated to the narcotic target CB1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibacterial cannabinoids from Cannabis sativa: a structure-activity study.

TL;DR: Observations suggest that the prenyl moiety of cannabinoids serves mainly as a modulator of lipid affinity for the olivetol core, a per se poorly active antibacterial pharmacophore, while their high potency definitely suggests a specific, but yet elusive, mechanism of activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic Administration of Cannabidiol to Healthy Volunteers and Epileptic Patients

TL;DR: Four of the 8 CBD subjects remained almost free of convulsive crises throughout the experiment and 3 other patients demonstrated partial improvement in their clinical condition, while CBD was ineffective in 1 patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visible light photocatalysis of [2+2] styrene cycloadditions by energy transfer.

TL;DR: In contrast to previous reports of visible light photoredox catalysis, the mechanism of this process involves photosensitization by energy transfer and not electron transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early phytocannabinoid chemistry to endocannabinoids and beyond

TL;DR: There have since been considerable advances in understanding of the endocannabinoid system and its function in the brain, which reveal potential therapeutic targets for a wide range of brain disorders.
