Cannabidiol (CBD) is a major Cannabis sativa constituent, which does not cause the typical marijuana psychoactivity. However, it has been shown to be active in numerous pharmacological assays, including mice tests for anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and schizophrenia. In human trials doses of CBD needed achieve effects anxiety schizophrenia are high. We report now synthesis 3 fluorinated derivatives, one which, 4'-F-CBD (HUF-101) (1), considerably more potent than...

L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia is a side effect of Parkinson's disease treatment and it characterized by atypical involuntary movements. A link between neuroinflammation L-DOPA-induced has been documented. Hydrogen gas (H2) neuroprotective effects in models major anti-inflammatory effect. Our objective to test the hypothesis that H2 inhalation reduces dyskinesia. 15 days after 6-hydroxydopamine lesions dopaminergic neurons were made (microinjection into medial...

Pharmacological manipulation of nitric oxide (NO) has been suggested as a promising treatment for schizophrenia symptoms. A single infusion sodium nitroprusside, NO donor with short half-life, was found to improve However, an increasing number preclinical studies have demonstrated the potential beneficial effects both donors and inhibitors. We investigated synergistic effect sub-effective doses nitroprusside or inhibitor 7-Nitroindazole (7NI) combined clozapine, standard atypical...

O canabidiol, fitocanabinóide presente na planta Cannabis sativa é desprovido dos efeitos psicotomiméticos característicos do principal composto da Cannabis, o ∆9-tetraidrocanabinol, mais conhecido como delta 9-THC. Um conjunto crescente de evidências sugere que canabidiol apresente potencial terapêutico para tratamento sintomas distúrbios psiquiátricos, a depressão, ansiedade e as psicoses. A observação em humanos, mas também modelos animais experimentais capacidade antagonizar os 9-THC...

<title>Abstract</title> The role of 5-lipoxygenase/leukotrienes on the central nervous system has been considered in both physiological end pathological states. Investigating interaction between and dopaminergic may provide better understanding dopamine-related pathologies. This study aimed to investigate motor non-motor responses 5-lipoxygenase/leukotrienes-deficient mice. Pharmacological challenges included amphetamine, apomorphine reserpine treatment along with their respective effects...
