The endocannabinoid system impacts seizures in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome

Lyndsey L. Anderson et al.

Summary: Deficiency in the endocannabinoid system may contribute to seizure phenotypes in Dravet syndrome, and enhancing endocannabinoid tone could be anticonvulsant.

Evaluation of the Possible Anticonvulsant Effect of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid in Murine Seizure Models

Melissa J. Benson et al.

Summary: Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (Delta(9)-THCA) has variable anticonvulsant effects depending on the seizure model used and the presence of Delta(9)-THC. Its unstable nature poses challenges for further drug development. Future studies should focus on understanding the mechanisms by which combined Delta(9)-THCA and Delta(9)-THC alter seizure thresholds.

Cannabichromene, Related Phytocannabinoids, and 5-Fluoro-cannabichromene Have Anticonvulsant Properties in a Mouse Model of Dravet Syndrome

Lyndsey L. Anderson et al.

Summary: Cannabis-based products are increasingly used to treat refractory childhood epilepsies, with certain phytocannabinoids showing emergent anticonvulsant properties. The brain and plasma pharmacokinetic profiles of various phytocannabinoids were examined in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome, with CBC, CBCA, and CBCVA showing anticonvulsant efficacy. A fluorinated derivative of CBC (5-fluoro-CBC) demonstrated improved brain penetration but not greater anticonvulsant effect. These findings suggest that CBC and its derivatives may play a role in the anticonvulsant effects of artisanal cannabis oils in pediatric epilepsy patients.

Summary: Trpv1 may act as a genetic modifier in the DS model of mice, but its viability as an anticonvulsant drug target in DS is questionable.

Activation of TRPV1 by Capsaicin or Heat Drives Changes in 2-Acyl Glycerols and N-Acyl Ethanolamines in a Time, Dose, and Temperature Dependent Manner

Meera Manchanda et al.

Summary: This study investigates how activation of TRPV1 drives regulation of a wider range of lipid signaling molecules, which is time and dose-dependent. The analysis of lipids revealed that capsaicin increases the release of 2-acyl glycerols while decreasing levels of N-acyl ethanolamines. Changes in temperature also result in similar regulation of lipid signaling molecules.

Cannabigerolic acid, a major biosynthetic precursor molecule in cannabis, exhibits divergent effects on seizures in mouse models of epilepsy

Lyndsey L. Anderson et al.

Summary: The study found that plant cannabinoids such as CBGA, CBDVA and CBGVA have anti-seizure properties which can be used to treat childhood epilepsy. However, there are also some limitations and challenges that need to be addressed before these cannabinoids can be widely used as alternative treatments.

In vivo endocannabinoid dynamics at the timescale of physiological and pathological neural activity

Jordan S. Farrell et al.

Summary: The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol, not anandamide, is found to be dynamically linked to hippocampal neural activity in awake behaving mice. Additionally, seizures significantly amplify the levels of endocannabinoids and drive the synthesis of vasoactive prostaglandins, culminating in stroke-like events. These findings provide new insights into normal and pathological endocannabinoid signaling in vivo.

Genetic Manipulation of sn-1-Diacylglycerol Lipase and CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor Gain-of-Function Uncover Neuronal 2-Linoleoyl Glycerol Signaling in Drosophila melanogaster

Giuseppe Tortoriello et al.

Summary: The study reveals that dDAGL primarily expresses in the brain and nerve cord of Drosophila during larval development and in adults, with 2-LG being its chief product. Overexpression of human CB1R in the ventral nerve cord compromises the mobility of adult Drosophila, and inactivation of inaE normalizes motor coordination. These results suggest that 2-LG is an endocannabinoid-like signal lipid produced by dDAGL in Drosophila.
