BIOCHEMICAL BASIS FOR USE OF CANNABINOIDS IN VARIOUS CLINICAL CONDITIONS
Journal Title: Journal of Drug Discovery and Therapeutics - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
The broad range of potential therapeutic applications of cannabinoids reflects the wide distribution of cannabinoid receptors throughout the body. The possibility of distinct subtypes of cannabinoid receptors and the probable development of new compounds to bind selectively to these receptors, as either agonists or blockers, may well open the door to the selective treatment of a number of disorders. Regulated use of the Cannabinoids can alleviate several disease conditions.
