چکیده

BACKGROUND: Sativex , a cannabis extract oromucosal spray containing -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), is currently in phase III trials as an adjunct to opioids for cancer pain treatment, and recently received United Kingdom approval for treatment of spasticity. There are indications that CBD modulates THC’s effects, but it is unclear if this is due to a pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic interaction.

Identification of recent cannabis use: whole-blood and plasma free and glucuronidated cannabinoid pharmacokinetics following controlled smoked cannabis administration.

BACKGROUND Δ⁹-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the most frequently observed illicit drug in investigations of accidents and driving under the influence of drugs. THC-glucuronide has been suggested as a marker of recent cannabis use, but there are no blood data following controlled THC administration to test this hypothesis. Furthermore, there are no studies directly examining whole-blood cannabino...

Human cannabinoid pharmacokinetics.

A multitude of roles for the endogenous cannabinoid system has been proposed by recent research efforts. A large number of endogenous cannabinoid neurotransmitters or endocannabinoids have been identified, and the CB-1 and CB-2 cannabinoid receptors have been characterized. The presence of other receptors, transporters, and enzymes responsible for the synthesis or metabolism of endocannabinoids...

Oral Fluid and Plasma Cannabinoid Ratios after Around-the-Clock Controlled Oral -Tetrahydrocannabinol Administration

METHODS: Ten male daily cannabis smokers received around-the-clock escalating 20-mg oral tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, dronabinol) doses (40 – 120 mg/day) for 8 days. Plasma and OF samples were simultaneously collected before, during, and after dosing. OF THC, 11-hydroxy-THC and 11-nor-9carboxy-THC (THCCOOH) were quantified by GC-MS at 0.5g/L, 0.5g/L, and 7.5-ng/L limits of quantification (LOQs), ...

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cannabinoids.

Delta(9)-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main source of the pharmacological effects caused by the consumption of cannabis, both the marijuana-like action and the medicinal benefits of the plant. However, its acid metabolite THC-COOH, the non-psychotropic cannabidiol (CBD), several cannabinoid analogues and newly discovered modulators of the endogenous cannabinoid system are also promising can...
