Cannabinoids have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, which were proposed to occur mainly via activation of the G-protein-coupled receptor CB(1) (cannabinoid receptor 1). Recently, certain cannabinoids have been reported to be ligands for members of the nuclear receptor transcription factor superfamily known as PPARs (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors). This review summarizes the evidence for cannabinoid activation of PPARs and identifies a new intracellular target for cannabinoids as therapeutic agents for neuroprotective treatment.
大麻素已被证明具有抗炎和神经保护特性,据推测这些特性主要通过激活G蛋白偶联受体CB(1)(大麻素受体1)而产生。最近,有报道称某些大麻素是核受体转录因子超家族成员PPARs(过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体)的配体。这篇综述总结了大麻素激活PPARs的证据,并确定了大麻素作为神经保护治疗药物的一个新的细胞内靶点。
