Neuroprotective effects of CBD in different neurological diseases through the activation of the TRPV receptors.

In Vitro and in Vivo Models CBD Dose Treatments Biological/Pharmacological Effect Neurological Diseases Ref.
Male Wistar rats 10 mg/kg 2 h after the induction of model CBD inhibited the carrageenan-induced hyperalgesia through the desensitization of the TRPV1 receptor Hyperalgesia [31]
hPBMECs and hCMEC/D3 Cells 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10 and 15 μM 7 or 24 h of incubation CBD, in a dose-dependent manner, led a last-lasting increase in intracellular Ca2+ level, through activation of TRPV2. In this way, CBD, enhanced cell proliferation, cell migration and tubulogenesis in human brain endothelial cells. - [109]
U87MG glioma cell line 10 µM Cells were treated with different doses of CBD for 1 day or co-treated with CBD 10 µM and chemotherapeutic drugs for 6 h. CBD, through activation of TRPV2 and the consequent entry of Ca2+, improved the action of chemotherapy drugs enhancing drug absorption and ameliorated cytotoxic activity in human glioma cells. - [110]
human Gingival Mesenchymal Stem Cells 5 μM 24 h of incubation CBD, through TRPV1 desensitization, promoted the PI3K/Akt pathway signaling, which can reduce Alzheimer’s hallmarks. Alzheimer’s disease [37]
