Outline of Final Research Achievements

Metabolic interactions of major phytocannabinoids (tetrahydrocannabinol, THC; cannabidiol, CBD; cannabinol, CBN) with microsomes from human brain, lung and placenta were investigated as part of toxicological study of these cannabinoids on extrahepatic tissues and following points were clarified: (1 & 2) metabolism of cannabinoids with human brain and lung microsomes. (3) metabolism of cannabinoids with human placenta microsomes and CYP19. (4) microsomal aldehyde oxygenase (MALDO) activity in human brain and lung microsomes for 11-oxo-THC. (5) inhibitory effects of cannabinoids on hydrolysis of anandamide and 2-arachinoylglycerol with human brain and lung microsomes. (6) Cytotoxicity of THC metabolites to mouse lung macrophage J774-1 cells.
