Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cannabis is a drug-of-abuse used widely; it is a gateway drug leading to more serious drugs-of-abuse. It has also been applied to alleviate various pathological states, e.g. some types of epilepsy, nausea or vomiting caused by cancer treatment. In this project, we try to construct a multi-facetted platform for evaluating various compounds in cannabis extract (CS). In a cultured cell line derived from hypothalamic neurons, GT1-7, exposure of CS inhibited general metabolisms and reduced cell death. In metabolomic experiments, CS affected various metabolic pathways e.g. citric acid cycle, pentose phosphate cycle, and some amino acid metabolisms. CS may have affected metabolisms not via cannabinoid receptors, especially in cases 24 hours after its exposure.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

大麻は、広く使用される乱用薬物であり、さらに深刻な薬物乱用につながるゲートウェイドラッグであるが、他方、その医療応用は近年著しく確定している。しかし、大麻に含まれる微量成分の解析は始まったばかりであり、未だ十分とは言えない。これらの状況を鑑みると、大麻抽出物や抽出物に含まれる微量成分の有効性や危険性を迅速かつ客観的に評価する多面的プラットフォームを構築することは、乱用薬物としての観点からは社会の安全に繋がり、医療の観点からは、さらなる医療応用に資するものであり、その学術的及び社会的意義は大きいと考えられる。
