THCV | anti-psychotic,schitzophrenia in vitro via experiment | The phytocannabinoid, ??-tetrahydrocannabivarin, can act through 5-HT1A receptors to produce antipsychotic effects. | Mar 2015 |
Action Pathway: 5-HT1A Our findings suggest that THCV can enhance 5-HT1A receptor activation, and that some of its apparent antipsychotic effects may depend on this enhancement. We conclude that THCV has therapeutic potential for ameliorating some of the negative, cognitive and positive symptoms of schizophrenia. | |||
