الوصف Endocannabinoids, such as Anandamide (AEA), are lipid compounds which, together with the receptors they bind to, form the endocannabinoid system (ECS) which, in animals, modulates mood, cognition, appetite etc. The ECS can be activated by phytocannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) and as such, interest in its therapeutic use has grown substantially over recent years. However, not all of CBD’s effects can be explained by its binding to cannabinoid receptors and many other targets have been proposed. A better understanding of these alternative targets would increase the therapeutic potential of this phytocannabinoid in the future.
