Exploring cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) safety profile and skincare ...
Luz-Veiga, Mariana; Mendes, Adélia; Tavares-Valente, Diana; Amorim, Manuela; Conde, António; Pintado, Manuela Estevez; Moreira, Helena R.Cannabinoids have long been known for their bioactive properties, with their topical application as anti-inflammatory compounds being at the forefront of research for the past decade. Concurrently, the cosmetic market is a fast-growing industry in constant need of new biomolecules. In this work, we studied the safety profile for topical applications of two cannabinoids: cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) ...
Cannabidiol and cannabigerol exert antimicrobial activity without compromising ...
Luz-Veiga, Mariana; Amorim, Manuela; Pinto-Ribeiro, Inês; Oliveira, Ana L. S.; Silva, Sara; Pimentel, Lígia L.; Rodríguez-Alcalá, Luís M.Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) are two pharmacologically active phytocannabinoids of Cannabis sativa L. Their antimicrobial activity needs further elucidation, particularly for CBG, as reports on this cannabinoid are scarce. We investigated CBD and CBG’s antimicrobial potential, including their ability to inhibit the formation and cause the removal of biofilms. Our results demonstrate that both molecu...
Beyond pain relief: a review on cannabidiol potential in medical therapies
Luz-Veiga, Mariana; Azevedo-Silva, João; Fernandes, João C.The phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) is receiving increasing attention due to its pharmacological properties. Although CBD is extracted from Cannabis sativa, it lacks the psychoactive effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and has become an attractive compound for pharmacological uses due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, and anxiolytic potential. The molecular mechanisms involved in CB...
