Abstract
Evidence has accumulated that Cannabis-derived compounds have the potential to treat neuroinflammatory changes present in neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorder. However, research is needed on the specific brain health benefits of strains of whole Cannabis extract that are ready for commercial production. Here, we explore the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects of NTI-164, a genetically unique high-cannabidiol (CBD), low-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol extract, and also CBD alone on BV-2 microglia and SHSY-5Y neurons. Inflammation-induced up-regulation of microglial inflammatory markers was significantly attenuated by NTI-164, but not by CBD. NTI-164 promoted undifferentiated neuron proliferation and differentiated neuron survival under excitotoxic conditions. These effects suggest the potential for NTI-164 as a treatment for neuropathologies.

期刊介绍：
Biomolecules (ISSN 2218-273X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on biogenic substances and their biological functions, structures, interactions with other molecules, and their microenvironment as well as biological systems. Biomolecules publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
