Abstract
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex signaling network essential for regulating various physiological processes in the body. Selective cannabinoid receptor ligands have been developed to modulate specific ECS signaling pathways, offering potential therapeutic benefits. These ligands, with high selectivity and affinity for cannabinoid receptors, demonstrate potential in managing diverse medical conditions. Standardizing dosing is crucial to ensure reliable therapeutic effects, as cannabinoids may exhibit biphasic effects. Combination strategies involving both CB1 and CB2 receptor modulation show promise in managing complex conditions, including chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
