Resumen
Los pacientes de cannabis medicinal usan frecuentemente cannabinoides emergentes como el cannabidiol (CBD) y el delta-8 tetrahidrocannabinol (delta-8 THC) para afecciones médicas y bienestar. Muchos sustituyen el cannabis por otros medicamentos, lo que resalta la necesidad de educación de salud pública sobre estos novedosos productos.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Farmacología
- Ciencia de los cannabinoides
- Salud Pública
Sus antecedentes:
- La legalización del cannabis en EE. UU. ha aumentado el acceso a nuevos cannabinoides.
- Existe una comprensión limitada sobre el uso de cannabinoides emergentes por parte de los pacientes de cannabis medicinal.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Caracterizar los patrones de uso (frecuencia, métodos de administración) y las motivaciones para usar cannabinoides emergentes entre los pacientes de cannabis medicinal de EE. UU.
- Evaluar la medida en que los pacientes de cannabis medicinal sustituyen los cannabinoides emergentes por medicamentos tradicionales.
Principales métodos:
- Se administró una encuesta a una muestra grande (N=1721) de pacientes de cannabis medicinal con base en EE. UU.
- Los datos recopilados incluyeron patrones de uso, métodos de administración y razones para usar una amplia variedad de cannabinoides emergentes.
Principales resultados:
- El cannabidiol (CBD), el delta-9-THC, el delta-8-THC y el THCA fueron los cannabinoides de uso más frecuente en el último año, siendo común el uso diario.
- Fumar flor, vaporizadores/cartuchos y comestibles fueron los métodos de administración principales para la mayoría de los cannabinoides.
- Los pacientes usaron principalmente cannabis para afecciones médicas, bienestar y como sustituto de medicamentos, y la mayoría informó la interrupción de productos farmacéuticos/otras drogas.
Conclusiones:
- Los productos de cannabinoides emergentes son utilizados sustancialmente por una gran cohorte de pacientes de cannabis medicinal.
- Es necesaria una importante divulgación y educación de salud pública para informar a las personas sobre estos novedosos productos de cannabinoides y su uso.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a phytocannabinoid that primarily interacts with the CB1 receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly in and around the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and emetic center. THC also blocks the serotonin receptor activity in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) by inhibiting serotonin release. THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

01:24CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids
728
CNS stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabinoids, have varying structures and mechanisms of action that lead to different therapeutic effects and side effects. Cocaine, with its molecular formula C17H21NO4, is a tropane alkaloid and a tertiary amino compound. It has two chemical forms: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The former is in powder form, while the latter involves removing the hydrochloride salt to create a form that can be smoked. Cocaine exerts its...

01:20Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners
797
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...

875
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

01:25Analgesia and Pain Management
1.4K
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

01:23Local Anesthetics: Common Agents and Their Applications
854
Local anesthetics (LAs) are commonly used for various applications in medical and dental procedures. Some of the common agents used are cocaine, lidocaine, and bupivacaine.
Cocaine is an ester of benzoic acid and methylecgogine. It is used to anesthetize and vasoconstrict locally. Currently, it is used primarily for topical applications. It is beneficial for surgeries on the upper respiratory tract, providing anesthesia and shrinking the mucosa. Cocaine in the form of cocaine hydrochloride is...
