Structurally Diverse Phenylpropanamides from Cannabis Fructus and Their Potential Neuroprotective Effects

pubmed logo

“This study aimed to investigate the chemical components and potential health benefits of the fruits of Cannabis sativa L.

Fourteen new phenylpropanamides designated as cannabisin I-XIV (114) and 40 known analogs were isolated and characterized via nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and electronic circular dichroism.

In vitro bioassay using H2O2-induced PC12 cell damage models demonstrated that hempseeds extract and compounds 131526303641, and 48 exhibited neuroprotective properties. 3,3′-Demethylgrossamide (30) displayed encouraging protection activity, which was further investigated to relieve the oxidative stress and apoptosis of PC12 cells treated with H2O2.

The isolation and characterization of these neuroprotective phenylpropanamides from the fruits of C. sativa provide insights into its health-promoting properties as a healthy food and herbal medicine for preventing and treating neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer’s disease.”
