“Cannabinoid type 2 (CB(2)) agonists are neuroprotective and appear to play modulatory roles in neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer’s disease. We have studied the effect of 1-((3-benzyl-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-6-yl) carbonyl) piperidine (MDA7)-a novel selective CB(2) agonist that lacks psychoactivity-on ameliorating the neuroinflammatory process, synaptic dysfunction, and cognitive impairment
Our findings suggest that MDA7 is an innovative therapeutic approach for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.”
