Anti-inflammatory effects of Cannabinoid 2 Receptor activation in endotoxin-induced uveitis.

“CB2 R stimulation has immunomodulatory effects. This study investigated the effects of CB2 R modulation on leukocyte-endothelial adhesion and inflammatory mediator release in experimental endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU).

Stimulation of CB2 R is anti-inflammatory in a model of acute EIU by a mechanism involving a reduction in NF-κβ, AP-1 and inflammatory mediators.

CB2 R may be a promising drug target for the development of novel ocular anti-inflammatory agents.”
