Neuropeptide VF Enhances Cannabinoid Agonist WIN55,212-2-Induced Antinociception in Mice.

“Cannabinoids produce analgesia in several pain models, but the undesirable side effects from high doses of cannabinoid drugs limit their clinic use.

Our recent results indicate that cannabinoid-induced antinociception was enhanced by neuropeptide VF (NPVF).

Here, we investigate whether low-dose cannabinoid agonists combined with NPVF can produce effective antinociception with limited side effects…

These data suggest that the cannabinoid agonist combined with NPVF produces effective antinociception-lacking tolerance via both cannabinoid receptor type 1 and neuropeptide FF receptors in the brain.”
