The two best known and most studied cannabinoids are delta-9-tet-rahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) (Fig. 1). These two compoimds show markedly different pharmacological activity. THC is best known for its psycho-activity but also displays analgesic, anti-spasmodic, anti-tremor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-emetic activity. CBD... [Pg. 575] DA antagonists are anti-emetic, elevate plasma prolactin and have major motor and behavioural effects. Thus DA must be involved in the initiation of vomiting, the secretion of prolactin and control of motor and behavioural activity. Its role in emesis and as the prolactin release inhibitory factor have been adequately covered above. Its motor and behavioural function will now be considered. [Pg. 155] Benzimidazole is an important heterocyclic nucleus in the field of medicinal chemistry. The most prominent benzimidazole compound in nature is N-ribosyldimethylbenzimidazole, which serves as an axial ligand for cobalt in vitamin B12. The versatile nature of benzimidazole makes it a highly explored molecule in medicinal chemistry.
Oral bioavailability is very low, due to extensive intestinal and hepatic frrstpass metabolism. Furthermore, the oral route is impractical in patients with nausea and vestibular disturbance, who have been demonstrated to have impaired gastric emptying. [Pg. 179] PARP-1 inhibitor with the specificity and in vivo activity to enhance chemotherapy and radiation therapy of human cancer (Calabrese et al, 2004). GR205171 has the most potent anti-emetic activity of any tachykinin NKl receptor antagonist described to date. The compound is orally active in the ferret and dog, long-lasting, and warrants further investigation as a potential broad-spectrum anti-emetic agent (Gardner et al, 1996). [Pg. 390] Digestive system Anti-emetic activity Anti-ulcer activity... [Pg. 192] Cannabis Cannabis sativa) has a long history of medicinal and non-medicinal use and records date back 4, 000 years. Naturally occurring cannabis contains a unique class of compounds known as cannabinoids. Over 60 members of this family have been identified but only a few have been well studied.
The other 10% of its sales thought to be for pain, Multiple Sclerosis and also for Alzheimer's disease. ** Nabilone (Cesamet). Put back on the market in late 2006. In the US, it is A Schedule II substance unlike Marinol which is Schedule III and cannabis which is Schedule I. ** Sativex is an oral spray containing THC and CBD. It is currently legal in Canada and a few countries in Europe but not in the U. S. * Benzodiazepines ** Midazolam given at the onset of anesthesia has been shown in recent trials to be as effective as ondansetron, a 5HT3 antagonist in the prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting. Further studies need to be undertaken. ** Lorazepam said to be very good as an adjunct treatment for nausea along with first line medications such as Compazine or Zofran. * Anticholinergic s ** Hyoscine (also known as scopolamine) * Steroid s ** Dexamethasone given in low dose at the onset of a general anaesthetic for surgery is an effective anti-emetic. The specific mechanism of action is not fully understood.

They help cleanse you from the inside out by removing toxins and impurities that could show up on your face. How to use: Use a slice of orange in a face pack made with oatmeal and honey for greater benefits. Or simply soak a piece of cotton in a bowl of homemade orange juice, wipe your face with it, and notice the brightness over a period.
