“Some
cannabinoids have been shown to suppress chronic pain by targeting glycine receptors (GlyRs).
Although
cannabinoid potentiation of α3 GlyRs is thought to contribute to
cannabinoid-induced analgesia, the role of
cannabinoid potentiation of α1 GlyRs in
cannabinoid suppression of chronic pain remains unclear.
Here we report that dehydroxylcannabidiol (DH-CBD), a nonpsychoactive
cannabinoid, significantly suppresses chronic inflammatory pain caused by noxious heat stimulation.
These findings suggest that spinal α1 GlyR is a potential target for
cannabinoid analgesia in chronic inflammatory pain.”
