New study shows that (−)-Cannabichromene activates CB2 receptors 🧠, while (+)-CBC does not. Both enantiomers activate TRPA1 receptors, but (−)-CBC is the more effective isomer for targeting cannabinoid receptors.

@forensictoxguy How about a prime example ?

@lavietidhar For what ? Making random strangers on the other side of the world happy … enough ?

The colours are so complimentary

@blak_kar, Actually, not too far from where I think you are (Minjerribah)

@christophestove @IATDMCT @GentCongres How do you remember what all the acronyms stand for ? And where Ghent is ? Is not simply an idea of home ?

@Pharmechanic @zenbrainest @brightmindsbio But well done getting to Phase 2, hope it works out for the patients !

[Dr Mark Connor @markfrommacq]

@Pharmechanic @zenbrainest @brightmindsbio hesitate to enter conversation ... but what about cellular/circuit adaptations to chronic G protein activation ... or is that a feature, not a bug ? ... returns to 199X and thinks about opioids ...

Pretty great for an MRes … can’t wait to see what is next !

[Natasha Sneddon @NJSneddon]

So excited for my first international conference, first poster presentation, and first conference abstract! 😁

Exciting to see this project move into the construction phase. It’s a complex beast, but will build critical capacity for NSW and Australia in this rapidly emerging technology

@BritPharmSoc So much for the Common people … assume you will be sorted for E’s & wizz ?

[Michael Udoh, PhD @TheCannabisGuyy]

Glad to finally share that (-)- CBC is the active CB2 isomer but both CBC isomers are active at TRPA1

New paper from Mike Udoh & our colleagues at Baymedica, identifying the CB2-active isomer of CBC ... watch this space for more chiral surprises ... Activation of CB2 Receptors by (−)-Cannabichromene but Not (+)-Cannabichromene | C&CR, https://t.co/eiZ6kBqc6l

@lewischewis I have not got past the summary … it seems intense, and obtuse ???

[Dr Mark Connor @markfrommacq]

@Nnedi What with that and the Kookas, is it time for a visit to see them in their natural environment ... wouldn't even have to leave Sydney suburbia to see both (or not see the frogmouths, they are pretty hard to spot)
