    In 2011, A Combined Preclinical Therapy of Cannabinoids and Temozolomide against Glioma.Tumors were induced in nude mice BACKGROUND: The present work was therefore undertaken to study the potential synergic antitumoral action of TMZ (the benchmark agent for the management of GBM) and THC and CBD. Mice were assigned randomly to various groups and injected peritumorally for…

    In 2001, Inhibition of Glioma Growth in Vivo by Selective Activation of the CB2 Cannabinoid Receptor BACKGROUND: Here we show that local administration of the selective CB2 agonist JWH-133 at 50 μg/day to Rag-2−/− mice induced a considerable regression of malignant tumors generated by inoculation of C6 glioma cells.  Cannabinoid receptor expression was subsequently examined in biopsies from human astrocytomas You can…
