  Author(s): Giovanna Petrangolini, Fabio Donzelli, Davide Berlanda, Pietro Allegrini, Andrea Rossignoli, Michela Stucchi and Antonella Riva*
  
  Background: Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties are displayed by several natural products, in particular Acmella oleracea and Zingiber officinale. Literature data suggests that both botanical extracts can be useful as inflammation/pain modulators, so technological efforts have been made to associate them together in a unique delivery new food-grade formulation, Mitidol, with the purpose of improving their beneficial effects. Objective: The aim of the present work was to assess if Mitidol and its active ingredients are able to modulate the endocannabinoid 2 receptor system, one of the major systems responsible for positive effects of Cannabis treatment. Cannabinoid 2 receptor represents an attractive pharmacological target in obtaining an anti-inflammatory/analgesic effect with low central nervous sy.. View More»
