Popis: It was not known if Cannabichromene (CBC), which is a major constituent of drug types of Cannabis , has anti-inflammatory properties as do other cannabinoids. CBC was tested in vivo using the rat paw edema test and in vitro using the erythrocyte membrane stabilization assay. CBC was as effective as phenylbutazone (PBZ) at equivalent doses. Since CBC is less toxic than PBZ, larger doses may be given to produce a greater therapeutic effect.
