Popis: Cannabis sativa has been attributed to different pharmacological properties. A number of secondary metabolites such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinol (CBD), and different analogs, with highly promising biological activity on CBThus, this study aimed was to evaluate the activity of THC, CBD, and their analogs using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations (MD) methods. Initially, the molecules (ligands) were selected by bioinformatics searches in databases. Subsequently, CBThe results obtained showed that ligand LS-61176 presented the best affinity in the molecular docking analysis. Also, this analog could be a CB
