Patent

CA 2410401

The invention discloses the existence of cannabinoid receptors in the airways, which are functionally linked to inhibition of cough. Locally acting cannabinoid agents can be administered to the airways of a subject to ameliorate cough, without causing the psychoactive effects characteristic of systemically administered cannabinoids. In addition, locally or systemically administered cannabinoid inactivation inhibitors can also be used to ameliorate cough. The present invention also defines conditions under which cannabinoid agents can be administered to produce anti-tussive effects devoid of bronchial constriction.

L'invention concerne l'existence de récepteurs de cannabinoïdes dans les voies respiratoires, dont la fonction est liée à l'inhibition de la toux. On peut administrer aux voies respiratoires d'un sujet des agents cannabinoïdes à action localisée afin d'améliorer la toux, sans déclencher d'effets psychoactifs caractéristiques des cannabinoïdes administrés de façon systémique. De plus, on peut également utiliser afin d'améliorer la toux, des inhibiteurs d'inactivation des cannabinoïdes administrés de façon localisée ou systémique. Elle définit également les conditions dans lesquelles on peut administrer des agents cannabinoïdes afin de produire des effets antitussifs dépourvus de constriction des bronches.
