Aging-US: High-CBD Cannabis sativa extracts modulate ACE2 expression in COVID-19


Working under a Health Canada research license, the
Aging-US authors developed over 800 new
C. sativa cultivars and hypothesized that high-CBD
C. sativa extracts may be used to down-regulate ACE2 expression in target COVID-19 tissues.
Using artificial 3D human models of oral, airway and intestinal tissues, they identified 13 high-CBD
C. sativa extracts that decrease ACE2 protein levels.
Some
C. sativa extracts down-regulate serine protease TMPRSS2, another critical protein required for SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells.
While their most effective extracts require further large-scale validation, their study is important for future analyses of the effects of medical cannabis on COVID-19. The extracts of their most successful novel high-CBD ....
