Synthetic cannabinoid analogs, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating anxiety and other disorders

Abstract

Cannabinoid analogs may exhibit anti-inflammatory properties such as by inhibition of cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptors. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the cannabinoid analogs may be used to treat various diseases and conditions in mammals, including pain, anxiety, a sleep disorder, addiction, epilepsy, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder or Alzheimer's disease. In some examples, the pharmaceutical compositions may be administered for treating a cognitive disorder or for improving cognition.
