Evidence that the plant cannabinoid Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabivarin is a cannabinoid CB(1) and CB(2) receptor antagonist

1. Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) displaced [(3)H]CP55940 from specific binding sites on mouse brain and CHO-hCB(2) cell membranes (K(i)=75.4 and 62.8 nM, respectively). 2. THCV (1 μM) also antagonized CP55940-induced stimulation of [(35)S]GTPγS binding to these membranes (apparent K(B)=93.1 and...
