大麻能杀死卵巢癌细胞大型制药公司可能不会喜欢这个。在一项新的实验室研究中，科学家发现，THC 和 CBD（大麻中的两种主要化合物）以 1:1 的比例混合，可以消灭卵巢癌细胞，而不会损害健康细胞。这项研究测试了对化疗敏感和耐药的癌细胞。单独使用THC和CBD都能减缓癌细胞的生长。但两者联合使用则能杀死癌细胞。这两种大麻还能关闭一条关键的癌症生存通路（PI3K/AKT/mTOR），从而帮助肿瘤生长并抵抗治疗。大多数卵巢癌发现较晚，治疗后容易复发。目前的药物副作用很大。这种联合疗法毒性极小——这意味着副作用更少，患者痛苦也更少。但先别高兴得太早——所有测试都是在培养皿中进行的，而非人体试验。研究人员表示，在进行临床试验之前，还需要开展大量工作。不过，这无疑是个好兆头。这种自然界最具争议的植物或许拥有对抗女性最致命癌症之一的强大力量。来源：《药理学前沿》CANNABIS KILLS OVARIAN CANCER CELLSBig Pharma might not like this one.In a new lab study, scientists found that a 1:1 combo of THC and CBD - the two main compounds in cannabis - wiped out ovarian cancer cells without harming healthy ones.The study tested both chemo-sensitive and chemo-resistant cancer cells. On their own, THC and CBD slowed growth. But together, they were lethal to cancer.The weed duo also shut down a key cancer survival pathway (PI3K/AKT/mTOR), which helps tumors grow and resist treatment. Most ovarian cancer is caught late and comes back after treatment. The current drugs are brutal. This combo showed minimal toxicity - meaning fewer side effects, less suffering.But don’t spark up just yet - all testing was done in petri dishes, not in humans. Researchers say much more work is needed before clinical trials.Still, it’s a big green flag. Nature’s most controversial plant may be packing serious firepower against one of the deadliest women’s cancers.Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology
