A Molecular Link between the Active Component of Marijuana and Alzheimer's Disease Pathology.
..."the active component of marijuana,
9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), competitively inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as well as prevents AChE-induced amyloid
-peptide (A
) aggregation, the key pathological marker of Alzheimer's disease...Compared to currently approved drugs prescribed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, THC is a considerably superior inhibitor of A
aggregation."
