INTRODUCTION: The endocannabinoid (eCB) system plays an important role in the
control of mood, and its dysregulation has been implicated in several psychiatric
disorders. Targeting the eCB system appears to represent an attractive and novel
approach to the treatment of depression and other mood disorders. However,
several failed clinical trials have diminished enthusiasm for the continued
development of eCB-targeted therapeutics for psychiatric disorders, despite the
encouraging preclinical data and promising preliminary results obtained with the
synthetic cannabinoid nabilone for treating post-traumatic stress disorder. AREAS
COVERED: This review describes the eCB system's role in modulating cell signaling
within the brain. There is a specific focus on eCB's regulation of monoamine
neurotransmission and the stress axis, as well as how dysfunction of this
interaction can contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders.
Additionally, the review provides discussion on compounds and drugs that target
this system and might prove to be successful for the treatment of mood-related
psychiatric disorders. EXPERT OPINION: The discovery of increasingly selective
modulators of CB receptors should enable the identification of optimal
therapeutic strategies. It should also maximize the likelihood of developing safe
and effective treatments for debilitating psychiatric disorders.
