Abstract: The present invention provides the use of a compound which activates at least one of the sodium channels: NAV 1.1, NAV 1.3, NAV 1.6 or a combination of two or more of such sodium channels, in the preparation of a medicament for increasing cardiac output. Moreover, the aim of the invention, is utilizing this compound for increasing cardiac output without affecting cardiac rhythm or without inducing cardiac rhythm disturbance.

Abstract: Disclosed are synthetic cannabinoids, namely resorcinol derivatives, which reduce blood pressure without having psychotropic effects. Pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of high blood pressure related conditions, as well as methods of treating the same utilizing as active agent the compounds of the invention are also disclosed herein. Preferred active compounds are those which bear a long side chain on the C5 position and a terpenoid chain on the C2 position.

Abstract: The invention provides novel pharmaceutical compositions comprising as the active ingredient 4-phenyl pinene derivatives which are specific for the peripheral cannabinoid receptors. In particular, the compounds of the invention binds efficiently to CB2 but do not bind to CB1. The compounds show no activity in behavioral tests in mice which together have been shown to be specific for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)- type activity in the central nervous system mediated by CB1 but reduce blood pressure, block intestinal motility, and elicit anti-inflammatory and peripheral analgetic activity. The invention also relates to methods of treating, preventing, or managing hypertension, inflammation, pain, gastrointestinal diseases, autoimmune diseases, and tumors with the compounds of the invention.
