US Patent 6630507 - Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6630507/fulltext.html
The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative deseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's
disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention.
Claim:
1. A method of treating diseases caused by oxidative stress, comprising
administering a therapeutically effective amount of a cannabinoid that has substantially no binding to the NMDA receptor to a subject who has a
disease caused by oxidative stress.
