May 21 -- Atlanta -- Intravesical administration of liposomal ajulemic acid (IP-751) produces a positive response in laboratory animals and may be useful in patients with painful bladder syndrome or interstitial cystitis, say investigators from the University of Pittsburgh. IP-751 is an analog of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-11-oic acid, which in turn is a metabolite of THC, the main psychotropic element of cannabis.
"Anything to do with [marijuana] and its potential medicinal use is a political hot button," acknowledged lead researcher Michael B. Chancellor, MD. "Fortunately, we are talking here about a drug instilled only into the bladder. IP-751 is chemically synthesized in the lab and is based on the pharmacology of cannabis, but is not obtained from the plant in any way."
