Physiological effects that result from cannabigoid receptor stimulation include analgesia, decreased nausea resulting from chemotherapy, Sedation and increased appetite. Other physiological fu tions include relieving intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients and suppression of the immune system. Typically, about 10 mgiday 10 abou 1,000 mgiday is 3 possible “therapeutically elective amount” forthe inventive com- pounds ‘As used herein, an “individual” refers to a human. An “animal” refers to, for example, veterinary animals, such as, dogs, cats, horses and the like, and Farm animals, such as ‘cows, pigs andthe like ‘The compound of the present invention can be adminis- tered by a varity of known methods, including orally, rectally, or by parenteral routes (e.,_ intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, nasal or topical).

Then the rection mixture was cooled down agai to (C-and to it was added slowly with violent stirring a solution cof acyl chloride (50 mmol) in 50 mL of ethyl ether. The resillng rection mixture was warmed up to room tempera ture and stirred for another Uh followed by the slow addition of 375 mi of ammonium chloride aqueous solution, After violently stirring for 30 min, a white solid was fomed and flrated. The Hate was washed successively wit ethyl ether and reerystallized ftom ethyl scetateshexane to afford the produc. ‘Dimethyl 3-acyl-1H-indole. The foregoing procedure was ‘repeated Using 2-metbyl indole in plae of indole.
