Investigations into the antibacterial mechanism of action of cannabidiol

该项目旨在了解化合物大麻二酚如何通过从遗传和分子水平研究其与细菌的相互作用来杀死细菌。这项研究是至关重要的，因为大麻二酚的未来发展和改进类似物的设计是基于知道它是如何工作的。 预期成果包括首次详细了解大麻二酚如何与细菌相互作用。这将带来巨大的好处，包括高影响力的出版物，与工业合作伙伴Botanix的额外合作，以及一类新的抗生素来克服抗生素耐药性。

This project aims to understand how the compound cannabidiol is able to kill bacteria by examining its interactions with bacteria from a genetic and molecular level. This research is critical, because future development of cannabidiol and design of improved analogs is predicated on knowing how it works. Expected outcomes include the first detailed understanding of how cannabidiol interacts with bacteria. This should lead to significant benefits, including high impact publications, additional collaborations with industrial partner Botanix, and a new class of antibiotics to overcome antibiotic resistance.
