Science: Bladder inflammation

According to a press release by Indevus Pharmaceuticals their synthetic cannabinoid IP 751, better known as CT3 or ajulemic acid, was effective in an animal model of interstitial cystitis. It significantly reduced the bladder over-activity associated with the disease, without affecting the normal voiding mechanism of the bladder.

IP 751 was tested in a highly-standardized animal model of bladder inflammation and over-activity performed by Dr. Michael Chancellor, Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. "Currently, patients with interstitial cystitis have very few treatment options," he said.
