What receptors does CBG bind?

CBG has a published in-vitro receptor profile: CB1 antagonism, which is the chemistry behind calling it non-intoxicating; 5-HT1A antagonism, with an Atlas-reported KB of about 51.9 nM; and TRP-channel activity as a TRPV1/TRPV2 agonist–desensitiser and TRPM8 antagonist. α2-adrenoceptor agonism is reported as highly potent in vitro, and a human blood-pressure effect is hypothesised from that but has not been measured. Activity validated in vitro is not an outcome in a person.

Origin

The numbers and targets come from CBG Atlas’s monograph grades. Peregrine does not run binding assays and does not use these figures in marketing.

Established

  • In-vitro CB1 antagonism.
  • In-vitro 5-HT1A antagonism (Atlas: KB ≈ 51.9 nM).
  • In-vitro TRPV1/TRPV2 agonist–desensitiser; TRPM8 antagonist.

Not yet

  • α2 blood-pressure pharmacology in humans.
  • Any structure/function claim built from a binding constant.

Questions

Does CB1 antagonism mean CBG blocks THC?

No. CB1 antagonism describes how CBG behaves at the receptor in a laboratory assay. It says nothing about what happens when the two are taken together in a person.

Evidence language follows CBG Atlas (Peregrine-funded; editorial independence). Not medical advice. Not a disease claim.
