Abstract

EXTRACTS FROM ANTARCTIC YEASTS AND HEMP PLANT INHIBIT THE GROWTH OF HUMAN LYMPHOID MALIGNANT CELLS

Spiro Mihaylov Konstantinov

Psychrophilic microorganisms successfully colonized deep seas, high mountains and Polar areas. Antarctica offers permanent low temperatures, strong winds, short summer and intensive sun irradiation. To survive under Antarctic conditions microorganisms, need to possess adaptable metabolism thus producing bioactive components with attractive pharmacological properties. Cannabidiol is a component in hemp. It has remarkable pharmacological activities such as tumor growth inhibition, pain perception modulation, and anticonvulsive, antipsychotic and antiemetic properties as well. It lacks any psychotropic activity and common toxicity and therefore is present in food supplements.
