Inflammation and oxidative stress are key mediators in AKB48-induced neurotoxicity in vitro.
Synthetic cannabinoids were introduced into market in early 2000s; since these "legal highs" are dramatically popular among youth, it becomes a deadly problem. Synthetic cannabinoids have high affinity to cannabinoid receptors; leading to various clinical symptoms. AKB48 (Apinaca) has been classified as a third-generation synthetic cannabinoid for the first time in 2014. The toxicity profile of AKB48 is unclear due to little information that mainly obtained from clinical and forensic cases; however, it is believed to be similar with other psychoactive substances. Thus, we aimed to investigate the possible toxicity mechanisms of AKB48 in SH-SY5Y (human bone marrow neuroblastoma) cell line.
