		Julius Axelrod, the American pharmacologist and neuroscientist who has died aged 92, shared the 1970 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his discovery of how chemicals called neurotransmitters regulate mood and behaviour - work that has revolutionised the treatment of depression, anxiety and other psychiatric disorders.
		Axelrod was known affectionately in the scientific community as Julie and for 30-odd years "Julie's laboratory" at the American National Institute of Mental Health was the destination of choice for the brightest of the world's postdoctoral pharmacology students.
		Axelrod worked with Brodie for eight years, but although he acknowledged the senior man as his mentor, he felt increasingly frustrated that he was not getting due credit for his role.

		Julius Axelrod, a pharmacologist and neuroscientist who shared the 1970 Nobel Prize in medicine for his insights into how human brain cells communicate with each other, died last December 29 at the age of 92.
		Axelrod, who was known as “Julie,” focused on how the neurotransmitters secreted by a brain cell travel across a synapse (the space between nerves) and are then picked up by a receptor on the surface of another cell.
		Axelrod was happiest, however, away from the spotlight, acknowledging his accomplishments with modesty and even a touch of self-deprecation.

		Axelrod and his mentor, Bernard Brodie, were charged with finding out why consumers who used non-aspirin analgesics, such as Bromo Seltzer, were developing an illness known as methemoglobinemia, a non-lethal blood condition.
		Axelrod noted that dicoumerol appeared in the blood plasma of test subjects in various concentrations, which suggested to him that there were individual and, thus, genetic differences in how people and animals metabolize drugs.
		Axelrod was also among the first U.S. scientists to conduct scientific experiments on the metabolism of lysergic acid diethylamide-25 (known colloquially as LSD), which he studied in-depth from September 1954 through March 1958.

		Axelrod consulted with B.B.Brodie at NIH and he and Brodie found that the problem was due to the metabolic conversion of the active ingredient acetanilide to aniline.

		Axelrod's contribution was his identification of an enzyme that degrades chemical neurotransmitters within the nervous system after they are no longer needed to transmit nerve impulses.
		Axelrod's achievement grew out of work done by Euler, specifically Euler's discovery of noradrenaline (norepinephrine), a chemical substance that transmits nerve impulses.
		Axelrod, in turn, discovered that noradrenaline could be neutralized by an enzyme, catechol-o-methyl transferase, which he isolated and named.

		Axelrod duly reported that the toxicity of the nerve poisons was greatly reduced, thanks to the anti-oxidant properties of THC and CBD.
		Axelrod also considers cannabinoids promising for the treatment of meningitis; and both arthritis and AIDS dementia are oxidative neurological conditions, involving an inflammatory body chemical called TNF-a, "tumor necrosis factor alpha," which is known to be suppressed by cannabinoids.
		So while CBD may be less "euphoric" than THC, this purportedly nonpsychoactive cannabinoid could turn out to pose problems of its own in isolation--particularly when taken by sick people, who have to use other drugs as well.
