Contemplating cannabis? The complex relationship between cannabinoids and hepatic metabolism resulting in the potential for drug-drug interactions

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
The majority of states have fully legalized the use of medical cannabis (MC), and nearly all other states allow limited access to cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating constituent of cannabis often touted for a range of therapeutic indications.

Evaluation of a pantoprazole and 4‐desmethylpantoprazole‐sulfate metabolic ratio as a novel CYP2C19 phenotyping method

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims CYP2C19 is one of the most important pharmacogenes, and its activity is highly variable due to factors such as genetics or drug–drug interactions. Due to the lack of an appropriate endogenous CYP2C19 biomarker, surrogate methods to assess its activity are warranted.

Recreational Drug Use at a Music Festival: A Dual Approach Using Hair Biomarkers Analysis and Participant Self‐Reported Drug Use

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Combined self‐report and hair analysis in festival attendees (n = 249) revealed substantial discrepancies in drug use reporting, particularly for stimulants and dissociatives. This integrated approach enhances detection of poly‐drug use and provides a more reliable basis for monitoring and harm‐reduction strategies.

Determination of THC and THC‐COOH in Dried Capillary Blood Spots and Comparison to Venous Blood of Recreational Cannabis Consumers in a Pilot Study

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A new extraction method was developed and validated for the extraction of THC and THC‐COOH from capillary blood samples collected as dried blood spots. The extracts were analysed using HPLC–MS/MS resulting in high extraction efficiencies for both THC and THC‐COOH.

Exploring Cerumen as an Alternative Matrix for Drug Detection and Quantification: Method Development and Application in Clinical Samples

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
An LC–MS/MS method was developed for the detection of 33 psychoactive medications in cerumen (earwax) and applied to the samples of 60 psychiatric inpatient volunteers. The findings highlighted the utility of cerumen as an innovative biospecimen in clinical toxicological analysis.

In Vitro Metabolism of Δ8‐, Δ9‐, and Δ10‐THC in Human Hepatocytes: Distinct Δ10‐THC Biotransformation and Implications for Drug Testing

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Δ8‐THC and Δ9‐THC showed comparable metabolic profiles. In contrast, Δ10‐THC underwent extensive glucuronidation and hydroxylation, with only minor formation of a carboxy metabolite, indicating a markedly different metabolic pathway. These differences may increase the risk of misidentification and misinterpretation in cannabis drug testing.

Cannabidiol in Anorexia Nervosa: A Double‐Blind Randomized Placebo Controlled Pilot Study to Test Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Symptom Change

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder marked by an intense fear of gaining weight and persistent body dissatisfaction, both during periods of underweight and after weight restoration. The endocannabinoid system may offer therapeutic benefits, particularly in reducing anxiety.

Epilepsy in emerging adulthood: Clinical, psychosocial, and surgical challenges

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Emerging adulthood (EAs; ages 19–29 years) is a unique developmental stage marked by major psychological, social, and occupational transitions. We sought to characterize the clinical, psychosocial, and surgical features of epilepsy in emerging adulthood, considering both current age and age at epilepsy onset.
