Cannabinoids and drug–drug pharmacokinetic interactions: Deciphering the risks

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The relationship between cannabinoids and mental health has become a major focus of scientific inquiry and public discourse. Cannabinoids are diverse chemical compounds from the Cannabis species that have been explored for their therapeutic applications in treating chronic pain, psychiatric and neurological conditions, such as depression, schizophrenia,

The effect of cannabinoid type 2 receptor agonist on morphine tolerance

IBRO Neuroscience Reports
Pain highly impacts the quality of life of patients. Morphine is used for pain treatment; however, its side effects, especially morphine tolerance, limit its use in the clinic. The problem of morphine tolerance has plagued health workers and patients for

Morphine Binds Creatine Kinase B and Inhibits Its Activity

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Morphine is an analgesic alkaloid used to relieve severe pain, and irreversible binding of morphine to specific unknown proteins has been previously observed.

Female rat hippocampal cell density after conditioned place preference [PDF]

, 2014
The hippocampus is important for learning tasks, such as conditioned place preference (CPP), which is widely used as a model for studying the reinforcing effects of drugs with dependence liability.

M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor facilitates the endocytosis of mu opioid receptor mediated by morphine independently of the formation of heteromeric complexes [PDF]

, 2017
Morphine inefficiency to induce the internalization of mu opioid (MOP) receptors observed in numerous experimental models constitutes a paradigm of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) functional selectivity.

Beyond the label: Rethinking off‐label drug use in paediatrics. Towards a scientifically grounded and safer future for paediatric pharmacotherapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite regulatory progress being made in the past two decades, off‐label drug use in paediatrics remains pervasive, with prevalence estimated between 3% and 97% of prescriptions across different clinical settings. Off‐label use—defined as prescribing outside the conditions described in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)—is often ...

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Influence of Nitric Oxide in the Central Amygdala on the Acquisition and Expression of Morphine-Induced Place Preference in Morphine Sensitized Rats

Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2011
Effects of intra-central amygdala administration of L-arginine, a nitric oxide precursor, and NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl-ester (L NAME), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, on the morphine-induced sensitization and also on the expression of morphine ...

Effect of intrauterine morphine sulfate exposure on cerebellar histomorphological changes in neonatal mice [PDF]

, 2011
Neurotoxic effects of morphine sulfate in adult cerebellar cortex and neonatal cerebral cortex have been studied in animal models. This study was done to determine the neurotoxic effects of prenatal morphine exposure on the histo morphological changes of

Unveiling Hepatic Protein Alterations in Neonatal and Infant Biliary Atresia

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pediatric populations differ from adults in drug elimination capacity. While current scaling methods account for enzyme and transporter maturation, they overlook comorbidities, such as biliary atresia (BA), a liver disease appearing within the first 2–8 weeks of life that can progress to cirrhosis.
