Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Signal detection and characterisation of a novel drug–drug interaction between methadone and a synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Little is known about how synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist (SCRA) co‐use with other psychoactive substances may exacerbate risk of death. This study aimed to characterise the polypharmacy of deaths where SCRAs were detected at post‐mortem, investigate the cardiotoxicity of SCRAs and probe their inhibition of human ether‐a ...

The ongoing oleoylethanolamide story: Therapeutic implications in the control of obesity and its comorbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The global burden of obesity continues to rise, demanding effective pharmacological strategies for individuals in whom prevention alone is insufficient. Recent incretin‐based and multi‐agonist therapies have delivered unprecedented weight loss, demonstrating that the simultaneous modulation of multiple metabolic pathways can optimize body weight ...

Evaluation of cannabis product mislabeling: The development of a unified cannabinoid LC-MS/MS method to analyze e-liquids and edible products

Talanta Open
The 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act federally legalized the cultivation of hemp and manufacture and sale of cannabidiol (CBD). The overproduction of CBD led to a significant drop in price.

Positive modulation of glucagon‐like peptide 1 (GLP‐1) receptor by endogenous haemorphins with implications in glucose metabolism and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Haemorphins act on GLP‐1 receptor (GLP‐1R) activity and signalling in a positive allosteric manner. This leads to potentiated GLP‐1‐mediated activity and signalling, as well as insulin synthesis, which may have implications for glucose metabolism and, thereby, diabetes and obesity.

Targeted delivery of the CB2 receptor agonist JWH‐133 via VCAM‐1‐functionalised nanoparticles attenuates atherosclerosis and reveals sex‐specific therapeutic outcomes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by lipid accumulation and endothelial dysfunction, remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. While cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor agonists show therapeutic promise in preclinical studies, their systemic application is hindered by poor ...
