Cannabinoids and Cannabinoid Receptors: The Story so Far

iScience, 2020
Like most modern molecular biology and natural product chemistry, understanding cannabinoid pharmacology centers around molecular interactions, in this case, between the cannabinoids and their putative targets, the G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs ...

Endocannabinoid System and Exogenous Cannabinoids in Depression and Anxiety: A Review

Brain Sciences, 2023
Background: There is a growing liberalization of cannabis-based preparations for medical and recreational use. In multiple instances, anxiety and depression are cited as either a primary or a secondary reason for the use of cannabinoids. Aim: The purpose

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.

Micro‐QuEChERS Extraction for Broad‐Spectrum LC‐QQQ‐MS Quantification of Nitazene Analogs in Plasma: A Validated Method With Casework Application

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Micro‐QuEChERS sample preparation coupled to LC‐QQQ‐MS enabled sensitive quantification of nitazene analogs in 100 μL of plasma. The validated method provided low detection limits and was successfully applied to an authentic intoxication case involving N‐pyrrolidino protonitazene, supporting clinical and forensic toxicology workflows.

Synthetic Cannabinoids in Oral Fluid [PDF]

Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 2011
At the end of 2010, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) used its emergency scheduling authority to temporarily control five chemicals, JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-200, CP-47497, and cannabicyclohexanol (CP-47497 C8), often referred to as "Spice", K2, or "synthetic cannabinoids" because of their reported cannabis-like effects.

Cannabidiol reduces atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms in a Gabrb3+/D120N mouse model of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a drug‐resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Preclinical drug development for LGS is constrained by a lack of syndrome‐relevant animal models. We aimed to evaluate a Gabrb3+/D120N knock‐in (KI) mouse model of LGS by quantifying atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms and ...

Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry: Fundamental Principles, Diverse Applications, and the Latest Technological Frontiers

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The review examines the evolution of chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI‐MS), a technique developed in 1966 by Field and Munson. CI is a soft‐ionization method that produces more intense molecular ions with less fragmentation than electron ionization (EI).

Circadian rhythms and chronotherapy in Alzheimer's disease: Mechanisms and therapeutic implications

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Circadian dysregulation contributes to Alzheimer's disease through sleep disruption, clock‐gene dysfunction, neuroinflammation, impaired proteostasis, and metabolic imbalance. These alterations promote cognitive decline and disease progression, while circadian biomarkers and chronotherapeutic interventions offer opportunities for precision diagnosis ...

Efficacy and Safety of Cannabis Derivates and Their Synthetic Analogs. Overview of Systematic Reviews

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of medicinal products derived from cannabis and its synthetic analogues has grown in recent years for various health conditions, which led to an increase in systematic reviews (SR) on the topic. The objective of this overview was to identify, synthesize, and critically appraise the evidence from SR on the benefits and harms of cannabis
