Effect of Cannabistilbene I in Attenuating Angiotensin II-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy: Insights into Cytochrome P450s and Arachidonic Acid Metabolites Modulation.

This research investigated the impact of Cannabistilbene I on Angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cardiac hypertrophy and its potential role in cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and arachidonic acid (AA) metabolic pathways. Cardiac hypertrophy, a response to increased stress on the heart, can lead to severe cardiovascular diseases if not managed effectively. CYP enzymes and AA metabolites play critical roles in cardiac function and hypertrophy, making them important targets for therapeutic intervention.

In Vitro Predictive Model for Intestinal Lymphatic Uptake: Exploration of Additional Enhancers and Inhibitors.

Drug absorption via chylomicrons holds significant implications for both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. However, a mechanistic understanding of predicting in vivo intestinal lymphatic uptake remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to delve into the intestinal lymphatic uptake of drugs, investigating both enhancement and inhibition using various excipients through our previously established in vitro model.

Modulation of Angiotensin II-Induced Cellular Hypertrophy by Cannflavin-C: Unveiling the Impact on Cytochrome P450 1B1 and Arachidonic Acid Metabolites.

This research aimed to clarify the impacts of cannflavin-C on angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cardiac hypertrophy and their potential role in modulating cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) and arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites. Currently there is no evidence to suggest that cannflavin-C, a prenylated flavonoid, has any significant effects on the heart or cardiac hypertrophy. The metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) into midchain hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), facilitated by CYP1B1 enzyme, plays a role in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, which is marked by enlarged cardiac cells.

A validated method for detection of cannflavins in hemp extracts.

A selective and sensitive liquid chromatography mass spectrometry assay was developed for the detection of cannflavin A, B, and C in hemp extract specimens. A deuterated analog cannabidiol-D3 was used as the internal standard and the isocratic method used a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and water with 0.1 % formic acid [83:17].

Therapeutic Potential and Predictive Pharmaceutical Modeling of Stilbenes in .

is a plant used for recreational and therapeutic purposes; however, many of the secondary metabolites in the plant have not been thoroughly investigated. Stilbenes are a class of compounds with demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and are present in cannabis. Many stilbenes present in cannabis have been investigated for their therapeutic effects.
