Multifaceted targets of cannabidiol in epilepsy: Modulating glutamate signaling and beyond.

Cannabidiol has been reported to interact with broad-spectrum biological targets with pleiotropic pharmacology including epilepsy although a cohesive mechanism is yet to be determined. Even though some studies propose that cannabidiol may manipulate glutamatergic signals, there is insufficient evidence to support cannabidiol direct effect on glutamate signaling, which is important in intervening epilepsy. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the epilepsy-related targets for cannabidiol, assess the differentially expressed genes with its treatment, and identify the possible glutamatergic signaling target.

Livogrit prevents Amiodarone-induced toxicity in experimental model of human liver (HepG2) cells and by regulating redox homeostasis.

Treatment with cationic amphiphilic drugs like Amiodarone leads to development of phospholipidosis, a type of lysosomal storage disorder characterized by excessive deposition of phospholipids. Such disorder in liver enhances accumulation of drugs and its metabolites, and dysregulates lipid profiles, which subsequently leads to hepatotoxicity. In the present study, we assessed pharmacological effects of herbal medicine, Livogrit, against hepatic phospholipidosis-induced toxicity.
