A rapid and specific liquid chromatographic mass spectrometric (LC-MS-MS) method has been developed for the determination of paroxetine in human plasma. The procedure involves a liquid-liquid extraction of paroxetine and fluoxetine (internal standard) with cyclohexane-ethyl acetate. The standard curve was linear over a working range of 0.2-50 ng/ml. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.2 ng/ml. No endogenous compounds were found to interfere with the analysis. The absolute recovery was 70.8% for paroxetine and 84.1% for the internal standard. The accuracy of inter-assay and intra-assay accuracy was in the ranges -4.8 to -0.5% and -3.4 to 4.8%, respectively. This method proved to be suitable for bioequivalence studies by being simple, selective and reproducible.

Data addressing safety concerns related to potential drug interactions between cannabis-derived products and pharmaceutical medications in the pediatric population are lacking. In this study, we retrieved case reports through a published literature search using PubMed and spontaneous reporting data using the Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to identify potential cannabis- and cannabinoid-drug interactions in individuals younger than 18 years old. To evaluate the published case reports, we used the Drug Interaction Probability Scale (DIPS), a 10-item questionnaire designed to discern the causal relationship between a potential drug interaction and adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

Cardiac NCCs play a critical role in heart development by orchestrating outflow tract septation, valve formation, aortic arch artery patterning, parasympathetic innervation, and maturation of the cardiac conduction system. Abnormal migration, proliferation, or differentiation of cardiac NCCs can lead to severe congenital cardiovascular malformations.

Purpose: This study investigates the potential association between commonly prescribed psychotropic medications, such as Atypical Antipsychotics (AAs), Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), and Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs), and congenital anomalies in newborns. The analysis uses data from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
Methods: Spontaneously reported cases of congenital anomalies in newborns (under 28 days old) were extracted from the FAERS database, covering January 2004 to June 2023.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Chai Shao Jie Yu Granules (CSJY) is a renowned and time-honored formula employed in clinical practice for the management of various conditions, notably depression. Depression, a prevalent psychiatric disorder, poses challenges with limited effective treatment options. Traditional herbal medicines have garnered increasing attention in the realm of combating depression, being perceived as safer alternatives to pharmacotherapy.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease and psychological factors may be one of its pathogeneses. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor drug such as paroxetine with an effective anti-depression ability may be a new option for UC treatment. To evaluate the therapeutic effect of paroxetine on the exacerbation of UC symptoms caused by depression, a dual model of C57BL/6 mice was established using dextran sulphate sodium and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS).
