The purpose of the study was to develop a gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method for the identification and quantitation of Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in rabbit plasma. Two ionization techniques were utilized for GC-MS: electron impact ionization (EI) after i.v. administration and negative chemical ionization (NCI) after sublingual administration. THC was isolated from plasma by solid phase extraction and derivatized by either trimethylsilylation (EI) or trifuoroacetylation (NCI), with deuterated THC as an internal standard. The validity of analytical method was confirmed by investigating selectivity, limit of quantitation, linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery and stability of the analyte. The method proved to be selective, linear, accurate and precise over a range of 10-430 and 0.3-530 ng/ml of THC in plasma for EI and NCI, respectively. The extraction recovery was >81% for each concentration level studied, and the analyte was shown to be stable during storage and sample preparation. The method was applied successfully in analysing THC from rabbit plasma.

Background: Rex rabbit is famous for its silky and soft fur coat, a characteristic predominantly attributed to its hair follicles. Numerous studies have confirmed the crucial roles of mRNAs and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in regulating key cellular processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and immunity. However, their involvement in the regulation of the hair cycle in Rex rabbits remains unknown.

Depression is a common mental condition causing depressed mood and loss of pleasure. The primary treatment approach for the management of depression consists of the use of selegiline (MAO-B) inhibitor compound. The present work aimed to develop and optimize selegiline-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers for transdermal application, utilizing a 2 full factorial design approach.
