The G-protein-coupled human cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) is a promising therapeutic target for pain management, inflammation, obesity, and substance abuse disorders. The structures of CB1-G complexes in synthetic agonist-bound forms have been resolved to date. However, the commercial drug recognition and G coupling mechanisms of CB1 remain elusive. Herein, the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of CB1-G complex, in fenofibrate-bound form, at near-atomic resolution, is reported. The structure elucidates the delicate mechanisms of the precise fenofibrate recognition and G protein coupling by CB1 and will facilitate future drug discovery and design.

Lipoprotein glomerulopathy is an infrequent glomerular disorder that culminates in nephrotic syndrome and often progresses to kidney failure. Whereas most patients have been reported in Japan and China, limited reports have been documented outside these regions. This patient represents the first report of lipoprotein glomerulopathy in Pakistan.

Background: It has been noted in observational and interventional studies that individuals exposed to fenofibrate can exhibit a rise in serum creatinine (sCr) concentration. However, it is not known to what extent this phenomenon impacts kidney function in patients who are referred to a nephrology clinic for consultation for chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of patients referred to our nephrology clinic for a new evaluation of a rise in sCr or worsening CKD and who were on fenofibrate therapy.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play crucial roles in glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammation. Sanguinarine is a natural product that is isolated from Sanguinaria Canadensis, a potential therapeutic agent for intervention in chronic diseases. In this study, biochemical and cell-based promoter-reporter gene assays revealed that sanguinarine activated both PPARα and PPARγ, and enhanced their transcriptional activity; thus, sanguinarine was identified as a dual agonist of PPARα/γ.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α is a potent regulator of systemic and cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis, but it also suppresses various inflammatory reactions. In this review, we focus on its role in the regulation of innate immunity; in particular, we discuss the PPARα interplay with inflammatory transcription factor signaling, pattern-recognition receptor signaling, and the endocannabinoid system. We also present examples of the PPARα-specific immunomodulatory functions during parasitic, bacterial, and viral infections, as well as approach several issues associated with innate immunity processes, such as the production of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species, phagocytosis, and the effector functions of macrophages, innate lymphoid cells, and mast cells.
