Wogonin, an O-methylated flavonoid extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis, has demonstrated profound neuroprotective effects in a range of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. This review elucidates the pharmacological mechanisms underlying the protective effects of wogonin in CNS diseases, including ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, anxiety, neurodegenerative diseases, and CNS infections. Wogonin modulates key signaling pathways, such as the MAPK, NF-κB, and ROS pathways, contributing to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic properties.

Background: Cannabidiol, which is one of the main cannabinoids present in plants, has been shown to have therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that may be useful for treatment of various kidney conditions.
Objectives: This article investigates the effect of long-term cannabidiol (CBD) treatment on changes in the renal transcriptome in a mouse model. The main hypothesis was that systematic CBD treatment would affect gene expression associated with those processes in the kidney.

Cannabidiol, the primary non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid found in cannabis, has generated significant research interest due to its potential for biological effects, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immunomodulatory, and anticonvulsant properties. Several studies have demonstrated the potential of CBD to alter inflammatory cytokines; however, data on CBD's effects on cell viability and pro-inflammatory cytokines in target animals, such as dogs, are limited. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of CBD on the cell viability and modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), in canine PBMCs stimulated with LPS.

A series of ten topiramate-phenolic acid conjugates (T1-T10) were synthesized, and evaluated for their pancreatic lipase inhibitory and antioxidant potentials. The design of the compounds reflected the structural attributes extracted from robust QSAR models developed for predicting the pancreatic lipase inhibition potency. Conjugate T4 competitively inhibited pancreatic lipase with IC value of 8.
