Newest firstThe family of intracellular lipid binding proteins (iLBPs) is comprised of 16 members of structurally related binding proteins that have ubiquitous tissue expression in humans. iLBPs collectively bind diverse essential endogenous lipids and xenobiotics. iLBPs solubilize and traffic lipophilic ligands through the aqueous milieu of the cell. Their expression is correlated with increased rates of ligand uptake into t…
Open article record in new tab ↗The UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) family of enzymes play a central role in the metabolism and detoxification of a wide range of endogenous and exogenous compounds. UGTs exhibit a high degree of structural similarity and display overlapping substrate specificity, often making estimations of potential drug-drug interactions difficult to fully elucidate. One such interaction yet to be examined may be occurring be…
Open article record in new tab ↗The legalization of cannabis in many parts of the United States and other countries has led to a need for a more comprehensive understanding of cannabis constituents and their potential for drug-drug interactions. Although (-)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN) are the most abundant cannabinoids present in cannabis, THC metabolites are found in plasma at higher concentrati…
Open article record in new tab ↗There are many gaps in scientific knowledge about the clinical significance of pharmacokinetic natural product-drug interactions (NPDIs) in which the natural product (NP) is the precipitant and a conventional drug is the object. The National Center for Complimentary and Integrative Health created the Center of Excellence for NPDI Research (NaPDI Center) (www.napdi.org) to provide leadership and guidance on the stu…
