Newest firstAbstract The use of Δ8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC) has become increasingly prevalent in the United States but its metabolic pathways remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to identify the key enzymes responsible for the 11′-hydroxylation of Δ8-THC, its primary metabolic pathway, and assess the effect of metabolizing enzyme genotype on this activity. The intrinsic clearance of recombinant (r) CYP2C9 was >…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aims Cannabidiol (CBD), the main non-intoxicating compound from the cannabis plant, is regularly used by patients with chronic pain who also take analgesics. CBD has previously been shown to inhibit CYP-mediated drug metabolism. This study aimed to characterize the potential pharmacokinetic interaction of CBD with amitriptyline and tramadol, two commonly used analgesics. Methods This was an open-label, fixed-seque…
The neuropharmacology of marijuana, including its effects on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)/antidepressant metabolism and the subsequent response and tolerability in youth, has received limited attention. We sought to (1) review clinically relevant pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) interactions between cannabinoids and selected SSRIs, (2) use PK models to examine the impact of cannabinoi…
Open article record in new tab ↗While the impact of genetic polymorphisms on the metabolism of various pharmaceuticals is well known, more data are needed to better understand the specific influence of pharmacogenetics on the metabolism of delta 9-tetrahydocannabinol (Δ9-THC). Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyze the potential impact of variations in genes coding for phase I enzymes of the Δ9-THC metabolism. First, a multiplex assay fo…
