Cannabidiol Isolated From Cannabis sativa L. Protects Intestinal Barrier From In Vitro Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different C. sativa isolated compounds in an in vitro model of intestinal epithelium were investigated and the ability of treatments to modulate markers of intestinal dysfunctions was tested on Caco-2 intestinal cell monolayers.
Journal ArticleDOI

FFAR1/GPR40: One target, different binding sites, many agonists, no drugs, but a continuous and unprofitable tug-of-war between ligand lipophilicity, activity, and toxicity.

TL;DR: The progress made so far in the elucidation of the structure of free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1) and its secondary and ternary complexes with partial and full allosteric ligands led to the discovery of various putative binding regions on the FFAR1 surface as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Therapeutic Approach for the Management of Mood Disorders: In Vivo and In Vitro Effect of a Combination of L-Theanine, Melissa officinalis L. and Magnolia officinalis Rehder & E.H. Wilson.

TL;DR: TMM showed an anxiolytic-like and antidepressant-like activity in vivo, which was related to a neuroprotective effect in an in vitro model of excitotoxicity, suggesting a non-benzodiazepine-like mechanism of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

A honokiol-enriched Magnolia officinalis Rehder & E.H. Wilson. bark extract possesses anxiolytic-like activity with neuroprotective effect through the modulation of CB1 receptor.

TL;DR: In this article, a standardized M. officinalis bark extract (MOE), enriched in honokiol, and its effect on animal mood behavioural tests and in an in vitro model of excitotoxicity was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-inflammatory activity of a fixed combination of probiotics and herbal extract in an in vitro model of intestinal inflammation by stimulating Caco-2 cells with LPS- conditioned THP-1 cells medium.

TL;DR: CKG is able to prevent the impairment of intestinal barrier function induced by inflammation, ameliorating the transepithelial electrical resistance and the paracellular permeability of the Caco-2 monolayer; moreover, CKG is ability to counteract the increased release of TNF-a and IL-8 induced by inflammatory stimulus, thus reducing the intestinal inflammation.
