An Integrative Approach to Elucidate Mechanisms Underlying the Pharmacokinetic Goldenseal-Midazolam Interaction: Application of In Vitro Assays and Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Models to Understand Clinical Observations [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

The natural product goldenseal is a clinical inhibitor of CYP3A activity, as evidenced by a 40-60% increase in midazolam AUC after coadministration with goldenseal. The objective of this study was to mechanistically assess the pharmacokinetic goldenseal-midazolam interaction using an integrated in vitro - in vivo - in silico approach.

The Potential of Cannabichromene (CBC) as a Therapeutic Agent [Minireview]

ASPET

In this review, we will examine what is currently known about CBC with regards to pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and receptor profile. Following easier access to hemp, CBC products are commercially available over-the-counter and are being widely utilized with little or no evidence of their safety or efficacy.

Deconstructing the Diligence Process: An Approach to Vetting New Product Theses

LifeSciVC

Additionally, for illustrative reasons this is geared towards a single target / product focus vs. broader platform diligence, though many of these mental models will apply for selecting targets and indications for a platform. In order to start building a case for or against a target, I like to start with genetics – first human and then mouse.
