Rapeseed oleosomes facilitate intestinal lymphatic delivery and oral bioavailability of cannabidiol (2024)
Journal Article
Ji, L., Feng, W., Chen, H., Chu, Y., Wong, A., Zhu, Y., Sinatra, G., Bramante, F., Carrière, F., Stocks, M. J., di Bari, V., Gray, D. A., & Gershkovich, P. (2024). Rapeseed oleosomes facilitate intestinal lymphatic delivery and oral bioavailability of cannabidiol. International Journal of Pharmaceutics, Article 124947. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124947

Due to high lipophilicity and extensive first-pass metabolic loss, cannabidiol (CBD) has low oral bioavailability. Co-administration of CBD and long-chain lipids facilitates the intestinal lymphatic delivery, resulting in higher systemic bioavailabil...

Delivery of imiquimod to intestinal lymph nodes following oral administration (2024)
Journal Article
Chen, H., Ji, L., Wong, A., Chu, Y., Feng, W., Zhu, Y., Wang, J., Comeo, E., Kim, D.-H., Stocks, M. J., & Gershkovich, P. (2024). Delivery of imiquimod to intestinal lymph nodes following oral administration. International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 667, Article 124895. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124895

Intestinal lymph nodes are involved in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Tumours suppress the activation of dendritic cells (DCs) in draining lymph nodes, diminishing anti-cancer immune response. Imiquimod (IMQ) facilitates DCs activation v...

Cannabidiol and fluorinated derivative anti-cancer properties against glioblastoma multiforme cell lines, and synergy with imidazotetrazine agents (2024)
Journal Article
Brookes, A., Kindon, N., Scurr, D. J., Alexander, M. R., Gershkovich, P., & Bradshaw, T. (2024). Cannabidiol and fluorinated derivative anti-cancer properties against glioblastoma multiforme cell lines, and synergy with imidazotetrazine agents. BJC Reports, 2, Article 67. https://doi.org/10.1038/s44276-024-00088-0

Background
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis, partly due to resistance to the standard chemotherapy treatment, temozolomide (TMZ). Phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) has exhibited anti-cancer effects against G...

Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Visualization of Oral Dosage Forms in the Human Stomach: A Scoping Review (2024)
Journal Article
Akbar, T., Gershkovich, P., Stamatopoulos, K., Gowland, P. A., Stolnik, S., Butler, J., & Marciani, L. (2024). Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Visualization of Oral Dosage Forms in the Human Stomach: A Scoping Review. Molecular Pharmaceutics, 21(4), 1553-1562. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.3c01123

Oral dosage forms are the most widely and frequently used formulations to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), due to their ease of administration and noninvasiveness. Knowledge of intragastric release rates and gastric mixing is crucial...
