Vegetable oils composition affects the intestinal lymphatic transport and systemic bioavailability of co-administered lipophilic drug cannabidiol (2022)
Journal Article
Feng, W., Qin, C., Abdelrazig, S., Bai, Z., Raji, M., Darwish, R., …Gershkovich, P. (2022). Vegetable oils composition affects the intestinal lymphatic transport and systemic bioavailability of co-administered lipophilic drug cannabidiol. International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 624, Article 121947. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121947

Although natural sesame oil has been shown to facilitate the lymphatic delivery and oral bioavailability of the highly lipophilic drug cannabidiol (CBD), considerable variability remains an unresolved challenge. Vegetable oils differ substantially in...

Therapeutic cannabinoids in multiple sclerosis: immunomodulation revisited (2018)
Journal Article
Constantinescu, C. S., & Gershkovich, P. (2018). Therapeutic cannabinoids in multiple sclerosis: immunomodulation revisited. European Journal of Neurology, 25(7), 905-906. https://doi.org/10.1111/ene.13658

Cannabinoids are compounds with pleiotropic properties that act on the cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, and are divided into endocannabinoids, the endogenous ligands of these receptors, synthetic cannabinoids and phytocannabinoids. The latter are... Read More about Therapeutic cannabinoids in multiple sclerosis: immunomodulation revisited.

Oral administration of cannabis with lipids leads to high levels of cannabinoids in the intestinal lymphatic system and prominent immunomodulation (2017)
Journal Article
Zgair, A., Lee, J. B., Wong, J. C. M., Taha, D. A., Aram, J., Virgilio, D. D., …Gershkovich, P. (2017). Oral administration of cannabis with lipids leads to high levels of cannabinoids in the intestinal lymphatic system and prominent immunomodulation. Scientific Reports, 7, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-15026-z

Cannabidiol (CBD) and ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) have well documented immunomodulatory effects in vitro, but not following oral administration in humans. Here we show that oral co-administration of cannabinoids with lipids can substantially increa...
