Reduced Endocannabinoid Tone in Saliva of Chronic Orofacial Pain Patients

Background: the endocannabinoid system (ECS) participates in many physiological and pathological processes including pain generation, modulation, and sensation. Its involvement in chronic orofacial pain (OFP) in general, and the reflection of its involvement in OFP in salivary endocannabinoid (eCBs) levels in particular, has not been examined. Objectives: to evaluate the association between salivary (eCBs) levels and chronic OFP. Methods: salivary levels of 2 eCBs, anandamide (AEA), 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), 2 endocannabinoid-like compoundsN-palmitoylethanolamine (PEA), N-oleoylethanolamine (OEA), and their endogenous precursor and breakdown product, arachidonic acid (AA), were analyzed using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry in 83 chronic OFP patients and 43 pain-free controls. The chronic OFP patients were divided according to diagnosis into musculoskeletal, neurovascular/migraine, and neuropathic pain types. Results: chronic OFP patients had lower levels of OEA (p = 0.02) and 2-AG (p = 0.01). Analyzing specific pain types revealed lower levels of AEA and OEA in the neurovascular group (p = 0.04, 0.02, respectively), and 2-AG in the neuropathic group compared to controls (p = 0.05). No significant differences were found between the musculoskeletal pain group and controls. Higher pain intensity was accompanied by lower levels of AA (p = 0.028), in neuropathic group. Conclusions: lower levels of eCBs were found in the saliva of chronic OFP patients compared to controls, specifically those with neurovascular/migraine, and neuropathic pain. The detection of changes in salivary endocannabinoids levels related to OFP adds a new dimension to our understanding of OFP mechanisms, and may have diagnostic as well as therapeutic implications for pain.     

Simultaneous determination of ferulic acid and gastrodin of Tianshu Capsule in rat plasma by ultra‐fast liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry and its application to a comparative pharmacokinetic study in normal and migraine rats

Tianshu Capsule, consisting of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort and Gastrodia elata Blume, is a widely used Traditional Chinese Medicine preparation for the treatment of migraine. Ferulic acid and gastrodin are main active constituents in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort and Gastrodia elata Blume, and have been used as marker components for quality control of Tianshu Capsule. In this study, a selective, sensitive, and reliable ultra‐fast liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for simultaneous determination of ferulic acid and gastrodin in rat plasma using geniposide as internal standard. The plasma samples were extracted by protein precipitation with methanol after acidification and separated on a Shim‐Pack XR‐ODS C₁₈ column (75 × 3.0 mm, 2.2 μm) using gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of water (containing 0.1% formic acid) and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. Detection was performed on 3200 QTRAP mass spectrometry equipped with turbo ion spray source in negative ionization mode. Validation parameters were within acceptable ranges. The validated method was applied to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of ferulic acid and gastrodin in normal and migraine rats. Our results showed that there were remarkable differences in the pharmacokinetic properties of the analytes between the normal and migraine groups.     

synthesis of sempervirine,a pentacyclic anhydronium indole alkaloid

Summary Sempervirine (2,3,4,13-tetrahydro-1H-benz[g]indolo[2,3-a]quinolizin-6-ium,1) the pentacyclic anhydronium indole alkaloid ofGelsemium sempervirens Ait. f. (Loganiaceae), has been synthesized in three steps from hexahydroisochroman-3-one (6) and N-2-(3-indolyl)-ethylamine (tryptamine,7). The condensation product, N-2-(3-indolyl)-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-trans-hexahydrophenylacetamide (8) arising from6 and7 on double cyclization with phosphoryl chloride yielded the 3,4-dehydroyohimbane derivative9. Aromatization of rings C and D of compound9 with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) in glacial acetic acid, followed by basification, generated sempervirine (1).

Simultaneous determination of senkyunolide I and senkyunolide H in rat plasma by LC‐MS: application to a comparative pharmacokinetic study in normal and migrainous rats after oral administration of Chuanxiong Rhizoma extract

A selective liquid chromatographic–mass spectrometric method has been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of senkyunolide I (SEI) and senkyunolide H (SEH) from Chuanxiong Rhizoma in rat plasma. Plasma samples were extracted by liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate and separated on a Kromasil C₁₈ column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm), with methanol–water (55:45, v/v) as mobile phase. The linear range was 0.05–25 µg/mL for SEI and 0.01–5.0 µg/mL for SEH, with lower limits of quantitation of 0.05 and 0.01 µg/mL, respectively. Intra‐ and inter‐day precision were within 10.0 and 9.8%, and the accuracies (relative errors) were <9.6 and 5.9%, with the mean extraction recoveries 81.0–86.6 and 80.5–85.0% for the two anayltes, respectively. The validated method was successfully applied to a comparative pharmacokinetic study of SEI and SEH in normal and migrainous rats after oral administration of Chuanxiong Rhizoma extract. The results indicated that there were obvious differences between normal and migrainous rats in the pharmacokinetic behavior after oral administration of Chuanxiong Rhizoma extract. The absorption of SEI and SEH were significantly increased in migrainous rats compared with normal rats. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
