Abstract
Migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder impacting millions worldwide. Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) has emerged as a key player in migraine pathophysiology, leading to the development of targeted therapies. This study reviews novel CGRP-targeted treatments, including monoclonal antibodies small molecule inhibitors/nutraceuticals and introduces Asarinin as a potential modulator of the pathway. Asarinin, a natural compound found in various plants, is examined for its pharmacological potential in migraine management. Pharmacokinetic assessments, toxicological modelling, molecular property analysis, and network pharmacology were conducted. Molecular docking and dynamics studies with CGRP reveal potential interactions, providing a foundation for understanding Asarinin's therapeutic effects. Asarinin's favourable pharmacokinetics, safety profile, and bioactivity, supporting its candidacy as a therapeutic agent. In-depth molecular docking studies with the CGRP receptor (PDB: 6ZHO) demonstrate strong binding affinity (- 10.3kcal/mol), while molecular dynamics simulations unveil the dynamic behavior of the Asarinin-CGRP complex, (- 10.53 kcal/mol) for Atogepant-CGRP complex. Network analysis highlights key proteins in migraine pathology, indicating Asarinin's potential efficacy. The groundwork for future investigations, suggests Asarinin as a promising candidate for migraine management by targeting OPRM1 pathway. The integration of diverse assessments provides a comprehensive understanding of Asarinin's potential and paves the way for further preclinical and clinical research.

Gastrodin alleviates NTG-induced migraine-like pain via inhibiting succinate/HIF-1α/TRPM2 signaling pathway in trigeminal ganglion. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 125:155266. [PMID: 38241917 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence highlights the involvement of metabolic disorder and calcium influx mediated by transient receptor potential channels in migraine; however, the relationship between these factors in the pathophysiology of migraine remains unknown. Gastrodin is the major component of the traditional Chinese medicine Tianma, which is extensively used in migraine therapy. PURPOSE Our work aimed to explore the analgesic action of gastrodin and its regulatory mechanisms from a metabolic perspective. METHODS/RESULTS After being treated with gastrodin, the mice were given nitroglycerin (NTG) to induce migraine. Gastrodin treatment significantly raised the threshold of sensitivity in response to both mechanical and thermal stimulus evidenced by von Frey and hot plate tests, respectively, and decreased total contact numbers in orofacial operant behavioral assessment. We found that the expression of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel was increased in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) of NTG-induced mice, resulting in a sustained Ca2+ influx to trigger migraine pain. The content of succinate, a metabolic biomarker, was elevated in blood samples of migraineurs, as well as in the serum and TG tissue from NTG-induced migraine mice. Calcium imaging assay indicated that succinate insult elevated TRPM2-mediated calcium flux signal in TG neurons. Mechanistically, accumulated succinate upregulated hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression and promoted its translocation into nucleus, where HIF-1α enhanced TRPM2 expression through transcriptional induction in TG neurons, evidenced by luciferase reporter measurement. Gastrodin treatment inhibited TRPM2 expression and TRPM2-dependent Ca2+ influx by attenuating succinate accumulation and downstream HIF-1α signaling, and thereby exhibited analgesic effect. CONCLUSION This work revealed that succinate was a critical metabolic signaling molecule and the key mediator of migraine pain through triggering TRPM2-mediated calcium overload. Gastrodin alleviated NTG-induced migraine-like pain via inhibiting succinate/HIF-1α/TRPM2 signaling pathway in TG neurons. These findings uncovered the anti-migraine effect of gastrodin and its regulatory mechanisms from a metabolic perspective and provided a novel theoretical basis for the analgesic action of gastrodin.

Abstract
Kava is a herbal supplement and beverage made from the Piper methysticum plant, which is known for its recreational use as a mood enhancer, relaxation, as well as pain relief for centuries. Kava is widely used among alcoholics, but it is dangerous and potentially fatal. The objectives of this study were to examine the sub-acute toxicity effects of different doses of 70% kavalactone (KL) in rats by oral application, as well as to elucidate the mechanisms of toxicity alone and in combination with ethanol (EtOH). The most common side effects observed were abnormal breathing, ataxia, lethargy, loss of appetite, indigestion, and loss of coordination, especially in the 800 mg/kg bw, po bodyweight dosage of kava treatment group alone, and in combination with EtOH. In the sub-acute study, there were dose-related decreases in body weight, feed intake, and water consumption rates. Gross and histopathological findings revealed that the liver was abnormal in color, size, consistency, and the weight significantly increased at a dose of 800 mg/kg bw, po, with KL alone and a greater increase in combination with EtOH. Hepatocellular hypertrophy (HP) and necrosis with Kupffer cells hyperplasia were observed in the periacinar zone of all rats dosed with KL (800 mg/kg bw, po) alone, and extensive changes were observed in combination with EtOH. The periportal (Z1) and mid-zonal (Z2) areas of hepatocytes were less affected as compared to the periacinar zone. These results demonstrate that EtOH exacerbated the sedative and hypnotic activity of KL, and markedly increased toxicity. The histopathological results supported the clinical and biochemical findings and the severity of hepatic damage in a dose-dependent manner.

Nutrition and Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) in Migraine. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15020289.

Abstract
Targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its receptor by antibodies and antagonists was a breakthrough in migraine prevention and treatment. However, not all migraine patients respond to CGRP-based therapy and a fraction of those who respond complain of aliments mainly in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, CGRP and migraine are associated with obesity and metabolic diseases, including diabetes. Therefore, CGRP may play an important role in the functioning of the gut-brain-microflora axis. CGRP secretion may be modulated by dietary compounds associated with the disruption of calcium signaling and upregulation of mitogen-activated kinase phosphatases 1 and 3. CGRP may display anorexigenic properties through induction of anorexigenic neuropeptides, such as cholecystokinin and/or inhibit orexigenic neuropeptides, such as neuropeptide Y and melanin-concentrating hormone CH, resulting in the suppression of food intake, functionally coupled to the activation of the hypothalamic 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate. The anorexigenic action of CGRP observed in animal studies may reflect its general potential to control appetite/satiety or general food intake. Therefore, dietary nutrients may modulate CGRP, and CGRP may modulate their intake. Therefore, anti-CGRP therapy should consider this mutual dependence to increase the efficacy of the therapy and reduce its unwanted side effects. This narrative review presents information on molecular aspects of the interaction between dietary nutrients and CGRP and their reported and prospective use to improve anti-CGRP therapy in migraine.

Abstract
Background: Treatment effect of current pharmacotherapies for migraine is unsatisfying. Discovering new anti-migraine natural products and nutraceuticals from large collections of Chinese medicine classical literature may assist to address this gap. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in the Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine (version 5.0) to obtain migraine-related citations, then screened and scored these citations to identify clinical management of migraine using oral herbal medicine in history. Information of formulae, herbs and symptoms were further extracted. After standardisation, these data were analysed using frequency analysis and the Apriori algorithm. Anti-migraine effects and mechanisms of actions of the main herbs and formula were summarised. Results: Among 614 eligible citations, the most frequently used formula was chuan xiong cha tiao san (CXCTS), and the most frequently used herb was chuan xiong. Dietary medicinal herbs including gan cao, bai zhi, bo he, tian ma and sheng jiang were identified. Strong associations were constructed among the herb ingredients of CXCTS formula. Symptoms of chronic duration and unilateral headache were closely related with herbs of chuan xiong, gan cao, fang feng, qiang huo and cha. Symptoms of vomiting and nausea were specifically related to herbs of sheng jiang and ban xia. Conclusion: The herb ingredients of CXCTS which presented anti-migraine effects with reliable evidence of anti-migraine actions can be selected as potential drug discovery candidates, while dietary medicinal herbs including sheng jiang, bo he, cha, bai zhi, tian ma, and gan cao can be further explored as nutraceuticals for migraine.

Abstract
Background Medical cannabis (MC) has been hypothesized as an alternative therapy for migraines, given the undesirable side effects of current migraine medications. The objective of this review was to assess the effectiveness and safety of MC in the treatment of migraine in adults. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Web of Science for eligible studies in adults aged 18 years and older. Two reviewers independently screened studies for eligibility. A narrative synthesis of the included studies was conducted. Results A total of 12 publications involving 1,980 participants in Italy and the United States of America were included. Medical cannabis significantly reduced nausea and vomiting associated with migraine attacks after 6 months of use. Also, MC reduced the number of days of migraine after 30 days, and the frequency of migraine headaches per month. MC was 51% more effective in reducing migraines than non-cannabis products. Compared to amitriptyline, MC aborted migraine headaches in some (11.6%) users and reduced migraine frequency. While the use of MC for migraines was associated with the occurrence of medication overuse headaches (MOH), and the adverse events were mostly mild and occurred in 43.75% of patients who used oral cannabinoid preparations. Conclusions There is promising evidence that MC may have a beneficial effect on the onset and duration of migraine headaches in adults. However, well-designed experimental studies that assess MC's effectiveness and safety for treating migraine in adults are needed to support this hypothesis.

Abstract
Hematology and serum biochemistry study may provide antique knowledge about the physical status of individuals, making them a valuable tool to differentiate healthy animals from affected animals. We aimed to investigate Steroid safety levels in birds through ex-situ studies at regular therapeutic doses. A total of 100 birds were used for hematology and serum biochemistry. This study was designed into 2 trials over the summer and winter, each comprised 5, 10, 15, and 20 d. Each study group was based on 5 control group birds and 20 experimental group birds. A sum of 2 groups representing 2 different steroids trial groups was treated with therapeutic doses to the stretch of 5, 10, 15, and 20 d each season. A therapeutic dose of each of the steroids was given at the rate of 3 drops 2 times a day to each bird. Analysis of data reveals that steroids had severe effects on bird's (Coturnix coturnix) hematological parameters. In most trials, the hematological effects of bromocriptine as mesylate showed an increase in red blood cell count and white blood cell count. On the other hand, steroid estradiol valerate showed a decrease in these parameters. Effect of steroids on serum biochemistry profile indicate acute damage to vital organs, especially to liver and kidney, indicating an increase in cholesterol, total protein, albumin, urea, and uric acid. The overall effect of steroids on the bird's serum and biochemistry of quails were nearly similar but different only in their intensity.

Abstract
Some aromatic polyketides such as dietary flavonoids have gained reputation as miraculous molecules with preeminent beneficial effects on human health, for example, as antioxidants. However, there is little conclusive evidence that dietary flavonoids provide significant leads for developing more effective drugs, as the majority appears to be of negligible medicinal importance. Some aromatic polyketides of limited distribution have shown more interesting medicinal properties and additional research should be focused on them. Combretastatins, analogues of phenoxodiol, hepatoactive kavalactones, and silymarin are showing a considerable promise in the advanced phases of clinical trials for the treatment of various pathologies. If their limitations such as adverse side effects, poor water solubility, and oral inactivity are successfully eliminated, they might be prime candidates for the development of more effective and in some case safer drugs. This review highlights some of the newer compounds, where they are in the new drug pipeline and how researchers are searching for additional likely candidates.
