- **Event Description**: Main presentation title: "Cannabinoids and the Treatment of Pain"About this EventPresentation 1 (15 Min)Investigation of the Protective Effects of Natural Compounds Sodium Butyrate andDihydromyricetin Chronic Alcohol-Induced Brain DamagePresented byAgrima DwivediUSC Mann School of Ph*rm*cy and pharmaceutical sciencesAbstract: Chronic alcohol exposure causes progressive brain damage through multiple interconnected mechanisms: inflammation, breakdown of the brain protective barrier, oxidative damage, and disrupted fat metabolism. Current medications have proven inadequate in preventing alcohol-induced brain damage. We investigated whether two naturally derived compounds, sodium butyrate and dihydromyricetin, could provide protection against alcohol-induced brain injury.Male C57BL/6J mice were exposed to chronic alcohol using the Lieber-DeCarli model and received daily treatment with either sodium butyrate (300 mg/kg) or dihydromyricetin (150 mg/kg), both known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Alcohol exposure significantly decreased levels of critical brain barrier proteins, specifically claudin-5 and occludin, while also reducing GFAP-positive astrocytes, reflecting both barrier breakdown and loss of brain supporting cells. Analysis of lipid metabolites identified specific lipid metabolites that may serve as potential metabolic targets for the tested natural compounds. These findings suggest that naturally derived compounds may effectively target multiple mechanisms of brain damage during chronic alcohol exposure, — including blood barrier function, and lipid metabolic dysregulation. This multimodal approach represents a promising avenue for future therapeutic development in treating alcohol-related brain injury.Presentation 2 (45 Min)Cannabinoids and the Treatment of PainPresented ByDaniele Piomelli, Ph.D.Distinguished ProfessorUniversity of California IrvineAbstract: This presentation will cover recent scientific acquisitions regarding the therapeutic application of cannabis to the therapy of pain.Agenda: This is a hybrid event.
