Article Abstract
Anxiety and epilepsy are common worldwide and represent a primary global health concern. Fisetin, a flavonoid isolated from Bauhinia pentandra, has a wide range of biological activities may be a promising alternative to combat diseases related to the central nervous system (CNS). The present study aimed to investigate the anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects of fisetin on adult zebrafish. Furthermore, molecular docking simulations were performed to improve the results. Fisetin did not present toxicity and caused anxiolytic behavior and delayed seizures in animals. This effect may occur through serotonin neurotransmission at 5-HT and/or 5-HT receptors. Molecular docking simulations showed that fisetin interacts with the orthosteric site of the 5-HT receptor with strong H-bond interactions with the Trp156 residue, with a strong contribution from the catechol ring, a behavior similar to that of the antagonist co-crystallized inhibitor granisetron (CWB). Fisetin may be a promising alternative to combat diseases related to the central nervous system.

Introduction: Chronic pain is a major but modifiable contributor to poor quality of life among long-term cancer survivors. With growing concern over opioid-related risks, gabapentinoids have emerged as a safer alternative, though evidence comparing their effectiveness remains limited.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using SEER-MHOS linked data (1998-2021) to examine pain interference and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among 24,651 cancer survivors.

The fear of predation is pervasive among vertebrate prey species, being characterized by neurobiological and behavioral changes induced by risk exposure. To understand the acquisition and attenuation of fearful phenotypes, such as dimensions of posttraumatic stress, researchers often use animal models, with prey fishes recently emerging as a nontraditional but promising model. Much is known about fear acquisition in prey fishes such as the Trinidadian guppy, Poecilia reticulata, which inhabit high and low predation sites.

Pediatric neuropathy poses significant challenges in pain management due to the limited availability of approved pharmacological options. Gabapentin, commonly used for neuropathic pain, offers therapeutic potential but necessitates careful dosing due to its variable bioavailability. This study investigates the integration of Hot Melt Extrusion and Fused Deposition Modeling in the development of polycaprolactone-based implants for sustained release of Gabapentin.

Despite the various beneficial properties of cannabidiol (CBD), such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidepressant, and anxiolytic activities, its clinical utility is limited due to its notably low bioavailability (BA). To address this issue, we developed an amorphous CBD powder formulation using solvent shift method, which only uses materials approved for food-grade applications. In a pharmacokinetic study in male Sprague-Dawley rats, we orally administered 10 mg/kg of CBD isolate powder with a crystalline structure and our developed amorphous CBD powder formulation.
