Se gli atomi diventano lettere, le molecole possono diventare parole, o intere frasi. Analogamente a come i Large Language Model sono addestrati a parlare il linguaggio naturale, un software di Intelligenza Artificiale può essere addestrato a parlare il linguaggio della chimica. Su questa linea si è mossa l'Università di Pisa, che in un articolo pubblicato sull'European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry ha descritto un nuovo modo per progettare molecole farmacologiche basate su quello che vengono chiamati “chemical language models”, modelli linguistici ispirati a quelli usati nei chatbot come ChatGPT, ma addestrati a leggere e scrivere il linguaggio molecolare. Ce ne parla Tiziano Tuccinardi, Professore di Chimica Farmaceutica del Dipartimento di Farmacia dell'Università di Pisa.

An estimated 3 million Americans use kratom products for recreational purposes, in self-treatment of opiate addiction, and to manage pain. Yet, our scientific understanding of its safety, efficacy, and potential for addiction is still poorly understood. With new data emerging each year, scientists are starting to gain a better picture of the full spectrum of risks and benefits of this SE Asian medicinal herb. Our guest this week, Dr. Christopher McCurdy, is an internationally recognized expert on kratom. Chris is a Professor of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutics at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, where he also directs the UF Translational Drug Development Core. We address questions like: What is kratom? Where does it come from and how does its traditional use differ from the ways it is consumed in the USA? What are the major active compounds found in kratom and how much variation is there in different products? What are the side effects of chronic versus acute use of kratom? And are there any drugs you should avoid taking in combination with kratom? #kratom #MedicinalPlants #Pain #Addiction #tea #Herbs #HerbalSafety #Stimulant #Science #foodiepharmacology #ChristopherMcCurdy

An internationally recognized expert on edible & medicinal wild plants, Mark “Merriwether” Vorderbruggen, Ph.D. half-jokingly describes himself as a “scientist raised by wolves.” Merriwether's brain earned him a master's in medicinal chemistry and a Ph.D. in physical organic chemistry, but his heart has always driven him to learn and share the secrets of nature to anyone ready to hear them. His love of nature was instilled in him by his parents and grandparents, who used nature's gifts to feed and care for the family. Endless hours of his childhood were spent in the wild…and this continues on to today, where he leads plant walkabouts across Texas, teaching people the ethical way to gather food and medicine. This deep study of plants and their properties caused people to call him “Merriwether,” after the famed botanist/explorer Meriwether Lewis. His professional chemistry career was that of a healer of the Earth, developing ways to safely and cleanly interact with its gifts. Among the results of that time are fifteen patents using natural plants, microorganisms, and oyster chemistry to make the world safer. Because of his past, he was chosen to be the medicine man for Medicine Man Plant Co., a 3-person company devoted to bringing back the medicinal plants, mushrooms, and movements our ancestors evolved using. Merriwether's study of early people, combined with his scientific understanding of the human body, has led him to believe many modern health issues are because we no longer interact with nature the way we evolved. Just as our diet needs critical vitamins and minerals for proper health, we also need certain physical, mental, and social actions to avoid “lifestyle” health problems.

In this episode, we “deep dive” into diltiazem, describing its most important drug facts, pharmacology and medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, AB compatibility, and important medication safety issues. Key Concepts Diltiazem is a non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB). This type of CCB reduces both heart rate and blood pressure whereas dihydropyridine CCBs only reduce blood pressure. Diltiazem has numerous dosage forms (IV, immediate release tablets, and extended-release products). Extended-release products are always dosed once or twice daily. Historically there were a significant number of extended-release capsules with a variety of brand names and AB-compatibility. Today, only a few branded products still exist in the US market (Cardizem CD, Cartia XT, Cardizem LA, Tiazac, Taztia XT). The FDA Orange Book describes “AB” compatibility, which outlines whether one formulation is therapeutically equivalent to another formulation. Depending on state law, pharmacists can use AB compatibility codes to automatically substitute formulations without notifying the prescriber. The numerous dosage forms of diltiazem is a medication safety issue. Remember that immediate release diltiazem is always dosed TID/QID (3-4 times per day) whereas extended-release formulations are always dosed once daily. A twice-daily extended-release product was previously on the market but has since been discontinued.

Dr. Josh Bloom is an organic chemist who debunks Junk Science in his work with the American Council on Science. Hear what he has to say about opioids and pain, fentanyl, methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, and cannabis. Do Dr. Lev and Dr. Bloom agree or disagree on issues of addiction? You judge. Dr. Josh Bloom, ACSH's Director of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Science, earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry at the University of Virginia, followed by postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania. His career 20+ year first career was drug discovery research at Wyeth. During this time he participated in research in a number of therapeutic areas, including diabetes and obesity, new antibiotics, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis C. His group discovered the novel antibiotic Tygacil®, which was approved by the FDA for use against resistant bacterial infections in 2005. He is the author of 25 patents, and 35 academic papers, including a chapter on new therapies for hepatitis C in Burger's Medicinal Chemistry, Drug Discovery, and Development, 7th Edition (Wiley, 2010). Dr. Bloom, who joined the American Council on Science and Health in 2010 as Director of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, has published more than 75 op-eds in numerous periodicals, including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, New Scientist, The New York Post, National Review Online, The Boston Herald, The Baltimore Sun, The Chicago Tribune, and The New York Daily News. He has also done numerous radio and television shows and podcasts on topics related to drugs, chemicals, and most importantly, the plight of pain patients – the innocent victims of the misguided war on opioid drugs. He is now recognized as an expert in government opioid policy and was the first journalist to write a nationally published opinion piece about the unintended consequences of a governmental crackdown on prescription pain medications (New York Post, 2013). Since that time he has published more than 20 op-eds in regional and national newspapers on different aspects of the crisis. He was also the first writer (2016) to study, dissect and ultimately debunk the manipulated statistics used by the CDC to justify its recommendations for opioid prescribing, which have resulted in Draconian requirements for prescribing pain medications as well as government-mandated, involuntary tapering of patients receiving opioid treatment, both of which have caused great harm and needless suffering to chronic pain patients. His 2016 article, "Six Charts Designed to Confuse You," is considered to be the seminal work on CDC deception and has been adopted by patient advocacy groups. It has been sent to governors, senators, and state legislatures.

More than 50 years after emerging as a potential treatment for anxiety and depression, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and other chronic illnesses, psychedelics appear to be making a comeback. But where does the research stand currently on psychedelics and what do we really know about how these compounds may affect the brain?With the number of people living with mental health conditions on the rise and the re-emergence of psychedelics as a possible therapy, this topic is very timely. Some may call it a “perfect storm” – one the medical and scientific communities will need to carefully navigate, in order to tap the potential of psychedelics, safely and cautiously.Featuring:Dr. Susan Abbey is Psychiatrist-in-Chief at the University Health Network (UHN), and a Clinician Investigator with the Toronto General Hospital Research Institute.  She is also a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at The University of Toronto and the inaugural Director of the Nikean Psychedelic Psychotherapy Research Centre at UHN.Dr. Lakshmi Kotra is a Medicinal Chemist and Senior Scientist with Krembil Brain Institute and a Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at The University of Toronto.

They take a drug molecule coming out of medicinal chemistry research and make sense of its chemical synthesis. With tight deadlines they often must completely reinvent chemical syntheses to meet strict efficiency and cost requirements necessary to move drugs to commercial production. It's a challenging job that requires discipline and pragmatism, but a certain dose of chemical creativity at the same time.Patrick Fier, from Merck, represents the perfect profile of a great process chemist. He makes the most of the incredible resources and the culture of innovation available at Merck. His chemistry is creative and intriguing, he shows that unique mix of disruptive thinking and disciplined determination that is needed to design state-of-the-art chemical syntheses. And his talent gave him the opportunity to lead the development of Molnupiravir, the so-called COVID pill, one of the most promising antivirals used in severe Coronavirus cases.In this unique episode we have the rare opportunity to get to know a chemist who really played a key role in helping address the COVID pandemic. Keywords:  process chemistry, COVID, molnupiravir, COVID pill, pharmaceutical development, drug, antivirals, C-H functionalization, sulphonamides, phenol synthesis, medicinal chemistry, Merck Sharp & Dome
