Consumption marker identification and characterization is paramount in confirming their use. The benzodiazepine core structure is a fusion of benzene and a seven-membered heterocycle with two nitrogen atoms forming the diazepine ring. Minor variations on the core structure produce different classes of benzodiazepines with marked differences in physiological effects. The present review provides a comprehensive designer benzodiazepines metabolism overview and suggests suitable human consumption biomarkers for toxicology casework. A systematic literature search of PubMed<sup>®</sup>, Scopus<sup>TM</sup>, Web of Science<sup>TM</sup>, and Cochrane databases was conducted independently by two coauthors adhering to PRISMA guidelines. Data from 30 <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> models of designer benzodiazepines metabolism from January 2007 to February 2023 were included. 1,4-benzodiazepines (<i>n</i> = 10), 2,3-benzodiazepines (<i>n</i> = 1), triazolo-benzodiazepines (<i>n</i> = 9), and thieno-triazolo-benzodiazepines (<i>n</i> = 3) study design, sample pretreatment, analytical techniques, and major metabolites detected in various matrices are addressed.

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and in recent years, it has gained attention as a candidate drug for OA treatment. This article provides an overview of the research status on the role and mechanisms of resveratrol in treating OA. It has been found that resveratrol can prevent the development of OA by inhibiting inflammatory responses, protecting chondrocytes, maintaining cartilage homeostasis, promoting autophagy, and has shown certain therapeutic effects. This process may be related to the regulation of signaling pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1).

Pharmacogenetics (PGx) is the study of the impact of genetic variation on pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and adverse drug reactions. Genetic variation in pharmacogenes, including drug metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters, is common and can increase the risk of adverse drug events or contribute to reduced efficacy. In this review, we summarize clinically actionable genetic variants, and touch on methodologies such as genotyping patient DNA to identify genetic variation in targeted genes, and deep mutational scanning as a high-throughput <i>in vitro</i> approach to study the impact of genetic variation on protein function and/or expression <i>in vitro</i>. We highlight the utility of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to integrate genetic and chemical inhibitor and inducer data for more accurate human PK simulations.

This review delves into the intricacies of intestinal pharmacokinetic interactions between botanical natural products and drugs, such as alterations in drug solubility, permeability, transporter activity, and enzyme-mediated metabolism. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how drug solubility, dissolution, and osmolality interplay with botanical constituents in the gastrointestinal tract, potentially altering drug absorption and systemic exposure. Unlike reviews that focus primarily on enzyme and transporter mechanisms, this article highlights the lesser known but equally important mechanisms of interaction. Applying the Biopharmaceutics Drug Disposition Classification System (BDDCS) can serve as a framework for predicting and understanding these interactions. Through a comprehensive examination of specific botanical natural products such as byakkokaninjinto, green tea catechins, goldenseal, spinach extract, and quercetin, we illustrate the diversity of these interactions and their dependence on the physicochemical properties of the drug and the botanical constituents involved. This understanding is vital for healthcare professionals to effectively anticipate and manage potential natural product-drug interactions, ensuring optimal patient therapeutic outcomes.
