Allosteric modulation of CB 1 is therapeutically advantageous compared to orthosteric activation as it potentially offers reduced on-target adverse effects. ORG27569 is an allosteric modulator that increases orthosteric agonist binding to CB 1 but decreases functional signalling. ORG27569 is characterised by a delay in disinhibition of agonist-induced cAMP inhibition (lag); however, the mechanism behind this kinetic lag is yet...

Nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are common in pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic systems. Although their exact solutions cannot generally be determined via algebraic methods, their rapid and accurate solutions are desirable. Thus, numerical methods have a critical role. Inductive Linearization was proposed as a method to solve systems of nonlinear ODEs. It is an iterative approach that converts a nonlinear ODE in...
