Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for treating seizure disorders such as epilepsy in humans and animals using, in a first embodiment, the combination of (i) an effective amount of a barbiturate drug, such as phenobarbital or primidone, which solely enhances GABAergic inhibition in a patient suffering a seizure disorder; and (ii) phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) in a dosage amount sufficient to overcome the hepatic metabolic effect stimulated by the barbiturate drug and provide bioavailable CBD to the patient in clinically efficacious amounts.

Abstract: There is provided herein a method of treating a poikilothermic organism, such as marine bivalves, in a decreasing temperature environment which method comprises exposing the organism to a source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) at temperatures of from 18° C. to about 12° C., and then exposing the organism to a source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) at temperatures of from about 11° C. to about 5° C. There is also provided herein a method of just conducting the first or second exposing step without the other, and also a method of using a decrease in temperature to catalyze the organism to produce EPA and/or DHA and/or non-methylene-interrupted fatty acids (NMIs).

Abstract: Compounds suitable for use in providing male contraception, an assay method for identifying such compounds, and methods of providing contraception using the compounds, are provided. In one embodiment, the compounds described herein mimic the binding of anti-EPPIN antibodies to EPPIN, and thus inhibit the forward motility of sperm in humans and other primates. In another embodiment, the compounds described herein inhibit or enhance EPPIN-semenogelin binding, and inhibit forward motility of sperm. The assays described herein identify compounds which inhibit sperm motility, and can be carried out in a high throughput manner, using labeled recombinant EPPIN and semenogelin. The compounds can be used in oral or transdermal compositions to temporarily and reversibly inhibit male fertility. They can also be used in addition to, or in place of, spermicides in spermicidal compositions, such as those used in conjunction with condoms, diaphragms, and spermicidal jellies.
