Abdominal pain is a common symptom associated with irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel diseases(IBDs),affecting about 20%of the global population(Grundy et al.,2019).Current pain therapies are poorly effective on visceral pain of intestinal origin and present several side effects,hence the need to identify novel molecular and cellular targets for drug development.

Homeostasis of monoaminergic pathways is compromised in aging and neurodegenerative/neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and depression. On the other hand, their modulation has also been linked to the mechanism of action of several drugs. Therefore, monitoring the levels of noradrenaline(NA), adrenaline(AD), dopamine(DA), and serotonin(5-HT), as well as those of tryptophan(TRYP), the precursor of 5-HT, and DA metabolites, namely 3,4-dihydroxyphenylaceticacid(DOPAC) and homovanillicacid(HVA), is fundamental for assessing disease severity and progression. This work aimed to develop and validate the first High-Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC) coupled with fluorescence detector(FLD) method that simultaneously and accurately quantifies NA, AD, DA, DOPAC, HVA, 5-HT and TRYP in mouse brain and prefrontal cortex(PFC) matrices. Previous sample preparation by protein precipitation was required to extract the compounds. Calibration curves were plotted using the background subtraction approach to reduce the interference of the endogenous analytes. Intra and inter-day accuracy and precision were within the ranges defined by ICH(The International Council for Harmonisation) guideline for bioanalytical method validation. Following validation, the impact of cannabidiol(CBD), cannabigerol(CBG), and cannabidivarin(CBDV) was explored in mice brains post-administration,revealing significant alterations in specific neurotransmitter levels upon cannabinoid exposure and shedding light on the complex modulation of neurochemical dynamics by cannabinoids. This research highlights the fit-for-purpose of the HPLC-FLD method and provides insights into potential mechanisms underlying phytocannabinoid actions in the central nervous system(CNS).

In pat i e nt s,a s well as in animal mod e l s,hypersensitivity to external stimuli(hyperalgesia and allodynia)or spontaneous pain is often the first,and the most disabling,symptom of neuropathy(Davis et al.,2020).The increased activity of sensitive neurons drives pain development,making ion channel modulation a fundamental target for current pharmacotherapy as well as one of the most investigated by the R&D departments of pharmaceutical companies(Bennett et al.,2019).
