Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for promoting infant feeding, growth or development comprising administering to an infant a formula or a pharmaceutical composition comprising an endocannabinoid in an amount sufficient to promote feeding, growth or development. The present invention also relates to an infant formula comprising an enhanced amount of an endocannabinoid. The infant formula of the invention may be in a powder form or in a liquid form. The infant formula or the pharmaceutical composition may further comprise an endocannabinoid-promoting compound.

Abstract: Cannabinoid derivatives are known for their function in the central as well as peripheral nervous system. Disclosed are some novel (+)-cannabidiol (CBD) derivatives of the general formula (I) having selective activity in the peripheral, but not in the central nervous system. Use of (+)-CBD derivatives as analgesics, anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal agents is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cannabidiol derivatives and to pharmaceutical compositions comprising cannabidiol derivatives being antiinflammatory agents having analgesic, antianxiety, anticonvulsive, neuroprotective, antipsychotic and anticancer activity. The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of cannabidiol derivatives. It also relates to the use of cannabidiol derivatives and of pharmaceutical compositions comprising same in the preparation of a medicament, in a method of the treatment of human beings with cannabidiol derivatives or with a pharmaceutical preparations comprising same.

Abstract: The described subject matter relates to the use of incensole, incensole acetate, and derivatives thereof, for the treatment, prevention or amelioration of diseases or conditions, including inflammatory-associated conditions; a disease or condition where neuroprotection is required; and a disease or condition selected from depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive behaviors, deterioration in cognitive function, and deterioration in neurobehavioral function. Pharmaceutical compositions and method of treatment, prevention or amelioration of the above-mentioned diseases or conditions are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides novel pharmaceutical compositions comprising as the active ingredient 4-phenyl pinene derivatives which are specific for the peripheral cannabinoid receptors. In particular, the compounds of the invention binds efficiently to CB2 but do not bind to CB1. The compounds show no activity in behavioral tests in mice which together have been shown to be specific for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)- type activity in the central nervous system mediated by CB1 but reduce blood pressure, block intestinal motility, and elicit anti-inflammatory and peripheral analgetic activity. The invention also relates to methods of treating, preventing, or managing hypertension, inflammation, pain, gastrointestinal diseases, autoimmune diseases, and tumors with the compounds of the invention.
