  • Patent number: 12616705
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of Angelman syndrome (AS). CBD has been shown to be particularly effective in improving anxiety in rodent models of AS. The CBD is preferably substantially pure. It may take the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis such that the CBD is present at greater than 98% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterised. Alternatively, the CBD is synthetically produced. Alternatively, the CBD may be used as a botanical drug substance (BDS) from a cannabis plant in which CBD is the predominant cannabinoid. The CBD may also be present in combination with other cannabinoids and non-cannabinoid components such as terpenes. In use the CBD may be used concomitantly with one or more other medicaments. Alternatively, the CBD may be formulated for administration separately, sequentially or simultaneously with one or more medicaments or the combination may be provided in a single dosage form.

  • Publication number: 20260041698
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cannabidiol (CBD) type cannabinoid compound for use as a medicament. The CBD-type cannabinoid, cannabidiol-C1 (CBD-C1), is a naturally occurring cannabinoid that can be found in minor quantities in the cannabis plant. Furthermore, the cannabinoid can be produced by synthetic means and a method for the production of CBD-C1 is described herein. In addition, disclosed herein are data which demonstrate the efficacy of CBD-C1 in models of disease.

  • Publication number: 20250387418
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of Sturge Weber syndrome. CBD ap-pears particularly effective in reducing all types of seizures and non-seizure symptoms in patients suffering with Sturge Weber syndrome. Preferably the CBD used is in the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis such that the CBD is present at greater than 98% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterised. In particular the cannabinoid tetrahydrocan-nabinol (THC) has been substantially removed, to a level of not more than 0.15% (w/w) and the propyl analogue of CBD, cannabidivarin, (CBDV) is present in amounts of up to 1%. Alternatively, the CBD may be a synthetically produced CBD.

  • Publication number: 20240207220
    Abstract: Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid designated chemically as 2-[(IR,6R)-3-Methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]-5-pentyl-1,3-benzenediol. Its empirical formula is C21H30O2 and its molecular weight is 314.46. CBD is a cannabinoid that naturally occurs in the Cannabis sativa L. plant. CBD is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid which is insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. The present invention encompasses the surprising recognition that certain CBD preparations which are prepared from a botanical origin are more effective in treating diseases or disorders than preparations of CBD which are synthetic or purified to the extent no other impurities in the form of other cannabinoids are present. Prior CBD compositions have been prepared such that no psychoactive components, e.g., tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), remain in the final CBD preparation. Surprisingly, the absence of such minor impurities reduces the efficacy of CBD treatment.
