  • Publication number: 20240091241
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a cannabidiol (CBD) preparation in the treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy. In particular the CBD preparation is characterized by chemical components and/or functional properties that distinguish them from prior CBD compositions. Preferably the CBD used is in the form of a botanically derived purified CBD which comprises greater than or equal to 98% (w/w) CBD and less than or equal to 2% (w/w) of other cannabinoids. The other cannabinoids present are THC at a concentration of less than or equal to 0.1% (w/w); CBD-Cl at a concentration of less than or equal to 0.15% (w/w); CBDV at a concentration of less than or equal to 0.8% (w/w); and CBD-C4 at a concentration of less than or equal to 0.4% (w/w). The botanically derived purified CBD preferably also comprises a mixture of both trans-THC and cis-THC. Alternatively, a synthetically produced CBD is used.

  • Patent number: 11922729
    Abstract: Commercial interactions with non-discretized items such as liquids in carafes or other dispensers are detected and associated with actors using images captured by one or more digital cameras including the carafes or dispensers within their fields of view. The images are processed to detect body parts of actors and other aspects therein, and to not only determine that a commercial interaction has occurred but also identify an actor that performed the commercial interaction. Based on information or data determined from such images, movements of body parts associated with raising, lowering or rotating one or more carafes or other dispensers may be detected, and a commercial interaction involving such carafes or dispensers may be detected and associated with a specific actor accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20240033229
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of Sturge Weber syndrome. CBD appears 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 tetrahydrocannabinol (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.

  • Patent number: 11865102
    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.

  • Patent number: 11752111
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of cannabidivarin (CBDV) in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ASD-associated disorders such as Fragile X syndrome (FXS); Rett syndrome (RS); or Angelman syndrome (AS). In a further embodiment the invention relates to the use of CBDV in the treatment of schizophrenia. CBDV has been shown to be particularly effective in improving cognitive dysfunction in rodent models of ASD, FXS, RS, AS and schizophrenia. The CBDV is preferably substantially pure. It may take the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis such that the CBDV is present at greater than 95% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterised. Alternatively, the CBDV is synthetically produced.

  • Publication number: 20230263744
    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.
