  • Publication number: 20230201130
    Abstract: Disclosed is a description and methods for formulating oral films containing lipophilic active ingredient(s), more particularly lipophilic active having a positive logP. The method involves dispersing the lipophilic active(s) in a carrier oil and uniformly distributing them as emulsified oil droplets into a polymer matrix. The methods reported here produce oral films containing a stable emulsion with up to 40% oil phase. The oil phase consists of the carrier oil and lipophilic active(s). This offers the possibility to enhance the amount of lipophilic actives to be included in the film formulation while preserving the film characteristics. The resulting oral films offer a standardized dosage form for lipophilic actives as well as easier and more convenient administration, transportation, handling, and storage.

  • Publication number: 20210315817
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cannabinoid based dry or aqueous self-emulsification system for infusing a composition with a cannabinoid. The self-emulsification system comprises: a) at least one cannabinoid in a carrier oil; b) a plurality of self-emulsifiers having a targeted combined HLB value; and c) a targeted plurality of self-emulsifiers to oil ratio; wherein b) and c) operate to solubilize at least 1 mg of the cannabinoid in 1 mL of the composition. The dry self-emulsification system is in the form of a self-emulsifiable solid which spontaneously forms an emulsion after the addition of an aqueous medium, whereas the composition spontaneously forms an emulsion upon dilution of the aqueous self-emulsification system with water.
