  • Patent number: 11939325
    Abstract: A process of manufacturing biologically active compounds, their analogs, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, polymorphs, isotopic variants, and intermediates thereof. Notably, the compounds of the formula IA, 1B, 1C. 1D. 1E, 1F and IG for which novel processes have been disclosed, selectively act on the cannabinoid receptors, and with high affinity. The processes for the preparation of the compounds enable the syntheses of cannabinoid modulators on a large-scale that are eco-friendly and economically viable. Additionally, the processes disclosed enable the synthesis of cannabinoid modulators with high purity and in high yield for their use in making drug substance and drug products.

  • Publication number: 20230234928
    Abstract: Several biological targets have been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung, liver, renal and prostrate fibrotic proliferative diseases. While cannabinoid receptor-mediated signaling has emerged as a novel signaling pathway regulating fibrogenesis and inflammation, the present invention relates generally to biologically active compounds capable of interacting with one or more biological targets including the CB1 and/or the CB2 cannabinoid receptors, and comprise of neutral antagonists, neutral-peripheral antagonists, peripheral antagonists/inverse-agonists, compounds with mixed properties including CB1 antagonist/CB2 agonist properties, and allosteric properties for treating fibrosis of the liver, lung, kidney and the prostrate, and inflammatory conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia.

  • Publication number: 20220033393
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds that can act as antidotes for treating “Acute Cannabinoid Overdose” produced by classical cannabinoids such as ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and several synthetic psychoactive cannabinoids (SPCs). The cannabis constituent THC exerts its psychotropic effects via CB1 receptor activation and SPCs mimic the effects of THC with higher potency and severe neurotoxicity. Compounds disclosed in this invention, their enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers, racemates, tautomers, rotamers, atropisomers, metabolites, N-oxides, salts, solvates, hydrates, isotopic variations and their polymorphic forms can be therapeutically useful in an emergency setting for counteracting the intoxicating effects of acute THC ingestion and SPC overdose. Also, aspects of the invention are concerned with pyrazoles, imidazoles, triazoles, thiazoles, oxazoles, dihydropyrazoles, pyrrolidinones, azetidines, oxyazetidines and azaspiro[3.
