Study Finds Powder-Based CBD Formulation Dramatically Improves Stability Over Oil
According to a study being published in the August issue of the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, and published online ahead of print by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, how cannabidiol (CBD) is formulated plays a major role in how well it holds up over time, with powder-based systems significantly outperforming traditional oil …
Study: CBD Reduces Seizure Frequency in Patients With Rare Epilepsy Syndromes
A new multicenter study has found that highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) significantly reduces seizure frequency in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome (DS), and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated epilepsy. Researchers in Germany conducted a retrospective review of medical records from 202 patients who received at least one dose of Epidyolex, a 100 mg/mL oral …
Study: CBD Inhibits Osteosarcoma by Targeting Tumor-Driving Inflammation
A new study published in Phytomedicine finds that cannabidiol (CBD) can significantly inhibit the growth and spread of osteosarcoma, a highly aggressive bone cancer, by targeting a key inflammatory pathway. “Osteosarcoma remains a therapeutic challenge due to its aggressive behavior and high metastatic potential, necessitating exploration of novel treatment modalities”, states the study’s abstract. “Cannabidiol …
Study: Clinical Trial Finds CBD/CBDA Safe for Dogs Undergoing Chemotherapy
A new randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial has found that short-term supplementation with CBD/CBDA-rich hemp oil appears safe and well-tolerated in dogs receiving chemotherapy for lymphoma. The study, conducted by researchers from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, the University of California, and the University of Florida, was published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine. …
Study: Cannabidiol Reduces Seizures and Extends Lifespan in Animal Model of Rare Genetic Epilepsy
Researchers have found that cannabidiol (CBD) significantly reduces seizures and extends survival in a mouse model of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy type 1 (DEE1), a rare and drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy. The study, published in Epilepsia, involved a collaboration between researchers from the National Research Council of Italy, the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, the …
Study: Nanofiber System Combining CBD and Levosulpiride Improves Brain Delivery for Anxiety and Depression Treatment
A new preclinical study published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics has found that combining cannabidiol (CBD) with levosulpiride in a novel nanofiber-based delivery system significantly enhances brain-targeted therapy for anxiety and depression. Researchers from the School of Pharmaceutical Education and Research in India developed a supramolecular inclusion complex (Levo-CBD-C-P-IC), incorporating CBD and levosulpiride within …
Study: CBD Shown to Protect Human Cartilage Cells From Ferroptosis, a Key Contributor to Osteoarthritis
A new study published in the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine finds that cannabidiol (CBD) may help protect human cartilage cells from ferroptosis, a specific type of cell death linked to the development of osteoarthritis and other orthopedic diseases. Researchers at Paracelsus Medical University evaluated the effects of CBD on human articular chondrocytes exposed …
Study: CBD Oil-Infused Biopolymer Film Packaging Withstands Moisture, Degrades Quickly, and Kills Bacteria
A new study published in Polymer Testing explores how hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) oil and boronic acid-functionalized chitosan can be used to create more durable, sustainable, and antimicrobial biopolymer packaging. Researchers from Copernicus University and Poznan University in Poland developed starch-based films infused with 3% cannabis oil, then enhanced them through a cross-linking technique using chitosan …
