Abstract

The current disclosure provides use of N-acylated fatty amino acids to reduce absorption variability in cannabinoid-based compositions.

Claims (19)

1. A method of reducing cannabinoid blood absorption inter-subject variability, the method comprising:

administering to a plurality of subjects an oral formulation comprising a cannabinoid with an aqueous solubility of less than 0.1 mg/ml selected from:

Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabinol (CBN), cannabinodiol (CBDL), cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabivarin (CBV), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabichromevarin (CBCV), cannabigerovarin (CBGV), cannabigerol monomethyl ether (CBGM), cannabinol propyl variant (CBNV), cannabitriol (CBO), and/or mixtures thereof;

and an N-acylated fatty amino acid or salt thereof having a formula:

wherein X is sodium or potassium, and Z is hydrogen,

wherein the weight/weight (w/w) ratio of cannabinoid/N-acylated fatty amino acid or salt thereof within the oral formulation is 1:6 or 1:10;

thereby reducing the cannabinoid blood absorption inter-subject variability,

wherein the reduced cannabinoid blood absorption inter-subject variability is evidenced by a coefficient of variation (% CV) of area under a plasma concentration-time curve that is less than 50%.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oral formulation comprising the cannabinoid and the N-acylated fatty amino acid or salt thereof comprises a powder or an oral solution.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oral formulation comprises

50 mg cannabidiol (CBD) and 300 mg N-acylated fatty amino acid or salt thereof;

10 mg Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 100 mg N-acylated fatty amino acid or salt thereof;

50 mg CBD and 500 mg N-acylated fatty amino acid or salt thereof; or

30 mg CBD and 300 mg N-acylated fatty amino acid or salt thereof.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cannabinoid comprises cannabidiol (CBD).

5. The method of claim 1 , the N-acylated fatty amino acid or salt thereof comprises sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl) amino] caprylate (SNAC).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oral formulation comprises a gelatin capsule.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oral formulation further comprises flavonoid compounds, terpenes, or terpenoids.

8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the powder is formed by wet granulation.
