Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of manufacture for an oil soluble fraction of cannabis root, and its use in a variety of pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations.
  • cannabis plant has numerous known pharmaceutical and recreational uses, the largest concentration of desirable active ingredients, and historically, the most desirable parts of the plant are found above ground, most particularly, the stem, leaves, flowers, and
  • Cannabis root has been generally overlooked as a pharmaceutical source.
  • Cannabis root has relatively small concentrations of THC as compared to other portions of the plant.
  • traditional Chinese medicine dating from about 2700 BC appears to have used cannabis root as a medicinal ingredient, in a dried and ground form, to reduce pain, heal broken bones and recover from surgical wounds. It was also crushed to extract juice, or boiled to make a decoction, used as a diuretic, an anti-haemorrhagic to stop bleeding, to ease difficult childbirth and to reduce pain and swelling from bruises.
  • cannabis root was boiled in water to make a preparation that relieved joint cramps, gout and acute pain. Boiled cannabis poultices were also used to treat inflammation, gout and other ailments.
  • Cannabis root is believed to contain a complex mixture of pharmaceutically active ingredients, including terpenes such as antioxidant friedelin
  • cannabis root has relatively very low amounts of the cannabinoids generally known for cannabis’ active properties, such as cannabidiol and tertrahydrocannabinol (THC), through a complex mixture of literally dozens of active cannabinoids is present in small quantities.
  • THC cannabidiol and tertrahydrocannabinol
  • Friedelin is thought to have liver protecting and anti-tumour effects, while certain ketones found in cannabis root are thought to cause apoptosis, with certain studies suggesting they also reduce pain, inflammation, and bacterial infection.
  • cannabis root oil or a purified oil soluble fraction of cannabis root, has not been used or known as a therapeutic.
  • the cannabis root if used, is pulverized or powdered.
  • Radiation recall is a skin reaction that is a side effect of radiation therapy when it is combined with certain chemotherapy regimens. Radiation recall is an acute, though often severe, inflammatory reaction, and its cause and management is not well understood. Radiation recall is often presented as a rash or appearing like a severe sun burn. Current treatment options are limited, and are generally based on traditional anti-inflammatory drugs, such as corticosteroids.
  • radiation recall has been known to be so severe as to require delay of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy until the skin clears and can better withstand it, which is not desirable, since delay of chemotherapy, while good for the radiation recall, is often bad for the cancer treatment.
  • Cannabis has known healing properties for skin itching. Neff et al. reported a preliminary observation that pruritus due to cholestatic liver disease can be alleviated with ingestion of 5 mg marinol (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol,“THC”) administration daily
  • Fibromyalgia is a devastating condition characterized by chronic widespread pain and a heightened pain response to tactile pressure. Though the cause of fibromyalgia is not known, it is frequently associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. There is no satisfactory treatment for fibromyalgia; serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors such as duloxetine and milnacipran, and selective calcium channel inhibitors such as pregabalin are used to varying effect. In some cases, opioids are used to treat the pain.
  • fibromyalgia Although the cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, most hypotheses are to a systemic, nervous system pain processing dysfunction, which comes as a result of hyper-excitability of pain processing pathways and/or under-activity of inhibitory pain pathways. Pain-sensitive nerve cells in the spinal cord or brain may have increased reactivity. Another hypothesis relates to impairments in proinflammatory cytokine signalling, or opioid signalling. Because of this, most treatments for fibromyalgia have focused on systemic administration of small molecules that can cross the blood/brain barrier, either through ingestion or injection.
  • fibromyalgia has been correlated with increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, specifically, increased levels of interleukin- 1RA, interleukin 6 and interleukin 8, suggesting that there may be an inflammatory aspect to the disease.
  • MS Multiple Sclerosis
  • Symptoms include motor or sensory problems, optic neuritis, brainstem dysfunction, either as episodes or as a gradual worsening.
  • Spasticity, centrally mediated pain and painful spasms are some of its symptoms. It is believed to be an immune- mediated disorder, with no known cure and very few treatments.
  • oral cannabis extract was suggested as effective treatment against the spasticity, centrally mediated pain and painful spasms associated with MS.
  • topical forms of cannabis have not been used for MS, and would be counter-intuitive because MS is known to be disease primarily associated with nervous tissue in the brain and spinal cord.
  • Dysmenorrhea also known as painful periods or menstrual cramps, are typically a pain in the pelvis or lower abdomen which occurs around the time that menstruation begins, sometimes associated with bloating, headache, mood variation, and other symptoms. It is the most common menstrual disorder, with some studies suggesting it affects as many as 90% of women. Dysmenorrhea often occurs without an underlying problem, especially in women with heavy periods, irregular periods, or women with low body weight. Dysmenorrhea is also often due to, or exacerbated by, an underlying problem such as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or endometriosis.
  • Dysmenorrhea is often associated with other symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, disorientation, diarrhea, constipation, hypersensitivity to sound, light, smell or touch, and fatigue. [0023] It would be desirable to have novel, effective treatments for dysmenorrhea, specifically, menstrual pain associated with uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or endometriosis.
  • Cancer is a large family of diseases related to abnormal and/or unregulated cell growth, which may spread to other parts of the body. It is one of the most important diseases of our time, effecting an estimated 90 million people, with approximately 14 million new cases every year. Cancers have a wide variety of causes, epidemiologies, and physiologies, and are typically classified by the type of cell from which the tumor/cancerous cell originates.
  • Cancer treatments can be quite severe and invasive, and include surgery to remove the cancerous cells; chemotherapy utilizing a variety of agents, which typically act either by killing all rapidly dividing cells, or in a more targeted manner by acting at specific, known, molecular differences between cancer cells and non-cancerous cells; immunotherapy, which is loosely based on triggering or heightening the body’s immune response to the cancerous cells; and radiation therapy, which utilizes localized ionizing radiation in the region of the tumor.
  • chemotherapeutic drugs act by killing cells during the reproductive cycle, leading to the killing of the rapidly dividing cells in the tumor, but also killing other rapidly dividing cells, such as stem cells.
  • cancers such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • cannabinoid receptors type 1 and type 2 therapies using cannabinoid receptor ligands may have efficiency in reducing tumor burden in certain types of malignant lymphomas.
  • Cannabinoid receptor type 2 has been associated with cell growth and reproduction, with one study suggesting that cannabinoid receptor type 2 agonists may be able to inhibit cell growth and arrest cell reproduction at the G0/G1 stage.
  • Cancer treatments are wrought with often debilitating side effects, which can include pain, nausea, vomiting, and appetite suppression.
  • Vaginal yeast infection or Candida vulvovaginitis
  • Candida vulvovaginitis is a common affliction resulting from an excessive growth of yeast, typically Candida albicans but sometimes other Candida , or Saccaromyces cerevisiae.
  • Symptoms of vaginal yeast infection include vaginal itching, burning or pain while urinating, vaginal discharge, pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse, localized inflammation, and redness.
  • Vaginal yeast infection is usually treated with intravaginally administered anti- fungal agents, such as clotrimazole, nystatin, butoconazole, miconazole, or terconazole; or using an oral dose of fluconazole. It has been reported that up to 40% of women with vaginal yeast infections seek alternative treatments, such as herbal preparations, probiotics, cleansing diets, and gentian violet. The majority of studies of such alternative treatments are inconclusive or negative as to benefits.
  • Bacterial vaginosis sometimes called vaginal bacteriosis, is another common affliction, resulting from excessive growth of bacteria in the vagina. Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include increased vaginal discharge, and pain or burning while urinating. Bacterial vaginosis can increase the risk of infection by sexually transmitted diseases, and can increase the risk of early delivery among pregnant women.
  • Vaginitis is a broad term describing any inflammation of the vagina. It is typically a symptom of an infection of the vagina, such as a vaginal yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. It may also be caused by trichomoniasis.
  • Menopause occurs in most women between 49 and 52 years of age. It is generally defined as having occurred when a woman has not had any vaginal bleeding for a year. For a time leading up to menopause, a woman’ s periods may become irregular, either lighter or heavier, or longer or shorter. During this time, women often experience hot flashes, which typically last from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and may be associated with shivering, sweating, and reddening of the skin. Other symptoms occurring either in the time leading up to
  • menopause or post-menopause, include mood changes, vaginal dryness, and trouble sleeping. Menopause is associated with, and likely triggered by, a decrease in the ovaries’ production of estrogen and progesterone.
  • Skin care is a billion dollar industry.
  • a wide range of skin moisturizing formulations are known. Literally thousands of such products are sold, for moisturizing dry skin, removing fine lines and wrinkles, and obtaining fresh and youthful looking skin.
  • a wide range of anti-aging serum formulations are known. These are intended for maintaining the firmness, suppleness, plumpness and pliability of skin, as well as decreasing the appearance of wrinkles.
  • the total skin care market is estimated to be $116.3 billion in 2015, with some estimating the total market to be $180 billion by 2024. In one survey in 2016, 57 percent of U.S. women said it was important to buy all-natural skin care products.
  • the U.S. anti-aging skin care market was estimated to generate about 2.11 billion U.S. dollars in 2013.
  • Some of the manufacturers and suppliers of skin moisturizing formulations include Dow Chemicals, LOreal SA, Unilever PLC, Beiseidorf AG, Colgate Palmolive, Procter & Gamble, Estee Lauder, Johnson and Johnson, and Avon Product Inc. Face moisturizing products represent more than 50% of the skin moisturizing products sold.
  • Female sexual Dysfunction has been a persistent and relatively unaddressed problem, especially in an aging, sexually active population. Female sexual dysfunction, in particular, has not received as much attention or treatment as male sexual dysfunction, for which a variety of treatments currently exist.
  • Female sexual behaviour is typically described in a sexual response cycle consisting of desire, excitement, orgasm, and resolution.
  • Female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) is the persistent or recurrent inability to attain, or to maintain, sufficient sexual excitement, a lack of genital response (such as lubrication and swelling), and/or lack of other somatic responses.
  • Female sexual arousal disorder is one form of female sexual dysfunction, and is associated with the excitement phase, though it typically also results in an inability to reach orgasm and resolution.
  • a certain amount of female sexual dysfunction is related to vascular insufficiency which results in insufficient swelling, specifically, in the smooth muscle of the muscularis portion.
  • Certain vasodilators have been implicated in the mediation of vaginal vasodilation and the formation of lubricating fluid during sexual arousal. It may also be a nervous dysfunction: the vagina has significant nerve fibers, with significantly more nerve fibers in the distal areas of the vagina compared to the more proximal parts, with the anterior wall showing a denser innervation than the posterior wall.
  • Female sexual dysfunction may also be related to insufficient lubrication: the vaginal canal is lubricated primarily from a transudate originating from the subepithelial vascular bed, passively transported through intercellular channels. Additional moistening during intercourse comes from secretion from Bartholin’s glands.
  • Estrogen is also believed to effect maintenance and function of female genitalia, with estriol stimulation, vaginal lubrication, and thickness of the vaginal wall all being estrogen- dependent. Vaginal dryness can be controlled by estrogen replacement therapy.
  • the clitoris is also believed to play a major role during sexual activity in that it is not only part of what makes the sexual act enjoyable for the woman but also enhances her response to coitus upon clitoral stimulation.
  • Clitoral stimulation may induce local autonomic and somatic reflexes causing vaginal vasocongestion, engorgement, and subsequent transudation, lubricating the introital canal making the sexual act easier, more comfortable, and more pleasurable. The more stimulation, the higher the level of arousal and the easier it is to further increase stimulations.
  • a multisynaptic circuit of neurons may be involved in clitoral neurological control.
  • Autonomic innervation of the clitoris passes from the pelvic and hypogastric nerves to the clitoris through the urogenital diaphragm; pelvic nerve stimulation results in clitoral smooth muscle relaxation and arterial smooth muscle dilation.
  • Female sexual dysfunction can included disorders of desire/libido, disorders of arousal, pelvic pain disorders, and inhibited orgasm. Patient surveys estimate that 18-76% of adult women have such complaints during sexual activity.
  • THC or Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol
  • THC is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis. It is a partial agonist of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2.
  • THC is an illegal drug in many countries, medical research has been limited and often anecedotal.
  • the American Cancer Society has reported that patients with kidney cancer have required less pain medication when it was combined with cannabis extracts containing THC.
  • Smoking cannabis has been found to alleviate nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy patients.
  • Certain patients with suppressed appetite, including patients taking HIV drugs, have reported that smoking cannabis has improved and promoted food intake. Cannabis has also been documented as a pain relief agent, when inhaled.
  • cannabinoids may inhibit cancer cell proliferation and induce cancer cell apoptosis.
  • a 2013 Korean study has suggested that THC may be useful in treating stomach cancer, even drug resistant stomach cancer, by inducing apoptosis in the cancer cells.
  • cannabinoids reduce expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in cancer cells, reducing the tumor blood supply. It appears THC and CBD may have anti-metastatic properties, though the mechanism of action is not completely understood.
  • VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
  • THC has known anti-inflammatory properties for skin itching.
  • Neff et al. reported a preliminary observation that pruritus due to cholestatic liver disease can be alleviated with ingestion of 5 mg marinol (THC) administration daily (American Journal of Gastroenterology, 97, 2117-2119 (2002).
  • Schlosburg et al. reported that systemic THC administration reduced scratching response in mice in a pruritus model involving subcutaneous administration of the mast cell degranulator compound 48/80, which evoked an intense, concentration-dependent scratching response (Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 329(1) 314-323, 2009).
  • THC-containing topical medications including lotions, balms and oils, are known and utilized for localized relief of pain, soreness and inflammation.
  • CBD [0058] Cannabidiol is one of the active ingredients found in Cannabis. It is believed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety and anti-epileptic properties.
  • Ashwagandha oil is an essential oil made from the root of the ashwagandha plant, also known as Withania Somnifera.
  • the root is also known as Indian Ginseng, Winter Cherry, or poison gooseberry.
  • Ashwagandha oil is a steam distilled extract of the root of the plant.
  • Ashwagandha oil has been used and known in the Ayurvedic system of medicine for centuries, and has been used to increase immunity to infection and disease, for treatment of arthritis, cramps and pains, and for its analgesic effects.
  • the oil has been used as an anti- depressive, and in massage oil for relief of stress and anxiety.
  • oil of Ashwagandha has also been used in the treatment of insomnia, and is known for its potential to promote sleep. Made into a tonic, it has been used for rheumatism, insomnia, arthritis, impotence, fatigue, and depression.
  • Ashwaganda root extract has been seen to have anticonvulasant effects; pretreatment with root extract is believed to have an anti-parkinsonian effect. It is claimed to be the most powerful aphrodisiac known to civilization; believed to be useful for treating loss of libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, as well as, in women, to strengthen the uterine walls, ovaries and ligaments to support pregnancy.
  • Ashwagandha has been found to stimulate nitric oxide production. Nitric oxide is believed to be involved in the mediation of clitoral and arterial smooth muscle dilation.
  • Ashwaganda oil contains alkaloids, including anaferine, isopelletierine (l-(l-Methyl-2- piperidinyl)acetone), anahygrine, cuscohygrine, psudeotropine, tropanol, and pellertierine, steroidal lactones, including withaferins and withanolides, as well as saponins. It is commercially available.
  • Anaferine is known as an immunomodulatory which induces interferon alpha.
  • Suscohygrine is known as a CNS stimulant.
  • THC has not been used topically in a female sexual lubricant, or as a treatment of female sexual dysfunction.

  • the combination of THC, ashwagandha oil, and cannabis root oil has accordingly also never been used.
  • Hyaluronic acid is found in the basal layer of the epidermis, where proliferating keratinocytes are found. It appears to play an important role in the normal epidermis, and may function in the re-epithelization process. It serves as an integral part of the extracellular matrix of basal keratinocytes and may have both a free-radical scavenging function and a role in keratinocyte proliferation and migration.
  • HA has water retention properties and certain formulations of HA are commercially available as Restylane ®, an injectable formulation used for lip volume enhancement, to diminish wrinkles and aging lines, and for filling aging-related facial hollows, such as those under the eyes) and for contouring of the chin, forehead, and nose.
