Definitions
- Epilepsy deleteriously affects millions of people worldwide.
- CBD cannabidiol
- Forming one aspect of the invention is a composition for use in the treatment of epilepsy, the composition comprising at least one cannabinoid and at least one omega-3 fatty acid.
- the composition can be in the form of an oil in water emulsion.
- the at least one cannabinoid is dissolved in the at least one omega-3 fatty acid and the at least one omega-3 fatty acid can define the oil in the oil in water emulsion.
- the at least one cannabinoid can comprise cannabidiol (CBD).
- CBD cannabidiol
- the at least one omega-3 fatty acid can comprise one or more of Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
- DHA Docosahexaenoic acid
- EPA Eicosapentaenoic acid
- the weight ratio of the at least one cannabinoid to the at least one omega-3 fatty acid can be about 1 :1
- the weight ratio of DHA to EPA can be about 1 :1
- Fig. 1 shows the effects of two preparations of CBD in the MES model in mice.
- composition was prepared with the following ingredients, expressed in weight %
- the CBD was isolate powder.
- the fish oil was unoxidized (fresh) with roughly equal amounts DHA and EPA.
- the stabilizer was LSO NanoStabilizer obtained from Sonomechanics (USA).
- the composition was tested using the Maximal Electroshock Seizure (MES) Model. This is an established procedure to provide an indication of a compound’s ability to prevent seizure spread.
- mice Male, CF-1 male mice (18-25 grams) were used as subjects. They were housed under standard conditions in the vivarium at the CCBR. They were given 2 days (minimum) to acclimate before testing began.
- Drugs and Doses CBD was provided in pure form and in the described composition. Two four-point dose-response curves were done, one for the pure form CBD and one for the described composition. Ten mice were tested at each dose. (Mice were not re-used.) Compounds were injected intraperitoneally. Testing was done 2 hours after injection. Drugs were injected at a constant volume, and were diluted as necessary using a vehicle of 1 :1: 18 (Cremophor : alcohol : saline). Dilution is necessary to achieve volumes large enough for injection. Doses were: 0 (vehicle), 25, 50, 100, 200 mg/kg. A 400 mg/kg dose was added later to extend the standard CBD curve.
- the MES stimulus consisted of 0.2 sec of 60 Hz since-wave current administered at an intensity of 50 mA via corneal electrodes. The percentage of mice protected against the tonic hindlimb extension component of the resulting seizure was measured. Mice were then euthanized following the procedure.
- Toxicity Assessment Ataxia (impaired movement) was assessed using the Loscher scale and was done just before the MES test.
- Figure 1 shows dose-response curve for the antiseizure effects of the two forms of CBD in the MES test in mice.
- the ED50 (effective dose to protect 50% of mice) for regular CBD was 162 mg/kg and the ED50 for the described composition was 105 mg/kg.
- the ED50 for the described formulation was considerably lower. This difference was statistically significant.
- the described composition produced some toxicity at the highest dose, which suggests that more CBD was getting into the brain.
- mice Male, CF-1 male mice (18-25 grams) were used as subjects. They were housed under standard conditions in a vivarium at the University of Toronto (CCBR). They were given 2 days (minimum) to acclimate before testing began.
- CCBR University of Toronto
- Drugs and Doses CBD was provided in the form of: 1) standard CBD isolate, 2) CBD in DHA/EPA without emulsification (2% DHA, 2% EPA, 12% “stabilizer”), 3) CBD emulsified in DHA/EPA to produce larger particles (66.2 nm diameter) and 4) CBD emulsified in DHA/EPA to produce smaller particles (32.7 nm diameter).
- Drugs were injected intraperitoneally at a constant volume, and were diluted as necessary using a vehicle of 1 :1 :18 (Cremophor : alcohol : saline). Dilution is necessary to achieve volumes large enough for injection.
- Doses of CBD ranged from 0 (vehicle) to 400 mg/kg. As in our past studies, the MES stimulus was given 2 hours after injection. Dose-response curves were done for each formulation.
- the MES stimulus consisted of 0.2 sec of 60 Hz since-wave current administered at an intensity of 50 mA via corneal electrodes. The percentage of mice protected against the tonic hindlimb extension component of the resulting seizure was measured. Mice were used only once and euthanized following the procedure.
- Toxicity Assessment Ataxia was assessed using the Loscher scale and was done just before the MES test. Loscher scores of 2-5 were scored a “toxicity present”.
- Statistical Analysis ED50 for protection i.e. , 50% of mice show protection was determined using the Litchfield and Wilcoxon method as implemented by the LW1949 package (ver. 1.1.0) in the RStudio (2022.07.2) programming environment (Adams et al., 2016; Litchfield and Wilcoxon, 1949). ED50’s are presented with 95% confidence intervals. The ED50 for the different formulations were compared using the z-test method described by Austin and Hux (2002). A ztest statistic greater than 1.96 (P ⁇ 0.05) was considered significant when 95% confidence intervals overlapped. The Litchfield/Wilcoxon method could not be applied to the toxicity data for technical reasons, so TD50s were calculated from line plots.
- Figure 2 A, B, C and D shows dose-response curves for the four formulations in the MES test in mice.
- the ED50 (effective dose to protect 50% of mice) for regular CBD in the standard vehicle was 146 mg/kg (Figure 2A).
- the ED50 for CBD in DHA/EPA was tested to determine whether DHA/EPA alone increased CBD’s effectiveness.
- the ED50 for CBD in DHA/EPA without emulsification was 212 mg/kg, which is higher than the ED50 for CBD alone ( Figure 1 B). This difference when compared to CBD in the standard vehicle was not significant, but the findings do not suggest that adding DHA/EPA improves CBD’s anti-seizure effects.
- the ED50 for the large particle emulsification in DHA/EPA was 121 mg/kg, which is lower than the ED50 for CBD alone ( Figure 2C). This difference when compared to CBD in the standard vehicle was not significant.
- the ED50 for the small particle emulsification in DHA/EPA was 102 mg/kg (Figure 2D). This difference when compared to CBD in the standard vehicle was significant.
- FIG. 3 A and B present the toxicity data for CBD alone and CBD emulsified to smaller particles. Neither of the other preparations showed any toxicity up to doses of 400 mg/kg.
- CBD alone showed a TD25 at 400 mg/kg, the highest dose tested. It is speculated that the TD50 would be higher than 400 mg/kg ( Figure 3A).
- the TD50 for CBD emulsified to small particles was 300 mg/kg ( Figure 3B). This is lower than the TD50 for CBD alone, consistent with the idea that more CBD crosses barriers in the small particle formulation.
- the therapeutic index (TD50/ED50) for CBD in the small particle is still about 3, which is in the acceptable range.
- CBD emulsified into small particles was the most effective formulation.
- the ED50 for CBD emulsified into small particles was the lowest, and was significantly different from CBD alone.
- omega-3 fatty acid can be utilized, other stabilizers can be utilized and the weight ratio of fatty acid to cannabinoid can be varied.
- the ratio of cannabinoid to omega 3 can vary between 1.5:1 and 4:1.
- intraperitoneal injection was utilized, other forms are injection could be utilized.
- many drugs introduced intraperitonally can also be introduced orally.
