Benefits of technology

[0039]In accordance with a sixth aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of treating epilepsy comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of 7-hydroxy-cannabidiol (7-OH-CBD) and / or 7-hydroxy-cannabidivarin (7-OH-CBDV) to a subject in need thereof.

Problems solved by technology

However, 30% of this patient group, (Eadie et al., 2012), are unable to obtain seizure freedom from the AED that are available and as such are termed as suffering from “treatment-resistant epilepsy” (TRE).
Individuals who develop epilepsy during the first few years of life are often difficult to treat and as such are often termed treatment-resistant.
Children who undergo frequent seizures in childhood are often left with neurological damage which can cause cognitive, behavioral and motor delays.
Childhood epilepsy can be caused by many different syndromes and genetic mutations and as such diagnosis for these children may take some time.
However no data is presented to support the use of 7-OH-CBD as an anti-convulsant.

Efficacy of 7-Hydroxy Cannabidiol (7-OH-CBD) and 7-Hydroxy Cannabidivarin (7-OH-CBDV) in the Ptz Model of Seizure

Materials and Methods

Compounds:

[0054]The compounds 7-OH CBD and 7-OH-CBDV have never been tested in a model of epilepsy and as such the effects were examined at one dose level in order to determine efficacy.

[0055]The hydroxy-metabolites of CBD and CBDV were also tested against their parent cannabinoids which were used as positive controls. The table below details the doses used in this study.

CompoundDose (mg / kg)Vehicle—CBDV2007-OH-CBDV200CBD1007-OH CBD100

General Methodology for PTZ Model

Animals

[0056]Male Wistar rats (P24-29; 75-110 g) were used to assess the effects of the cannabinoids listed above on the PTZ model of generalised seizures. Animals were habituated to the test environment, cages, injection protocol and handling prior to experimentation. Animals were housed in a room at 21° C. on a 12 hour light: dark cycle (lights on 0900) in 50% humidity, with free access ...

Efficacy of 7-Hydroxy Cannabidivarin (7-OH-CBDV) in the Maximal Electroshock (Mes) Model of Seizure

Preparation of Test and Reference Compounds

[0072]The vehicle used in this study was 2:1:17 (ethanol:Cremophor:0.9% w / v NaCl). The test compound used was 7-OH-CBDV. This was made to a solution at the highest concentration; then dissolved in ethanol before combination with Cremophor and 0.9% NaCl in the proportion described above. The 7-OH-CBDV was administered intraperitoneally at a volume of 10 ml / kg body weight.

Test System

[0073]Animal Species / Strain: Mouse / ICR, Microbiological grade: SPF, Inc. Sex: male, Age (at time of testing): 5-7 weeks old, Number of animals: about 5 animals per group. Temperature: 23±2° C., Humidity: 60±10%, Light conditions: 7 AM to 7 PM for the light period, 7 PM to 7 AM for the dark period. Chow and water: Free access to CRF-1 (Oriental Yeast Co, Ltd) and tap water.

Experimental Procedures

[0074]One day before each experiment, mice were weighed and randomized in...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of 7-hydroxy-cannabidol (7-OH-CBD) and/or 7-hydroxy-cannabidivarin (7-OH-CBDV) in the treatment of epilepsy. Preferably the cannabinoid metabolites are isolated from plants to produce a highly purified extract or can be reproduced synthetically.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to the use of 7-hydroxy-cannabidol (7-OH-CBD) and / or 7-hydroxy-cannabidivarin (7-OH-CBDV) in the treatment of epilepsy.[0002]Preferably the cannabinoid metabolites are isolated from plants to produce a highly purified extract or can be reproduced synthetically.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0003]Epilepsy occurs in approximately 1% of the population worldwide, (Thurman et al., 2011) of which 70% are able to adequately control their symptoms with the available existing anti-epileptic drugs (AED). However, 30% of this patient group, (Eadie et al., 2012), are unable to obtain seizure freedom from the AED that are available and as such are termed as suffering from “treatment-resistant epilepsy” (TRE).[0004]There are several different types of AED available to treat epilepsy, some of the most common AED defined by their mechanisms of action are described in the following tables:Examples of Narrow Spectrum AED[0005]Narrow-spectrum AEDMechanismPhenytoinSodiu...
