[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 262,457, filed October 13, 2021, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 269,308, filed March 14, 2022, the entire disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]
[0002] A recent survey by the American Holistic Veterinary Medicine Association found that approximately 60% of people who purchase cannabis products online use these products on their dogs. Industrial hemp products, which are low in THC (0.3%) and high in other cannabinoids, are reported to have health benefits including painkillers, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-anxiety agents, and anti-epileptic agents, and are legal according to the Industrial Hemp Act. Numerous online companies selling cannabis products containing CBD, CBG, and other oils claim that they are safe and effective for a variety of medical conditions in both pets and people. There is very little published data to support these claims, and no data exists showing the safety of using CBD, CBG, and other oils concurrently with chemotherapy in veterinary patients. In the absence of optimal treatments for these dogs for pain, epilepsy, or cancer, other potentially effective agents, including cannabinoids, are often sought. Summary of the Invention

[0073] The endocannabinoid receptor system is known to play a role in pain regulation and attenuation of inflammation. Cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) are widely distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and are also present in the synovial membrane. However, the psychotropic effects of certain cannabinoids have prevented extensive research into their use as single agents for pain relief. Cannabinoids are a group of as many as 60 different compounds that may or may not act on CB receptors.
[0074] Epilepsy The use of cannabinoid derivatives in the treatment of various neurological disorders in humans has been explored recently, particularly in the treatment of chronic pain and epilepsy. Full-spectrum cannabinoid-rich industrial hemp products containing less than 0.3% THC have been shown to have no psychotropic effects and moderate activity through non-cannabinoid receptor pathways affecting serotonergic, glycinergic, and GABAergic neurotransmitter pathways. Recent studies using full-spectrum cannabinoid-rich HBN have revealed the efficacy of these products in dogs with chronic pain (Wakshlag et al., Front Vet Sci, 2018). Furthermore, human epilepsy studies, and the launch of Epidiolex as a viable treatment, show the benefits of cannabidiol in the treatment of epilepsy, but there are no published studies evaluating the efficacy of HBN in canine epilepsy models. It remains to be evaluated whether treatment of refractory canine epilepsy with HBN reduces seizure number or duration, and whether it alters the metabolism of other drugs commonly used for seizure control in dogs.
[0075] Postoperative pain relief The use of cannabinoid derivatives in the treatment of various neurological disorders in humans has been recently explored, especially in the treatment of chronic pain and epilepsy. Industrial hemp-based dietary supplements (HBN), rich in full-spectrum cannabinoids with less than 0.3% THC, have been shown to have no psychoactive effects and moderate activity through non-cannabinoid receptor pathways affecting serotonergic, glycinergic, and GABA neurotransmitter pathways, potentially reducing pain and inflammation. Recent studies in chronic pain have demonstrated their efficacy. HBN has been shown to reduce chronic osteoarthritic pain based on objective client-based validated surveys, but has not yet been explored for postoperative pain relief. The use of HBN should help reduce postoperative pain and improve outcomes for dogs undergoing tibial plateau leveling osteotomy for cranial cruciate fractures.
[0076] Additionally, cannabinoids may be useful in reducing postoperative pain after spinal cord injury and hemilaminectomy. Postoperative pain after spinal cord injury and hemilaminectomy is complex and involves inflammatory nociceptive and neuropathic pain mechanisms. This complexity of postoperative hemilaminectomy pain necessitates a multimodal analgesic protocol. The current standard of care in patients after hemilaminectomy is parenteral opioids, with adjunctive analgesic protocols varying from institution to institution. While opioid use is effective in controlling postoperative pain, it may be associated with undesirable adverse effects such as vomiting, anorexia, dysphoria, central nervous system and respiratory depression, constipation, and sedation. The goal of adjunctive analgesia in patients after hemilaminectomy is twofold: to reduce the amount of opioids required for pain control and to target multiple pain mechanisms. Typical adjunctive analgesics include gabapentin, diazepam, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory or steroidal agents. Gabapentin, the gold standard for neuropathic pain, is generally well tolerated by patients and is commonly used in post-neurosurgical patients.
[0077] The present disclosure is directed to compositions comprising cannabis extracts and their use for the treatment of pain in animals. Also provided herein are methods for treating pain in veterinary subjects. The efficacy of these compositions and treatments has not been demonstrated to date. Clinical trials and pharmacokinetic data regarding administration are also provided herein.

The appropriate therapeutic amount in any individual case may be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art using routine experimentation.
[0098] As used herein, the term "weight percent" is meant to refer to the amount by weight of a compound and / or ingredient in a composition as the amount by weight of the component of the composition as a percentage of the weight of the entire composition. Weight percent can also be calculated by multiplying the mass fraction by 100. "Mass fraction" is calculated as follows: weight percent = (ml / m T )*100, the mass m of the entire composition T mass m of one substance l When "%" is used herein, unless otherwise indicated, it is assumed to be percent by weight.
[0099] "Aqueous buffer" refers to an aqueous solution that resists changes in hydronium ion and hydroxide ion concentration (and resulting pH) upon addition of small amounts of acid or base or upon dilution. Buffers consist of a weak acid and its conjugated base (more common) or a weak base and its conjugated acid (less common). Buffers are prepared by methods well known in the art with an appropriate buffering agent to obtain the desired pH value. Examples of suitable buffering agents include hydrochloric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, malic acid, maleic acid, pyruvic acid, succinic acid, tris-hydroxymethylaminomethane, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, phosphoric acid, sodium phosphate, and other biologically acceptable buffering agents. Aqueous buffers are readily available commercially and can be used in the preparation of the compositions of the present invention without further processing.
[0100] As used herein, the term "cannabis extract" refers to a composition of cannabinoids and terpenes isolated from a cannabis plant. The terms "cannabis extract" and "CBG / CBGA oil" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably herein. Cannabis extracts can be obtained by any method known in the art. For example, cannabis extracts can be obtained by supercritical (or subcritical) CO2 extraction, which uses carbon dioxide under high pressure and low temperature to isolate, preserve, and maintain the purity of the cannabis extract. In one embodiment, cannabis extracts are obtained from supercritical CO2 extraction. For example, supercritical CO2 extraction may be performed as described in U.S. Patent No. 8,895,078, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Alternatively, solvents such as petroleum ether, ethanol, methanol, butanol, acetone, dry ice, or olive oil can be used to provide a cannabis extract by passive extraction, heating to a temperature above room temperature or under reflux, as known in the art, with stirring at room temperature (ambient temperature). In another embodiment, the cannabis extract from butanol extraction is used as starting material for the methods disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the cannabis extract undergoes an additional step to enrich one or more components of the cannabis extract. In some embodiments, the cannabis extract is enriched for the presence of CBG and / or CBGA.
[0101] Suitable methods for measuring the cannabinoid and terpene content in cannabis extracts are known in the art. In one embodiment, the cannabinoid content is determined using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (LC-MS). In another embodiment, the terpene content is determined using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection of headspace (GC-FID).
[0102] As used herein, the term "flavoring agent" refers to an ingredient added to a composition to impart a particular flavor, aroma, or other sensory characteristic.
[0103] As used herein, the term "oil" refers to a non-polar viscous liquid that is both hydrophobic and lipophilic. Oils may be isolated from animals, plants, or petrochemicals.
[0104] As used herein, the term "chew" refers to a product or portion thereof that has rheological and other textural and sensory properties that tend to promote chewing of the article by a target animal. Generally, a chewable matrix exhibits sufficient ductility to be at least slightly malleable when chewed by a target animal, and sufficient palatability that the target animal is not deterred by its taste when chewed multiple times. In contrast, "chewable" does not simply mean that the article can be chewed by an animal (i.e., does not simply mean that a portion of the article fits sufficiently within an animal's mouth to permit engagement of the animal's teeth therewith).
[0105] As used herein, the "maximum serum concentration level" of a substance refers to the maximum level of the substance found in a plasma sample following a single administration.
[0106] As used herein, the term "cold extrusion" refers to a process for producing edible food products that involves several unit operations, including mixing, kneading, shearing, shaping, and forming, all of which are carried out at or near ambient temperature.
[0107] As used herein, the term "psychotropic effect" refers to alterations in brain function that result in changes in perception, mood, consciousness, or behavior.
[0108] As used herein, a "chemotherapeutic agent" is any compound used to treat a proliferative disorder. Examples of chemotherapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, the following classes of agents: Nitrogen mustards, such as cyclophosphamide, trophosphamide, ifosfamide, and chlorambucil; Nitrosoureas such as Carmustine (BCNU), Lomustine (CCNU), Semustine (methyl-CCNU), and Nimustine (ACNU); Ethylenimines and methyl-melamines such as Thiotepa; Folic acid analogues, e.g., methotrexate; Pyrimidine analogues, such as 5-fluorouracil and cytarabine; Purine analogues such as mercaptopurine and azathioprine; Vinca alkaloids such as Vinblastine, Vincristine, and Vindesine; Epipodophyllotoxins such as Etoposide and Teniposide; Antibiotics such as dactinomycin, daunorubicin, doxorubicin, epirubicin, bleomycin a2, mitomycin c, and mitoxantrone; Estrogens, such as ethylstilbestrol; Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues such as leuprolide, buserelin, and goserelin; Antiestrogens such as Tamoxifen and Aminoglutethimide; Androgens such as Testolactone and Drostanolone Proprionate; Platinates, such as cisplatin and carboplatin; and Interferon - Interferons including alpha, beta and gamma.
[0109] As used herein, the term "quality of life" or "QoL" is generally considered a multidimensional concept that is a subjective assessment of factors that contribute to overall health, with recent publications suggesting fatigue, anxiety, and digestive function. The Likert scale system appears to be an appropriate assessment of QoL (Giuffrida et al. (2018) J Amer Vet Med Assoc. 252:1073-1083.) and will be used in this study.

See also Powell et al. "Compendium of excipients for parenteral formulations" PDA (1998) J Pharm Sci Technol 52:238-311.
[0306] The dosage may vary depending on the age and weight of the subject to be administered, the target disease, condition, route of administration, etc. Various delivery systems are known and can be used to administer the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, such as encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, microcapsules, receptor-mediated endocytosis, etc. (see, for example, Wu et al. (1987) J.Biol.Chem.262:4429-4432). Methods of introduction include, but are not limited to, intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, transdermal, buccal, sublingual, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, and oral routes. The composition may be administered by any convenient route, for example, by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (e.g., oral mucosa, rectal and intestinal mucosa, etc.), and may be administered together with other biologically active agents. Administration may be systemic or local.
[0307] The pharmaceutical preparation for oral use can be prepared using solid excipients, and the mixture obtained can be milled as necessary, and after adding suitable auxiliary agents as required, the mixture of granules can be processed to obtain tablets or dragee cores.Suitable excipients are in particular fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; for example, corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gums, cellulose preparations such as methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium carbomethylcellulose, and / or physiologically acceptable polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).If desired, disintegrants such as cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or its salts, such as sodium alginate, can be added.
[0308] Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinylpyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures.
[0309] The injectable preparations may include dosage forms for intravenous, subcutaneous, intradermal, and intramuscular injections, local injections, infusions, and the like. These injectable preparations may be prepared by known methods. For example, the injectable preparations may be prepared, for example, by dissolving, suspending, or emulsifying the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form in a sterile aqueous or oily medium conventionally used for injections. Aqueous media for injection include, for example, saline, isotonic solutions containing glucose and other auxiliary agents, and these may be used in combination with suitable solubilizers such as alcohol (e.g., ethanol), polyalcohols (e.g., propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol), nonionic surfactants [e.g., polysorbate 80, HCO-50 (polyoxyethylene (50 mol) adduct of hydrogenated castor oil)]. As oily media, for example, sesame oil, soybean oil, and the like may be used in combination with solubilizers such as benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol, and the like. The injectable preparations thus prepared may be filled into suitable ampoules.
[0310] Pharmaceutical compositions that can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, and soft sealed capsules made of gelatin and plasticizers such as glycerol or sorbitol.Push-fit capsules may contain active ingredients mixed with fillers such as lactose, binders such as starch, lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate, and optionally stabilizers.In soft capsules, active ingredients may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols.
[0311] Alternatively, the composition may be in powder form for constitution before use with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water. The exact formulation, route of administration, and dosage can be chosen by a physician familiar with the patient's condition. (See, e.g., Fingl, et al., 1975, in "The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics", Chapter I, p.1). Depending on the severity and responsiveness of the condition to be treated, administration may also be a single dose of a sustained release composition, with the course of treatment lasting from several days to several weeks, or until a cure is effected or the condition is abated.
[0312] Advantageously, the pharmaceutical composition for oral or parenteral use described above is prepared in dosage form with a unit dose suitable for the dosage of active ingredient.Such dosage forms in unit dose include, for example, tablets, pills, capsules, injections (ampoules), suppositories, chews, pet food, etc.In a particular embodiment, the dosage provided above is administered in one serving of pet food, such as 1 mg / kg of cannabis extract provided in one serving of pet food.
[0313] According to the methods disclosed herein, the pharmaceutical formulation can be administered to the patient using any acceptable device or mechanism. For example, administration can be accomplished using a syringe and needle, or with a reusable pen and / or autoinjector delivery device. The methods of the present invention include the use of a number of reusable pen and / or autoinjector delivery devices to administer the pharmaceutical formulation.

Secondly, the study assessed the safety of these compounds in dogs over the course of a two-week study using physical examinations (e.g., heart rate), complete blood counts, and serum chemistry evaluations.
[0316] Animals and protocols Six intact male beagles, all 2 years old and weighing 18.6-22.2 kilograms, were housed at the Baker Institute for Animal Health, and all procedures were approved by the Cornell University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (Protocol 2019-0001). All dogs underwent a 2-week fasting treatment trial, followed by a 2-week washout before beginning the feeding phase of the study, which included ¼ of a 13-ounce can of wet food (PURINA® Pro Plan Savory Chicken and Rice Formula, Nestle Purina, St. Louis, MO) at the time of administration. Twenty-four-hour pharmacokinetic analysis of serum cannabinoid levels was performed 1 day after a single dose in the fed or fasted state. Serum cannabinoids were then measured the following day after twice-daily administration of the treatment oil at both 7 am and 7 pm for 2 weeks. All dogs were bled prior to the study for complete blood counts and serum chemistries and again at the end of each phase of the 2-week study. Complete blood counts (white blood cells [WBC], hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cells [RBC], neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils) and serum biochemistry analyses (sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, albumin, total protein, globulin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase [ALP], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], cholesterol, total bilirubin, glucose, and gamma glutamyltransferase [GGT]) were performed at the Cornell University Diagnostic Laboratory. For the fasted and fed portions of the 24-hour pharmacokinetic analysis study, dogs were administered 2 mg / kg body weight of an equal mixture of 30 mg / mL CBG and 30 mg / mL CBGA from cannabis extract in a sesame oil base and tested again at the end of the study, showing virtually identical analytical profiles. Two milliliters of blood were collected via jugular vein puncture for all six dogs prior to the first dose (0 hours), and then again at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours.Prior to enrollment, all dogs involved in the study were deemed healthy based on physical examination. Behavioral observations were performed 2 hours after the morning dose for each phase of the study. Behavioral observations were performed on days 1, 3, 7, and 14. Physical and behavioral examinations were performed to evaluate for adverse events including diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, somnolence, ataxia, or abnormal behavior within the colony. Due to the potential effect of CBG / CBGA on heart rate, dogs were manually assessed for resting heart rate for 30 seconds and extrapolated to relative beats per minute after the first dose at 0, 1, 2, 4, 12, 24, and 48 hours for both fed and fasted arms of the study, and again after the morning dose on days 7 and 14. For further serum cannabinoid measurements, serum was also obtained 6 hours after the morning dose on days 7 and 14 to establish relative steady-state serum concentrations.
[0317] Serum cannabinoid analysis Analyses were performed at the Toxicology Research Laboratory, University of Illinois at Chicago using exploratory methods for the rapid measurement of 13 cannabinoids and their metabolites. Reference standards for CBD and CBDA were obtained from Restek Corporation (Bellefonte, PA), and all other reference and internal standards, including CBG and CBGA, were obtained from Cerilliant Corporation (Round Rock, TX). Concentrations of cannabinoids (CBD, CBDA, 7-COOH cannabidiol (7-COOH-CBD), THC, THCA, cannabinol (CBN), cannabichromene (CBC), CBG, and CBGA) and their metabolites (7-OH-CBD, 7-COOH-CBD, COOH-THC, and COOH-THC-Glu) in dog serum were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) (Nexera X2 and LCMS 8050, Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan).
[0318] Dog serum (40 μL) was mixed with 20 μL of internal standards [CBD-d3, THC-d3, THCA-d3, 7-COOH-CBD-d3, COOH-THC-d9, and COOH-THC-Glu-d3 at 100 ng / mL in water:methanol (50:50)] in a 96-well plate. Proteins were precipitated and compounds were extracted by adding 100 μL of ice-cold acetonitrile to the samples, followed by vortexing for 1-2 min and centrifugation at 4,000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant (70 μL) was mixed with 70 μL of water in a different 96-well plate and centrifuged again. 10 μL of the treated sample was injected onto a WATERS™ ATLANTIS® T3 HPLC column (3 μm 2.1×50 mm) with a guard cartridge (WATERS™ VanGuard ATLANTIS® T3) connected to an LC-MS / MS (Waters Corporation, Milford, Massachusetts, United States). The column was equilibrated to 50% B with mobile phase A (0.1% formic acid in water) and mobile phase B (acetonitrile). Compounds were eluted with a linear gradient from 50% B to 95% B over 6 min, then held at 95% B for 1 min. The column was then re-equilibrated at the initial composition for 1 min at a flow rate of 0.3 mL / min. The autosampler and column temperatures were set at 4 and 30° C., respectively. Compounds were detected in electrospray ionization positive and / or negative modes. The interface voltage and temperature were 4 kV and 300° C., respectively. The desolvation line and heat block temperatures were 250 and 400° C., respectively. The atomization, heating, and drying gas flows were 2.7, 5, and 5 L / min, respectively.
[0319] The concentration of cannabinoids was calculated based on the relative response (peak area of cannabinoid / peak area of internal standard) as 1 / c 2 The results were calculated by LabSolutions software (Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan) using a quadratic calibration curve with weights of 0.01 to 0.01.
[0320] Pharmacokinetic and statistical analysis A 24-hour noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis of CBG and CBGA was performed using a commercially available software system (PK solutions 2.0, Summit PK, Montrose, CO). A semi-logarithmic plot was used to determine the linearity of the elimination profiles. Results were calculated as time to maximum concentration (Tmax), maximum serum concentration (Cmax), elimination half-life (T1 / 2), area under the curve to the final time point (AUC 0-24 ), and mean residence time (MRT). The program predicts steady-state mean, minimum and maximum as well as average concentrations upon chronic dosing (Css Ave) based on the assumption that steady-state is achieved after 5 half-lives of dosing.
[0321] Statistical analysis of the pharmacokinetic results was performed using Student's T-test for fed and fasted 24-hour pharmacokinetics to determine if there were significant differences. Similarly, complete blood count data and selected serum chemistry data (hepatic and renal parameters) from dogs at each stage were compared at baseline and 2 weeks for both the fed and fasted portions of the study using Student's T-test. For each stage of the study (fed and fasted), one-way ANOVA was performed on the heart rate assessments over time. Two-way ANOVA was performed on the fed and fasted data at weeks 1 and 2 to assess differences between the two groups over time. For all statistical tests, p-values were set at <0.05 for significance. All statistical tests were performed using GraphPad Prism 6.0 (Graphpad, LaJolla, CA) and figures were generated by the same software. Any results that were below the quantifiable limit of the respective cannabinoid were considered as 0 for all graphs and representations of the data (CBG lower limit 0.5 ng / mL, CBGA lower limit 1 ng / mL).
[0322] result 24-hour, 1-week, and 2-week pharmacokinetics The 24-hour PK analysis provided calculable Cmax (ng / mL), Tmax (hours), elimination T1 / 2 lifetime (hours), AUC 0-24 (ng-h / mL), MRT (hours), and predicted steady-state means for CBG and CBGA. No other cannabinoids were found in the detectable range. All data, means, and standard deviations for CBG and CBGA in fed and fasted states are found in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. When comparing fed and fasted results, no statistically significant differences were observed across all pharmacokinetic parameters (Table 1). CBGA serum concentrations were much higher than those found for CBG overall across all dogs, and both CBG and CBGA concentrations were higher in the fasted state, although not statistically significant (Figures 1 and 2). No significant differences in CBG serum concentrations were observed at week 1 in the fed (12.7+12.3ng / mL) or fasted (5.0+3.5ng / mL) states. Similarly, CBG serum concentrations were not significantly different between fed (9.6+8.4ng / mL) and fasted (6.1+6.0ng / mL) states at week 2, respectively (Figure 3). No significant differences in CBG were found between weeks or fed and fasted states (Time p=0.65, Fed / Fast p=0.10, Time*Fed / Fast p=0.46). Weeks 1 and 2, 6 hours after morning administration of oil, showed CBGA serum concentrations of 564+574ng / mL and 223+197ng / mL, respectively, in the fed state, and 437+414ng / mL and 260+300ng / mL, respectively, in the fasted state (Figure 4). No significant differences in CBGA were found between weeks or between fed and fasted states (Time p=0.11, Fed / Fasted p=0.69, Time*Fed / Fasted p=0.48). All of these results are in a similar order to the predicted steady state concentrations observed from the pharmacokinetic analysis. [Table 1] Cmax, maximum serum concentration Tmax, time to maximum concentration T1 / 2, elimination half-life AUC(0-24), area under the serum concentration curve up to 24 hours MRT, mean residence time Css Ave, predicted mean steady-state serum concentration No significant differences were found between fed and fasted conditions. [Table 2] Cmax, maximum serum concentration Tmax, time to maximum concentration T1 / 2, elimination half-life AUC(0-24), area under the serum concentration curve up to 24 hours MRT, mean residence time Css Ave, predicted mean steady-state serum concentration No significant differences were found between fed and fasted conditions.
[0323] Serum chemistry and complete blood count Mean and standard deviation serum chemistry tests and complete blood counts at baseline and week 2 are shown in Tables 3 and 4, respectively. Serum chemistry changes associated with treatment with cannabinoid and oil-based products suggest that for serum creatinine there was a very modest increase in the fed and fasted state (fasting p<0.01, fed p<0.01), with no values falling outside the reference range. Serum albumin (p=0.03), cholesterol (p=0.03), and AST (p=0.01) levels also showed a significant increase during the feeding phase at week 2, while serum ALP (fasting p=0.02, fed p=0.05) showed a decrease during the feeding and fasting phases at week 2. None of these increases or decreases fell outside the reference range for each parameter. No other significance was observed between the remaining renal and hepatic parameters. Serum electrolytes showed no significant differences over time with treatment (data not shown).
[0324] Complete blood count data noted higher white blood cell counts at week 2 during both fed and fasted states (fasting p=0.02, fed p=0.01). Similarly, when examining specific cell types, neutrophils were found to increase at week 2 after each phase of treatment (fasting p=0.02, fed p=0.01). Platelets and monocytes were significantly increased at week 2 during the fasting phase of the study (p<0.01). Hematocrit concentrations were found to be significantly increased in the fed state after two weeks of treatment (p=0.01). No parameters were above or below the reference interval.
[0325] Physical examinations performed throughout revealed no observable abnormalities in activity, neurological disorders, or behavior during any phase of the study. One dog experienced vomiting on the second day after the morning dose during the fasting phase, but there were no other changes in appetite, vomiting, or diarrhea. Heart rates observed during the two-week period across both phases of the study are seen in Table 5. No significant differences were observed across the fed and fasting phases of the study.
[0326] Conclusion and Discussion This is the first pharmacokinetic serum evaluation of CBG and CBGA using infused sesame oil containing a mixture of 30 mg / ml CBG and 30 mg / ml CBGA administered orally to dogs. Cultivars that specifically synthesize primarily CBG or its acid derivatives are likely to be developed for sale as dietary supplements. Evaluating CBG and CBGA in companion animals such as dogs is important to better understand the pharmacokinetics and usefulness of these products, especially in light of NSAID intolerance and the need for safe alternatives for pain control.
[0327] Our 24-hour pharmacokinetic study of CBG and CBGA shows a significant increase in CBGA concentrations when compared to CBG in dog serum. CBGA levels in serum show approximately 40-fold higher Cmax compared to CBG in both fed and fasted states, with similar Tmax and T1 / 2 lifetimes for both compounds. With limited human literature, little focus on the acidic form, via oral ingestion, this study is novel in a higher mammalian species, examining the pharmacokinetics of CBG and CBGA and showing a definitive superiority in absorption and retention of CBGA.
[0328] The pharmacokinetics of CBG and CBGA over a two-week period show absorption and retention after oral administration in both fasted and fed states. However, CBGA is absorbed at much higher concentrations and maintains much higher serum concentrations compared to CBG. In comparison, the absorption and retention of CBGA appears to be nearly 10-fold higher than can be achieved with CBG, making it a better pharmacological molecule. In our small study, there were no significant differences between weeks or fed / fasted states for either CBG or CBGA, but the p-value over time for CBGA was 0.11, pointing to potential differences over time that may or may not be clinically relevant. Interestingly, concentrations at week 2 were lower than week 1, regardless of fed or fasted state, suggesting that there may be changes in hepatic metabolism occurring at the onset of dosing that could lead to elimination of CBG in the urine or bile, necessitating further investigation into enzymatic induction or inhibition of cytochrome p450. CBG and CBGA administered orally at 2 mg / kg twice daily for 2 weeks appear to be very safe for dogs. Physical examination revealed no changes in behavior, neurological status, or activity levels. Serum biochemistry evaluation in the fed state over a 2-week period revealed mild but significant elevations in albumin, creatinine, AST, and cholesterol. In the fasted state, there was also a mild but significant elevation in creatinine. However, none of these variations were outside the reference range. More importantly, there was no elevation of liver enzymes in our population. In particular, ALP was observed to decrease in both the fasted and fed states. Table 3 shows the serum biochemistry results.
[0329] When evaluating complete blood counts, there was a modest but significant increase in white blood cell counts and neutrophils in both the fasted and fed states at 2 weeks compared to baseline. Platelets and monocytes were significantly increased only in the fasted state. Hematocrit was elevated only in the fed state. Although statistically significant changes occurred, none fell outside the reference range and therefore were clinically relevant. It is unclear whether the elevation in white blood cell counts and neutrophils could be secondary to immune stimulation of CBG or CBGA or to the oils used as a vehicle for administration. Due to a major limitation of our study in that there was no placebo treatment during the study, these findings are weak and therefore the effects on serum chemistry changes and complete blood counts may be attributable to the small amount of sesame oil as the base of the cannabis supplement provided. Furthermore, the dogs used in this study were a small homogenous population that may not be reflective of companion dogs with comorbidities. Complete blood count data are shown in Table 4.
[0330] Dogs were followed for bradycardia during the first dose and over the 2-week treatment period, with no significant changes in heart rate. The low dose and poor absorption of CBG may have led to an overall lack of alpha-2 adrenergic stimulation, and it can be safely assumed that the CBGA molecule does not induce bradycardia upon oral absorption in our small cohort. Heart rate data is shown in Table 5.
[0331] In conclusion, this study is the first to show that CBG and CBGA cannabis extracts administered orally in sesame oil at 2 mg / kg twice daily for 2 weeks are absorbed and retained in dogs. Although further studies are needed to understand the elimination kinetics and long-term therapeutic concerns, CBGA is much more absorbable and retained at higher serum concentrations for longer periods of time, likely having pharmacological benefits. In short-term evaluations of serum biochemistry, blood counts, physical examination, and heart rate monitoring in a healthy canine population, both CBG and CBGA appear to be safe. This particular cannabis extract appears to be safe for short-term consumption, and caution should be used when making direct comparisons with other products due to differences in cannabis ingredients, carrier oils utilized, or other emulsions. Clinical trials are needed to evaluate the pharmacological benefits of CBG and CBGA in pain, neurological, and inflammatory conditions, and a focus on the acidic forms may be worthwhile due to the absorption kinetics observed.
