Pharmaceutical compositions and kits containing these, as well as methods of their use in medicine, particularly for treating inflammatory conditions and disorders, are also provided. [Background technology]

[0003] Globally, approximately 50% of people die from inflammatory diseases (GBD 2017 Causes of Death Collaborators. Lancet. 2018;392(10159):1736-1788). Inflammation can be acute, typically temporary, and can result from injury, for example. Alternatively, inflammation can be chronic and associated with a wide range of diseases, including asthma, autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, neurodegenerative diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases, and certain types of cancer.

[0004] Many inflammatory conditions or disorders are incurable, and treatments generally only attempt to alleviate symptoms or slow progression. Thus, there is a desperate need for new treatments that can reduce the severity of symptoms, prevent the development of new symptoms, and reverse disease progression.

[0005] Provided herein are therapeutic combinations, pharmaceutical compositions and kits, and methods of their use, for treating inflammatory conditions and disorders that meet these and other needs and have readily apparent advantages and improvements over prior treatment options.

Certain aspects of the invention will therefore be described with further specificity and detail, which, again by way of example only, will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0050] [Figure 1] 1 shows certain synergistic effects of components of an exemplary therapeutic combination on the microglial NF-κB pathway.

[0051] [Figure 2]1 shows certain synergistic effects of components of exemplary therapeutic combinations on ROS / PPARy / Nrf2 crosstalk.

[0052] [Figure 3] FIG. 1 illustrates the production of an exemplary composition by the method of certain described embodiments.

[0053] [Figure 4] FIG. 1 shows an exemplary analysis of a composition by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) testing, including chromatograms showing various concentrations of bioactive molecules contained in the composition with parameters disclosed in Table 6.

[0054] [Figure 5] 1 shows an exemplary 1H-NMR spectrum of the disclosed composition having the parameters set forth in Table 6.

[0055] [Figure 6] 1 shows an exemplary analysis of a composition by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) LC-MS testing, including a chromatogram showing the concentration of bioactive molecules contained in the composition with the parameters disclosed in Table 6.

[0056] [Figure 7] FIG. 1 shows the total antioxidant capacity of Cannabis stocks as measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay, where the calculated Gallic Acid Equivalents (GAE) of the Cannabis stocks are plotted in milligrams (mg) per milliliter per liter (mL / L) of a given solution.

[0057] [Figure 8]FIG. 1 shows the total antioxidant capacity of Psilocybe stocks using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. The calculated GAE of Psilocybe stocks is plotted in mg per mL / L of a given solution.

[0058] [Figure 9] FIG. 1 shows the total antioxidant capacity of Pyropia stocks using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. The calculated GAE of Pyropia stocks is plotted in mg per mL / L of a given solution.

[0059] [Figure 10] FIG. 1 shows the total antioxidant capacity of Tonka concentrates using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. The calculated GAE of Tonka concentrates is plotted in mg per mL / L of a given solution.

[0060] [Figure 11] Figure 11 shows the total antioxidant capacity of a cannabis stock (Ca stock), a psilocybe stock (Ps stock), and a cannabis / psilocybe binary blend (Ca / Ps) using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay (i.e., obtained by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay). Figure 11 shows the calculated GAE for the Ca stock, Ps stock, and Ca / Ps in mg per mL / L of solution used. The table below the graph in Figure 11 indicates the statistical significance of the Ca stock vs. Ca / Ps and Ps stock vs. Ca / Ps, indicated by asterisks (P<0.10: *, P<0.05: *, and P<0.01: **). The binary blend of Cannabis and Psilocybe had higher antioxidant capacity than either component alone, and this data suggested an additive effect of the two components contributing to the capacity of the binary blend.

[0061] [Figure 12]Figure 12 shows the total antioxidant capacity of a Cannabis stock (Ca stock), a Pyropia stock (Py stock), and a Cannabis / Pyropia binary blend (Ca / Py) obtained by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. Figure 12 shows the calculated GAE for the Ca stock, Py stock, and Ca / Py in mg per mL / L of solution utilized. The table below the graph in Figure 12 displays the statistical significance of the Ca stock vs. Ca / Py and Py stock vs. Ca / Py, indicated by an asterisk (as above). The Cannabis and Pyropia binary blend possessed a higher antioxidant capacity than either component alone, and these data suggest a synergistic effect, as the antioxidant capacity of the binary blend was higher than that predicted by adding the values ​​of the two components together.

[0062] [Figure 13] Figure 13 shows the total antioxidant capacity of a cannabis stock (Ca stock), a tonka stock (To stock), and a cannabis / tonka binary blend (Ca / To) as determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. Figure 13 shows the calculated GAE for the Ca stock, To stock, and Ca / To in mg per mL / L of solution utilized. The table below the graph in Figure 13 displays the statistical significance of the Ca stock vs. Ca / To and To stock vs. Ca / To, indicated by an asterisk (as above). The cannabis and tonka binary blend had antioxidant capacity comparable to the cannabis components. Tonka slightly improved antioxidant capacity despite its relatively low percentage in the blend.

[0063] [Figure 14]Figure 14 shows the total antioxidant capacity of Psilocybe stock (Ps stock), Pyropia stock (Py stock), and a Psilocybe / Pyropia binary blend (Ps / Py) obtained by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. Figure 14 shows the calculated GAE for Ps stock, Py stock, and Ps / Py in mg per mL / L of solution utilized. The table below the graph in Figure 14 represents the statistical significance of Ps stock vs. Ps / Py and Py stock vs. Ps / Py, indicated by an asterisk (as above). The Psilocybe / Pyropia binary blend had slightly lower antioxidant capacity than Psilocybe alone. This suggests that the compounds in the Pyropia stock solution interacted in a way that reduced its antioxidant capacity, i.e., its ability to donate electrons to chemical reactions in the assay.

[0064] [Figure 15] The total antioxidant capacity of Psilocybe stock (Ps stock), Tonka stock (To stock), and a Psilocybe / Tonka binary blend (Ps / To) obtained by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay is shown. Figure 15 shows the calculated GAE for Ps stock, To stock, and Ps / To in mg per mL / L of solution used. The table below the graph in Figure 15 indicates the statistical significance of Ps stock vs. Ps / To and To stock vs. Ps / To, indicated by an asterisk (as above). The Psilocybe / Tonka binary blend had a lower antioxidant capacity than Psilocybe alone. This suggests that compounds in Tonka interacted with compounds in Psilocybe in a way that reduced antioxidant capacity, i.e., its ability to donate electrons to chemical reactions in the assay.

[0065] [Figure 16]Figure 16 shows the total antioxidant capacity of Pyropia stock (Py stock), Tonka stock (To stock), and a Pyropia / Tonka binary blend (Py / To) using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. Figure 16 shows the calculated GAE for Py stock, To stock, and Py / To in mg per mL / L of solution utilized. The table below the graph in Figure 16 displays the statistical significance of Py stock vs. Py / To and To stock vs. Py / To, indicated by an asterisk (as above). The Pyropia and Tonka binary blend had antioxidant capacity comparable to Pyropia alone. The effect of Tonka alone was undetectable at the dose range tested.

[0066] [Figure 17] The total antioxidant capacity of Cannabis / Psilocybe / Pyropia / Tonka (Ca / Ps / Py / To) blends obtained by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay is shown compared to matched doses of Cannabis stock (Ca stock), Psilocybe stock (Ps stock), Pyropia stock (Py stock), and Tonka stock (To stock). Figure 17 shows the calculated GAE for Ca / Ps / Py / To, Ca stock, Ps stock, Py stock, and To stock in mg per mL / L of solution utilized. The table below the graph shown in Figure 17 presents the statistical significance of Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. Ca stock, Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. Ps stock, Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. Py stock, and Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. To stock, indicated by an asterisk (as above).

[0067] [Figure 18]The total antioxidant capacity of the Cannabis / Psilocybe / Pyropia / Tonka (Ca / Ps / Py / To) blend, as determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay, is shown compared to matched doses of each of the binary blends, including Cannabis / Psilocybe (Ca / Ps), Cannabis / Pyropia (Ca / Py), Cannabis / Tonka (Ca / To), Psilocybe / Pyropia (Ps / Py), Psilocybe / Tonka (Ps / To), and Pyropia / Tonka (Py / To). Figure 18 shows the calculated GAE in mg per mL / L of solution utilized for Ca / Ps / Py / To, Ca / Ps, Ca / Py, Ca / To, Ps / Py, Ps / To, and Py / To. The table below the graphs shown in Figure 18 indicates the statistical significance of Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. Ca / Ps, Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. Ca / Py, Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. Ca / To, Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. Ps / Py, Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. Ps / To, and Ca / Ps / Py / To vs. Py / To, indicated by an asterisk (as above).

[0068] [Figure 19]Figure 19 shows the total antioxidant capacity of the Cannabis / Psilocybe / Pyropia / Tonka (Ca / Ps / Py / To) quaternary blend compared to Applicant's "4+" blend (i.e., Applicant's final products disclosed herein as ABS-108 and NIM-01, and as the composition of Example 6) as determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. Figure 19 shows the calculated GAE for Ca / Ps / Py / To and the 4+ blend in mg per mL / L of solution utilized. Figure 19 presents the data as the mean ± standard deviation of duplicate experimental data points for each dose. Figure 19 indicates the statistical significance of Ca / Ps / Py / To versus the 4+ blend, indicated by an asterisk (as above). The 4+ blend exhibited higher antioxidant capacity than the Cannabis / Psilocybe / Pyropia / Tonka 4-component blend, indicating that the additional components in the 4+ blend contribute to the antioxidant properties of the final product.

[0074] A composition "consisting of" particular bioactive molecules can include only the recited bioactive molecules, and a composition "consisting essentially of" particular bioactive molecules can include the recited bioactive molecules, optionally with additional compounds or other elements that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the claimed combination, composition, or method. Although the term "one or more" is sometimes used, its absence (or replacement with the singular) does not imply exclusiveness; rather, such use merely highlights the possibility of multiple agents or components in a particular embodiment.

[0075] When ranges are given herein, the disclosure includes embodiments in which the endpoints are included, embodiments in which both endpoints are excluded, and embodiments in which one endpoint is included and the other endpoint is excluded. Both endpoints should be assumed to be inclusive unless otherwise indicated. Also, unless otherwise indicated or otherwise apparent from the context and the understanding of one of ordinary skill in the art, values ​​expressed as ranges are understood to be able to assume, in different embodiments, any specific value or subrange within the stated range, down to the tenth of the unit of the lower limit of the range, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Furthermore, when a series of numerical values ​​is described herein, it is understood that the disclosure includes embodiments related by analogy to any intervening value or range defined by any two values ​​in the series, with the minimum value taken as a minimum and the maximum value taken as a maximum. Numerical values ​​used herein include values ​​expressed as percentages. For embodiments in which numerical values ​​are preceded by "about" or "approximately," the disclosure includes embodiments in which the exact value is recited. For embodiments where a numerical value is not preceded by "about" or "approximately," the present disclosure includes embodiments where the numerical value is preceded by "about." Unless otherwise stated, all numbers expressing properties such as amounts of ingredients, concentrations, reaction conditions, and the like, used to describe and claim a particular embodiment should therefore be understood to be modified in some instances by the term "about." "Approximately" or "about" is intended to encompass numerical values ​​that fall within a range, in embodiments, within ±10% of the numerical value, in some embodiments, within ±5% of the numerical value, in some embodiments (including some embodiments) within ±2% of the numerical value, in some embodiments, within ±1% of the numerical value, in some embodiments, within ±0.5% of the numerical value, and in some embodiments, within ±0.1% of the numerical value, unless otherwise stated or apparent from the context (except where such numerical value would impermissibly exceed 100% of a possible value).

[0076] In some embodiments, the numerical parameters set forth in the specification and claims are approximations that can vary depending on the desired properties sought to be obtained by a particular embodiment (and as would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art). The term "substantially," when applied to modifying a feature or limitation herein, should be read to provide an appropriate degree of certainty in light of the context of the disclosure and the knowledge in the art, for example, by using art-recognized standards for measuring the meaning of "substantially" as a term of degree, or by grasping a range as would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. In some embodiments, numerical parameters should be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of some embodiments are approximations, the numerical values ​​set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as practicable. The numerical values ​​set forth in the embodiments may necessarily contain certain errors resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.

[0077] A comprehensive list of abbreviations utilized by organic chemists of ordinary skill appears in the first issue of each volume of the Journal of Organic Chemistry, typically set forth in a table entitled "Standard List of Abbreviations." The most current list as of the filing date is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

[0078] All technical and scientific terms in this specification have the meanings that are commonly understood by those skilled in the art unless expressly defined otherwise. Further definitions that may assist the reader in understanding the disclosed exemplary embodiments are provided below, but such definitions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure, and it will be understood that they will be properly interpreted and understood (as well as any plain meaning known to those skilled in the art) in light of the language used in the claims and by referring to the entire specification. The terms are intended to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to be limiting.

[0079] Terms that have a specific meaning in the regulatory laws of the jurisdiction in which this application is filed or may be enacted should generally be given that meaning unless the context dictates otherwise. For example, "botanical drug substance" may refer to terms defined through FDA implementing rules and regulations and terms set forth in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research's "Guidance for Industry Botanical Drug Products, December 2016 (Docket No. FDA-2000-D-0103)" ("FDA. Botanical drug development guidance for industry. 2016. CDER pharmaceutical quality. CMC"). The same applies to other terms, including "botanical drug" and "botanical material."

[0080] For the avoidance of doubt, even though "botanical" is commonly used to mean "pertaining to plants," as used herein, "botanical" in a "botanical" drug substance or drug product shall be understood to include compounds, substances, and products (e.g., extracts) obtained from or derived from fungal material, such as psilocybin-containing or other fungi, as defined by the FDA.

[0081] "Botanical" drug substances or pharmaceuticals are also understood to include compounds, substances, and products (e.g., extracts) obtained or derived from algal material, where "algal material" refers broadly to any material from the polyphyletic group of diverse photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms referred to or understood in the art as "algae," particularly those portions that constitute a biologically active molecule of interest, as known to those skilled in the art.

[0082] Botanical drug substances and drugs, and compositions containing them, may be available by prescription or over the counter ("OTC"), as dietary or nutritional supplements, as "functional foods," or under other regulatory regimes, or may be unregulated (e.g., "natural products").

[0083] As used herein, the term "plant material" includes the entire plant and its parts containing the desired bioactive molecules, such as the above-ground parts of the plant, isolated leaves, stems, flowers, fruits, roots, or any combination of the foregoing. In the case of Cannabis plants, it will be understood that the part primarily used is the flowering female inflorescence ("bud"), which generally contains the highest concentrations of bioactive molecules, such as terpenoids and cannabinoids. However, other plant parts may also be used in the disclosed compositions and methods, as will be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0084] When fungal material is used (e.g., in an extraction process), it may be derived from fungal fruiting bodies ("mushrooms"), fungal sclerotia ("truffles"), as well as any part from mycelium or other fungal material (e.g., bioreactor biomass), unless the context indicates otherwise; any or all such parts, as well as combinations thereof, may be referred to as "fungal material."

[0085] Generally, the names used and procedures performed herein are those well known in the art related to one aspect of this disclosure, such as biology, chemistry, natural product extraction, botany, mycology, phycology, pharmacology, medicine, etc., and are those well known and commonly used in the art. Standard techniques and procedures are those generally performed according to conventional methods in the art.

[0095] The term "secondary," as in "secondary biological activity," is used herein to mean, and may be used interchangeably with, the terms "secondary" or "additional," and is not intended to necessarily imply a particular degree of priority compared to a term "primary," as in "primary biological activity," and therefore should not necessarily imply a lesser degree of importance or significance in terms of providing or contributing to any particular advantage, benefit, or synergy, or for any particular disclosed use, such as importance or significance in any particular combination, composition, kit, or method, or for any particular disclosed use.

[0096] A. Fungi Fungi, unlike plants, do not contain chlorophyll and are saprophytic (feeding on dead plants and animals), parasitic (feeding on living hosts), or symbiotic (sharing mutually beneficial relationships with other organisms) organisms. Fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually by spores produced in a variety of ways. Exemplary fungi include Phycomycetes, Ascomycetes, and Basidiomycetes. Fungi may include those commonly referred to as yeasts, rusts, smuts, mildews, molds, and mushrooms. As used herein, "fungi" should be understood to include both filamentous and non-filamentous species, and the term will be understood to include all forms of the word, including "fungi" and "fungi."

[0116] 1. Cannabis The genus Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cannabaceae. The number of species in the genus is disputed; some recognize Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis as separate species, others include C. ruderalis within C. sativa, others include C. sativa, C. indica, and C. ruderalis as subspecies of the single species C. sativa, and still others treat C. sativa L. as a single, unclassified species. As used herein, "Cannabis" refers to all such encompassing species, subspecies, cultivars, varieties, strains, chemovarietals, etc., including the genus Cannabis, regardless of such terminology. As used herein, merely for shorthand purposes, and without taking a position on the above controversy, the term "Cannabis" refers to C. sativa, C. indica, and C. ruderalis, and further includes genetic crosses, self-crosses, and hybrids thereof.

[0119] a. Cannabis-derived primary and secondary bioactive molecules In some embodiments, the therapeutic combination comprises a first bioactive molecule and / or a second bioactive molecule derived from Cannabis.

[0120] In some embodiments, the primary bioactive molecule derived from Cannabis is a cannabinoid. Cannabinoids are a diverse class of small molecules grouped together due to their ability to act on cannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoid receptors are present throughout the brain and central and peripheral nervous systems of humans and other mammals. There are two main types of cannabinoid receptors, known as cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2). CB1 receptors are primarily present in the central nervous system (i.e., brain and spinal cord) as well as in the lungs, liver, and kidneys. CB1 receptor-mediated signaling plays an important role in neural circuits mediating mood, motivation, and emotional behavior. CB2 receptors are primarily present in the immune system and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, and may also be present in neurons.

[0121] Cannabinoids are known to those skilled in the art and are also described and elucidated in part by Radwan et al. Molecules.

[0128] Each cannabinoid will also be understood to include its isomers, such as structural and stereoisomers (including enantiomers), -A and -B isomers of each cannabinoid, double bond isomers, and other such isomers known to those skilled in the art. Thus, "THC" will, in embodiments, be understood to include THC-A and THC-B. Reference to a cannabinoid includes various alkyl chain lengths attached thereto, as exemplified by Cn, where "n" refers to the number of carbon atoms in each alkyl chain. Thus, "THC" also includes THC-C1, THC-C2, THC-C3, THC-C4, THC-C5, THC-C6, and THC-C7. Reference to a given cannabinoid also includes all possible isomers, such as its -A and -B isomers, along with all possible combinations of alkyl chain lengths, including chains consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 carbon atoms, but is not limited to these. Thus, as used herein, reference to "THC" includes THC-C1 A, THC-C1 B, THC-C2 A, THC-C2 B, THC-C3 A, THC-C3 B, THC-C4 A, THC-C4 B, THC-C5 A, THC-C5 B, THC-C6 A, THC-C6 B, THC-C7 A, and THC-C7 B. As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, such logic applies to all cannabinoids disclosed herein. THC is used merely to illustrate such logic and should not be construed as limiting.

[0132] In some embodiments, the therapeutic combination includes a second bioactive molecule derived from Cannabis, hi some embodiments, the second bioactive molecule derived from Cannabis is a flavone and / or flavonoid, a terpene and / or terpenoid, a carbohydrate, a fatty acid or fatty acid ester (FAE), an amide, an amine, a phytosterol, or a phenolic compound.

[0133] Flavonoids are a broad class of water-soluble polyphenolic molecules (i.e., containing a phenyl group (-CH) linked to a hydroxyl group (-OH)), of which approximately 20 species are widely present in cannabis. Their primary function is to provide color to plants, particularly flowers. In cannabis, the deep purple color is due to the flavonoids anthocyanins and anthoxanthins. In addition to coloring, flavonoids have been shown to confer health benefits through regulating cell signaling pathways and through various anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, and anticancer activities. For example, the cannabis flavonoid apigenin has potent anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties, and butin has been shown to reduce oxidative stress-related cellular dysfunction. Other bioactive flavonoids found in Cannabis include cannaflavin, kaempferol, orientin, luteolin, quercetin, silymarin, and vitexin.

[0134] In embodiments, flavonoids include those broadly described in Radwan 2021, including orientin, vitexin, isovitexin, apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol, and quercetin flavonoids, which, in embodiments, may be methylated, glycosylated, prenylated, or geranylated.

[0135] In embodiments, the flavonoid is orientin, orientin-O-glucoside, orientin-7-O-glucoside, orientin-7-O-rhamnoglucoside, vitexin, vitexin-O-glucoside, vitexin-7-O-glucoside, vitexin-7-O-rhamnoglucoside, citisoside, citisoside glucoside, isovitexin, isovitexin-O-glucoside, isovitexin-7-O-glucocarbinoside, isovitexin-7-O-rhamnoglucoside, apigenin-7-O-glucoside, apigenin-7-O-glucuronide , apigenin-7-O'P-coumaroylglucoside, 6-prenylapigenin, apigenin-6,8-di-gluco-pyranoside, luteolin-C-glucuronide, luteolin-7-O-glucuronide, crabflavin A, crabflavin B, crabflavin C, chrysoeriol, kaempferol-3-O-diglucoside, quercetin-3-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-diglucoside, kaempferol-3-O-sophoroside, quercetin-3-O-sophoroside, rutin, quercetin, naringenin, or naringin.

[0136] Terpenes are a large class of organic hydrocarbon compounds containing one or more repeating units of a five-carbon building block known as the isoprene unit (i.e., 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, which has the molecular formula CH). As a group, terpenes, which are isoprene polymers, are often referred to as the "isoprenoid group." The isoprene units may be linked end-to-end to form linear chains or may be arranged to form rings (hence the molecular formula CH). n where n is the number of linked isoprene units. Terpenes are classified according to the number of isoprene units they contain: hemiterpenes (1 unit), monoterpenes (2 units), sesquiterpenes (3 units), diterpenes (4 units), sesterterpenes (5 units), triterpenes (6 units), sesquaterpenes (7 units), tetraterpenes (8 units), and polyterpenes (9 or more units).

[0137] Terpenes are sometimes referred to as "terpenoids" when they undergo oxidation and acquire additional oxygen-containing functional groups (e.g., after cannabis is cured and dried) or when modified by the addition or removal of functional groups (e.g., methyl groups (-CH3)). The presence and specific combinations of terpenes impart distinctive odors and flavors to different plants (and different cannabis strains). In cannabis, terpenes are the largest group of phytochemicals, with at least 120 molecules identified. Terpenes typically account for 10-20% of the total oil secreted by the resin glands of cannabis. Terpenes comprise the majority of the chemicals in smoke from heated or vaporized cannabis flowers, often accounting for more than 50%, while cannabinoids typically account for 10-20%.

[0138] While cannabinoids are more commonly understood to be responsible for the psychosomatic effects of cannabis, terpenes also exhibit a wide range of such effects (see, e.g., Russo. Br J Pharmacol. 2011;163(7):1344-1364). For example, the terpene β-myrcene has been shown to have sedative effects and is thought to be responsible for the heavy "body high." β-Myrcene has also been demonstrated to reduce inflammation, block liver carcinogenesis, and act as an analgesic and muscle relaxant. The terpenes linalool, nerolidol, and pulegone also exhibit sedative effects. Others, such as limonene and terpinolene, in contrast, exhibit stimulating effects. Other terpenes exhibit more distinct effects. For example, α-humulene has appetite suppressant properties. Limonene has anticancer, anxiolytic, and immunostimulatory properties, and nerolidol also possesses anticancer properties. β-Caryophyllene has anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective effects. Pentacyclic triterpenes such as β-amyrin and cycloartenol exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties.

[0139] Terpenes readily cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) ​​and, when ingested, may exert their effects by modulating neurotransmitters in the brain. For example, linalool has been shown to modulate glutamatergic and gabaminergic neurotransmitters, which may explain its analgesic, anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant properties. α-Pinene is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and may therefore aid memory. Phytol, a diterpene, increases gabaminergic expression. Other terpenes have been shown to affect serotonergic and dopaminergic neurotransmitters.

[0140] Some terpenes interact directly with the ECS. For example, β-caryophyllene selectively binds to CB2 receptors as a functional CB2 agonist, supporting its anxiolytic and antidepressant properties. Terpenes have also been shown to alter cell membrane permeability and modulate the effects of THC and other cannabinoids. Because terpenes are lipophilic, they interact with lipid membranes, ion channels, a variety of different receptors (including both G protein-coupled odorant receptors and neurotransmitter receptors), and enzymes. Through these and other mechanisms, terpenes in cannabis may not only elicit effects alone or in combination with other terpenes, but may also modulate (including synergistically) the effects of the various cannabinoids present.

[0147] 2. Dipteryx In some embodiments, the plant parts of the therapeutic combination are derived from Dipteryx. In embodiments where a plant part is described as being "derived" from Dipteryx, it will be understood that the plant part includes, by way of non-limiting example, Dipteryx material such as raw (i.e., unprocessed) Dipteryx biomass, a Dipteryx extract (e.g., an extract described herein, e.g., an aqueous extract, such as an aqueous solution, and / or an ethanolic extract), or material derived from Dipteryx, including a molecule naturally occurring in Dipteryx (e.g., a primary or secondary bioactive molecule described in an embodiment herein), whether the molecule is actually obtained by isolating the molecule from Dipteryx or whether it is obtained by another means (e.g., chemical synthesis).

[0148] In some embodiments, the therapeutic combination comprises a Dipteryx extract. In some embodiments, the therapeutic combination comprises a primary bioactive molecule and / or a secondary bioactive molecule from a species of the genus Dipteryx.

[0149] In some embodiments, the primary bioactive molecule and / or the secondary bioactive molecule is from Dipteryx, while in other embodiments, the primary bioactive molecule and / or the secondary bioactive molecule is from another genus in the tribe Dipterygeae, which further includes the genera Monopteryx, Pterodon, and Taralea.

[0150] In embodiments, the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules are derived from Dipteryx, including D. odorata, also referred to herein as "kumaru tree" or "kumaru." Dipteryx is a genus of large trees in the family Fabaceae, native to South and Central America and the Caribbean, and formerly known as the genus Coumarouna. In some embodiments, the bioactive molecule, such as coumarin, is derived from a plant in the Dipteryx genus, such as Dipteryx odorata (i.e., coumarin), while in other embodiments, the bioactive molecule, such as coumarin, is derived from a plant in another genus, including any genera in the Amburaneae tribe, such as Amburana, Mildbraediodendron, Myrocarpus, Myrospermum, Myroxylon, and Petaladenium. Thus, in some embodiments, species from such other genera, and extracts and bioactive molecules therefrom, are considered equivalents of similar extracts and bioactive molecules from Dipteryx.

[0151] In some embodiments, the therapeutic combination comprises a primary bioactive molecule and / or a secondary bioactive molecule derived from the species Dipteryx odorata.

[0152] Dipteryx odorata is known by many names, including Coumarouna odorata, cumar tree (Brazil), tonka bean tree, Brazilian teak, Tonkin bean, rumara, cumar (Guyana), cumarzeiro (Portugal), Charapira (Peru), Charapira del Murcielago (Peru), Zihuahuaco (Peru), and Sarapia (Venezuela, Colombia), all of which may be used interchangeably or considered equivalent in accordance with the disclosure herein. Dipteryx odorata is a large tropical rainforest canopy tree that grows up to 30 meters in height in the Amazon. It can be found in Brazil, Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Nigeria, Peru, and Colombia. Historically, the seeds and bark of Dipteryx odorata have been used by local Amazonian people: the seeds were fermented with rum and used as a shampoo for snakebites, cuts, bruises, coughs, and rheumatism; the seed oil was used to prevent earaches and ear infections; and the bark was used as a bath additive for fever sufferers.

[0153] The seeds (also called "tonka beans") from the cumar tree (Tonka bean) contain the bioactive molecule coumarin, which has a pleasant vanilla-like scent and has been used as a flavoring agent in perfumes, soaps, foods, and tobacco products. These preparations typically involve fermenting the beans (e.g., with local rum) and drying (typically air-drying), resulting in a dusting of coumarin crystals on the outside of the seeds, giving them a matte appearance.

[0154] In embodiments, the disclosed combinations (e.g., "therapeutic combinations," a term that also includes the disclosed compositions by implication) that include bioactive molecules from Dipteryx, such as coumarin, can exhibit antispasmodic, emmenagogue, cardiotonic, antiasthmatic, and anti-inflammatory effects.

[0155] a. Primary and secondary bioactive molecules from Dipteryx In some embodiments, the therapeutic combination comprises a first bioactive molecule and / or a second bioactive molecule derived from Dipteryx.

[0156] In embodiments, the primary bioactive molecule from Dipteryx is coumarin (2H-chromen-2-one, 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one), a colorless crystalline solid that gives tonka beans their characteristic vanilla-like odor and flavor and may also act as a chemical defense against predators.

[0157] Coumarins are obtained from Dipteryx and countless other plant species, including vanilla grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum), sweet woodruff (Galium odoratum), sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata), sweet clover (Melilotus spp.), cinnamon, including Ceylon cinnamon or "true cinnamon" (Cinnamomum verum), Chinese cinnamon or Chinese cassia (C. cassia), Indonesian cinnamon or Padang cassia (C. burmannii), Saigon cinnamon or Vietnamese cassia (C. loureiroi), Deatong (Carphephorus odoratissimus), Tilo (Justicia pectoralis), mullein (Verbascum spp.), many cherry trees in the Prunus genus, and in trace amounts from strawberries, blackcurrants, apricots, and cherries (Ananthakrishnan et al. Int J Food Sci Pollut Res (2018) 14:199–204). Prop. 2018;21:50-57; Wang et al. J Agric Food Chem. 2013;61(18):4470-476; Khan & Ehab. Deertongue.

Food Chem. 2012;135(4):2157-2162; and National Center for Biotechnology Information. PubChem Compound Summary for CID 323, Coumarin). In some alternative embodiments, the coumarin is extracted, isolated, or otherwise obtained from any of these or other such species other than from Dipteryx.

[0158] In some embodiments, the biologically active molecule is a compound derived from coumarin (e.g., a phenylpropanoid, a coumarin, or a coumarinoid) and may be used in the disclosed combinations, compositions, and methods; such compounds include, for example, the biologically active molecules umbelliferone, aesculetin, herniarin, psoralen, dicoumarol, imperatorin, brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difenacoum, auraptene, ansacrine, phenprocoumon, PSB-SB-487, PSB-SB-1202, scopoletin, and warfarin (see, e.g., Laposata et al. N Engl J Med. 2007;356(2):174-182; Syah et al. Nat Prod Res. 2009;23(7):591-594).

[0159] In embodiments, the secondary bioactive molecule from Dipteryx is coumaric acid, a coumarin derivative, an isoflavone, a lupeol derivative, a fatty acid ester, (±)-balanofonin, (-)-lariciresinol, 3'-hydroxyretsin-8-methyl ether, 5-methoxyxanthocercin A, 6,4'-dihydroxy-3'-methoxyaurone, 7-hydroxychromone, 7,3'-dihydroxy-8,4'-dimethoxy-isoflavone, betulin, butin, coumaric acid-β-glucoside, dipteryxin, dip The compounds are tellixic acid, eriodictyol, ferulic acid, isoliquiritigenin, lupeol, melilotoside, melilotoside-1-p-coumaryl-β-d-glucose, methyl-linolenic acid, methyl-oleic acid, O-coumaric acid, O-hydroxycoumaric acid, odoratin, P-hydroxybenzoic acid, lettucin, lettucin-8-methyl ether, sulfuretin, salicylic acid, afrormicin, castinin, linoleic acid, oleic acid, 3',4',7'-trihydroxyflavone, luteolin, and umbelliferone.

[0163] Algae, broadly defined, refers to a large, polyphyletic group of photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms. In general, there is no universally accepted definition of algae, but one way of describing the multiple groups that encompass "algae" is that they have chlorophyll as their primary photosynthetic pigment and lack a sterile cell envelope around their reproductive cells (Lee. Phycology. Cambridge University Press. 2008).

[0164] Algae include species that can live in freshwater and / or saltwater and generally include Euglenophyta (euglenoids), Chrysophyta (golden brown algae and diatoms), Pyrrophyta (fire algae), Chlorophyta (green algae), Rhodophyta (red algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae), and Xanthophyta (yellow-green algae) (Baweja & Sahoo. (2015). Classification of algae. The algae world, 31-55).

[0166] Culturally, Porphyra has been cultivated in East Asia and used to produce "nori" and other forms of edible seaweed, such as that used in sushi, and to bind and fix rice to other proteins, such as fish. Some species of Porphyra are also harvested in Western Europe to produce seaweed bread, eaten primarily in Wales as part of traditional local cuisine (Harford. Laver. https: / / www.eatweeds.co.uk / laver-porphyra.ndAccessed June 6, 2022).

[0167] In one embodiment, the red algae is Porphyra umbilicalis. Broadly speaking, umbilicalis is a membranous, monolamellar alga with irregularly lobed olive- to brown-colored leaves (up to 200 mm long) that split from a central holdfast, generally giving it a lettuce-like appearance. Like other Porphyra species, umbilicalis grows on rocks and occasionally mussels in mid-tide and splash zones, and is abundant from spring through summer. In one embodiment, the red algae is Pyropia perforata. Perforata is generally purple / green in color, has lobed blades, and can reach 30 cm in width and length. Perforata grows epiphytically on rocks or other algae. In one embodiment, the red alga is Pyropia yezoensis, which has a disc-shaped holdfast and a short stalk, membranous, single-layered folded blades, and is colored red, brown, or dark green.

[0176] III. Obtaining bioactive molecules In some embodiments, the biologically active molecules of the therapeutic combination are commercially available and commercially sourced (e.g., Cayman Chemical Co., Ann Arbor, MI; Sigma-Aldrich, Burlington, MA).

[0177] In embodiments, the disclosed primary and secondary bioactive molecules may be obtained via, by way of non-limiting examples: extraction, synthesis, biosynthesis, whole plants, Cannabis flowers or Cannabis biomass, fruiting mycelia, fungal mycelium, fungal biomass produced in bioreactors, truffles (hardened fungal bodies), cumar seeds (tonka beans), or Porphyra or Pyropia algae, whether whole, isolated, and / or collected as fractions. Exemplary means of obtaining the bioactive molecules are disclosed.

[0178] A. Extraction In some embodiments, the extracts (e.g., fungal extracts, plant extracts, or algal extracts) used in the disclosed therapeutic combinations are obtained by use of extraction techniques known to those of skill in the art, hi some embodiments, the disclosed primary and secondary bioactive molecules are provided in the form of extracts produced according to extraction techniques known to those of skill in the art.

[0179] Without being bound by theory, broadly, extraction systems function by introducing a substance, such as a fungal, plant, and / or algal substance (e.g., containing desired primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules), into a solvent capable of separating the desired primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules from the substance to form a solution (extract) containing the solvent and the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules.

[0180] The extracts can be used directly in the disclosed combinations, compositions, or methods, or can first be further processed, such as by further extraction, filtration, distillation, fractionation, sub-fractionation, isolation, and / or purification, and other such methods known in the art, including combinations thereof.

[0181] Various types of extraction systems exist, utilizing different methods and having different parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure, solvents), which can be tailored to a desired end product, e.g., a desired primary and / or secondary bioactive molecule. Many such characteristics will be known to those skilled in the art. Without being bound by theory, for example, extraction systems generally follow the rule that "like dissolves like." Thus, polar solvents are used to extract polar bioactive molecules, and nonpolar solvents are used to extract nonpolar bioactive molecules (Lowery & Richardson, Mechanism and Theory in Organic Chemistry, 3rd ed. Harper Collins Publishers; 1987).

[0182] General methods for extracting primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules, creating plant, algal, and fungal extracts thereof, and producing purified products containing the desired compounds free of undesirable plant, algal, or fungal material, chemicals, and other impurities are known in the art, and are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,403,126, 8,846,409, and 8,895,078. See U.S. Patent Nos. 10,059,684, 10,239,808, 10,246,431, 10,300,494, 10,307,447, 10,406,453, 10,413,845, and 10,414,709, as well as U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2003 / 0017216A1 and 2016 / 0038437A1, and the references cited therein, all of which are incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein.

[0183] The exemplary extraction methods and systems disclosed in such references and elsewhere herein should not be construed as limiting, and many variations will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. While exemplary extraction methods, including those described herein, are disclosed as a series of steps, other extraction methods useful in practicing the present disclosure and obtaining bioactive molecules may deviate from such steps, including altering, removing, adding, or rearranging such steps, as would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art in light of this disclosure and general knowledge in the art.

[0184] As used herein, "extract" may refer to, for example, a botanical extract (e.g., a fungus, Psilocybe, plant, Cannabis, Dipteryx, algae, or other extract containing the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules disclosed herein) prepared from a botanical source ("botanical" is defined herein). In some embodiments, the extract undergoes further extraction, filtration, fractionation, sub-fractionation, partial, substantial, or complete purification, or other processing to obtain a particular bioactive molecule separated from other components, and such bioactive molecule is found in a filtrate, fraction, sub-fraction, partially purified product, substantially purified product, fully purified product, isolate, or the like, and may, in some cases, be obtained as a single component or multiple single components separated from all other components. In some embodiments, the extract is obtained as a whole plant extract, whole fungal extract, or whole algae extract without being fractionated, subfractionated, partially purified, substantially purified, or completely purified, or other processed to obtain a specific bioactive molecule separated from other components, which may be referred to herein as a "whole extract." In alternative embodiments of any exemplary embodiment disclosed herein, the whole extract is replaced with a fraction, subfractionated, partially purified, substantially purified, completely purified, isolated, etc., as well as a single bioactive molecule or molecules from the extract (including in the extract), or a molecule produced synthetically, such as by partial or complete chemical synthesis, or biosynthesis.

[0185] Therefore, extracts may include purified extracts. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, "purified extract" may refer to a plant extract that has undergone further processing after preparation. In some exemplary embodiments, the purified extract may be, for example, a product obtained by soaking or heating the preparation in water and / or alcohol (e.g., depending on whether and to what extent the desired bioactive molecule is water-soluble), stirring, cooling the resulting liquid, filtering, removing unwanted products (repeated as necessary), and then evaporating enough liquid solvent to obtain the desired concentration (or completely, for example, to obtain an amorphous or crystalline precipitate), or using a spray dryer to produce a purified dry powder. Other purification techniques are known to those skilled in the art, and generally, extraction and purification techniques for obtaining highly pure bioactive compounds will be known to those skilled in the art.

[0186] To maintain the purified dry powder as a flowable powder that is easy to work with during formulation, for example when adding the dry powder to a capsule, starch or other carriers may be added to the purified extract, but when referring to the weight of the "purified extract," such carriers, diluents, or excipients are excluded from the total amount.

[0187] In embodiments, the extract may be "standardized," which refers to an extract that contains a primary and / or secondary bioactive molecule at a particular concentration. Methods for producing a standardized extract will be known to those skilled in the art, such as quantifying the concentration of the extract and diluting the extract to a standardized concentration by adding a carrier, diluent, or excipient, or further concentrating the extract to increase the concentration.

[0188] "Natural" may refer to a substance that is isolated, extracted, or otherwise obtained from a natural source, such as a fungus, plant, or algae. Thus, naturally occurring primary or secondary bioactive molecules, such as natural cannabinoids, may be isolated or extracted from a Cannabis plant. Accordingly, in various disclosed embodiments, compositions are derived from plant sources, including fungi, plants, and algae, as extracts or by other means, and comprise a botanical drug substance or a Cannabis-derived drug substance. In embodiments, such compositions comprise a botanical or Cannabis-derived drug. In other embodiments, such compositions comprise a botanical or Cannabis-derived drug that is substantially free of impurities.

[0189] In some embodiments, when the disclosed combinations or compositions include multiple extracts (e.g., fungal extracts, plant extracts, algae extracts), the concentrations of bioactive molecules contained therein are quantified (e.g., according to the methods disclosed herein and other methods known to those skilled in the art). The concentrations of bioactive molecules in the extracts may vary based on the concentrations of the bioactive molecules in the corresponding source material (e.g., raw fungal, plant, or algae biomass). Thus, the concentrations of bioactive molecules in the disclosed compositions may vary from batch to batch based on the variability of the extracts between batches. In accordance with FDA regulations (FDA. Botanical Drug Development Guidance for Industry. 2016. CDER Drug Quality. CMC), bioactive molecules (e.g., primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules disclosed herein) can be added to the extracts disclosed herein (e.g., fungal, plant, or algae extracts) or to the disclosed combinations or compositions containing such extracts. This may be done, for example, to standardize the disclosed combinations or compositions and ensure a consistent concentration of bioactive molecules from batch to batch, even though raw materials or extracts thereof may vary in their concentration of bioactive molecules.

[0190] 1. Exemplary Extraction of Molecules from Fungi In embodiments, the therapeutic combination comprises a first bioactive molecule and / or a second bioactive molecule from a fungus, hi embodiments, the first bioactive molecule and / or the second bioactive molecule are obtained by extraction of fungal material.

[0191] Without wishing to be bound by theory, fungal extraction methods can generally be described as follows: first, fungal material containing the desired primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules is obtained, optionally dried (e.g., using means such as a low temperature oven, a food dehydrator, and / or a commercial dryer), optionally ground, crushed, soaked, and / or milled to form a substantially fine powder, which is optionally sieved, for example, for consistency.

[0192] The fungal material is then combined with a solvent (e.g., methanol, ethanol, water, or a mixture thereof) capable of extracting the desired primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules to form a slurry, which is then stirred for a predetermined period of time, e.g., about 24 hours, to promote extraction. The solvent is then filtered and collected. In embodiments, the filter may include cheesecloth, filter paper, and / or a filtration system. If desired, the extract may be evaporated using any of several evaporation methods that involve the application of heat, such as ambient temperature evaporation, rotary evaporation, vacuum evaporation, and those that utilize ovens to create more concentrated extracts, as well as combinations thereof. In embodiments, the fungal material may be resaturated with the same or a different solvent after the initial filtration to complete secondary, tertiary, or further extractions. Extraction methods and variations thereof may be selected as appropriate by those skilled in the art.

[0193] In embodiments, heated extraction is utilized. In embodiments, heated extraction generally follows the process described above, except, for example, that the solvent is heated, stirring is completed in a heated environment, or the extraction is otherwise performed at an elevated temperature relative to ambient temperature. In embodiments, the extraction is completed at a temperature at which psilocybin is substantially dephosphorylated to psilocin. In embodiments, heated extraction is completed at a temperature greater than about 70°C. In embodiments, the extraction is performed below a temperature at which substantial dephosphorylation of psilocybin occurs. In embodiments, the extraction occurs at a temperature or temperature range selected to produce a desired ratio of psilocybin to psilocin, for example, based on the ratios in the starting materials.

[0194] In some embodiments, ultrasonic extraction is utilized. In some embodiments, mushrooms or other fungal material are dried, cut, and / or crushed prior to ultrasonic extraction. In some embodiments, an ultrasonic extractor is utilized to expose the fungal material to ultrasonic vibrations via an ultrasonic probe. In some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe vibrates at 20 kHz or greater. Without being bound by theory, as ultrasonic waves travel through a liquid, they generate high-pressure (compression) and low-pressure (rarefaction or expansion) cycles (Hielscher Ultrasonics. Fast and Simple Ultrasonic Cannabis Extraction. https: / / www.hielscher.com / fast-simple-ultrasonic-cannabis-extraction.htm. Accessed February 19, 2024). During the low-pressure vacuum cycle, tiny vacuum bubbles or cavities are generated in the liquid, which grow through several pressure cycles. The compression phase of the liquid and bubbles creates a positive pressure, while the rarefaction phase creates a vacuum (negative pressure). During the compression-expansion cycle, cavities in the liquid grow until they are too large to absorb any more energy, at which point they implode. The implosion of these cavities produces a variety of high-energy sonomechanical effects known as acoustic / ultrasonic cavitation (id.), during which gas bubbles are generated in the sonicated liquid, rupturing the cell walls of plant tissue and releasing intracellular compounds, including primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules (Suslick. Sonoluminescence and Sonochemistry. In: Meyers, Ed. Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology. 3rd ed. Academic Press. 2001).

[0195] In some embodiments, extraction is performed using a Soxhlet extractor. In some embodiments, the Soxhlet extraction is performed using an ethanol and water solvent (e.g., 80% ethanol and 20% water). In some embodiments, the solvent is heated to reflux, and the solvent vapor rises up a distillation arm and flows into a chamber containing a thimble of fungal material. A condenser on top of the apparatus cools the solvent vapor and drips it into the chamber containing the fungal material. As a result, the chamber containing the fungal material slowly fills with warm solvent. When the Soxhlet chamber is nearly full, the chamber is emptied by a siphon, and the solvent is returned to the distillation flask. In some embodiments, the Soxhlet extraction is performed for about 6 to about 10 hours, including about 6 hours, about 7 hours, about 8 hours, about 9 hours, or about 10 hours, using standard equipment known to those skilled in the art. In some embodiments, the Soxhlet extraction is performed for about 7 hours. In other embodiments, the Soxhlet extraction is performed for less than 6 hours or more than 10 hours.

[0196] Extracts of fungal material (including primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules) produced according to different methods described herein or other methods known to those of skill in the art can be combined to provide various benefits. For example, fungal extracts produced according to different techniques may contain different concentrations of primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules, and combining such extracts in the disclosed therapeutic combinations can impart advantageous or synergistic properties.

[0197] In some embodiments, the fungal portion of the disclosed therapeutic combination comprises a mixture of fungal extracts. In some embodiments, the fungal portion of the disclosed therapeutic combination comprises a mixture of ultrasonic and Soxhlet extracts. In some embodiments, the mixture comprises an ultrasonic:Soxhlet ratio (e.g., volume ratio (v / v) or weight ratio (w / w) of extraction solutions, or a molar ratio, such as the molar ratio of one or more constituent bioactive molecules in the extract) of about 0.5:1 to 10:1, including ranges between these values, including 0.5:1, 1:1, 1.25:1, 1.5:1, 1.75:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, and 10:1.

[0198] In some embodiments, the mixture of fungal extracts comprises ultrasonic extract and Soxhlet extract in an ultrasonic:Soxhlet volume ratio of about 0.5:1 to 10:1 (including ranges between these values), including 0.5:1, 1:1, 1.25:1, 1.5:1, 1.75:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, and 10:1. In some embodiments, the mixture comprises ultrasonic extract and Soxhlet extract in a weight ratio of about 0.5:1 to about 5:1, including 5:1, 1:1, 1.25:1, 1.5:1, 1.75:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, and 5:1. In some embodiments, the mixture comprises an ultrasonic:Soxhlet molar ratio (e.g., a molar ratio such as the molar ratio of one or more constituent bioactive molecules in the extract) of about 0.5:1 to 10:1 (including ranges between these values), including 0.5:1, 1:1, 1.25:1, 1.5:1, 1.75:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, and 10:1.

[0199] In some embodiments, the mixture comprises an ultrasonic extract and a Soxhlet extract in an ultrasonic:Soxhlet weight ratio of about 2:1.

[0200] Advantages of combining different fungal extracts in the disclosed combinations may include, for example, improved solution stability during extraction of the fungal-derived bioactive molecules described herein. For example, certain compositions disclosed herein include psilocin and / or psilocybin as components of the fungal portion. The instability of psilocybin, particularly psilocin, has long been recognized. However, the mechanism of degradation and the precise chemistry of the products remain a topic of ongoing research. Studies of Psilocybe mushrooms injured to expose the alkaloids to environmental oxygen have revealed that psilocybin is dephosphorylated to psilocin, and its hydroxyl group is oxidized to produce a 4-oxo decomposition product (Lenz et al. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2020;59(4):1450-1454) (Lenz et al., 2020). Studies into possible solution degradation mechanisms have revealed that oxidative dimerization may also contribute to psilocin's solution instability (Lenz et al. Chemistry. 2021;27(47):12166-12171) ("Lenz et al., 2021"). In some embodiments, combining fungal extracts (e.g., as in the disclosed combinations where the fungal portion includes both an ultrasonic extract and a Soxhlet extract) protects the resulting combination from oxidative degradation. Without being bound by theory, different levels of primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules in different fungal extracts, which may include naturally occurring stabilizers and antioxidants, may, in combination, produce additive or synergistic effects that stabilize the resulting formulation against degradation pathways such as oxidative dimerization. In embodiments, oxidative degradation of the compositions may be monitored quantitatively (e.g., by chemical analytical methods such as those disclosed in Lenz et al., 2020 and Lenz et al., 2021; or otherwise known to those of skill in the art) or qualitatively (e.g., by visual monitoring of the characteristic "bluing" reaction of psilocybin- and / or psilocin-containing extracts and substances).

[0201] In some embodiments, the disclosed combinations, in which the fungal portion comprises multiple fungal extracts, may also have other advantageous properties, such as increased miscibility with other portions of the combination (e.g., plant and / or algae portions) during extraction of the fungal-derived bioactive molecules disclosed herein. As an example, some disclosed compositions contain components with high water solubility (e.g., fungal extracts containing psilocybin and / or psilocin, or fungal extracts containing these compounds) and components with low water solubility (e.g., plant parts containing cannabinoids or cannabis extracts). During preparation and storage of such compositions, precipitation may occur due to mutual incompatibility between the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules and the solvent system. Without being bound by theory, different levels of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules in different fungal extracts may result in additive or synergistic effects that stabilize the resulting formulation against precipitation.

[0202] In some embodiments, the disclosed combinations, in which the fungal portion comprises multiple different fungal extracts, have improved stability (e.g., against oxidation and / or precipitation) such that additional stabilizing excipients (e.g., antioxidants, stabilizers) are not required for the combination to be sufficiently stable under ambient conditions. Reducing or eliminating the need for such additional stabilizing excipients may provide additional benefits, such as improved bioavailability, as these components may inhibit absorption of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules.

[0203] 2. Exemplary Extraction of Molecules from Cannabis In embodiments, the therapeutic combination comprises a primary bioactive molecule and / or a secondary bioactive molecule derived from a Cannabis species, hi embodiments, the primary bioactive molecule and / or the secondary bioactive molecule can be obtained via extraction of Cannabis plant material.

[0204] In embodiments, an exemplary extraction system is as follows: First, in embodiments, substantially dried Cannabis plant material is obtained. In embodiments, the dried Cannabis plant material may then be ground and optionally milled to obtain a fine powder, and optionally sieved. As discussed above, milling and micronization increases the surface area available for the solvent to interact with the material, and therefore may increase the yield of desired primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules within the material. In embodiments, the dried, optionally ground, and / or milled plant material is then placed into an extraction system that generally includes a loop through which chilled ethanol (maintained between -30°C and -40°C) is circulated. Evaporation is used to remove the solvent, followed by distillation and filtration to further concentrate the extract and remove impurities.

[0205] In such an exemplary extraction system, decarboxylation occurs at high temperature and pressure (which occurs at about 110°C at standard pressure). For example, if a product without the intoxicating effects of THC is desired, an extraction process using temperatures and pressures below threshold values ​​can be selected. Column chromatography, for example, can also be used to remove THC after extraction.

[0206] Although the exemplary extraction processes or systems are disclosed as a series of steps being performed or being performed in the system, it will be understood that deviations from these steps, such as altering, removing, and adding various steps at any time during the extraction, are within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0207] In some exemplary embodiments, ethanol extraction is used, but it is understood that this is only one extraction process that can produce an extract useful in a therapeutic combination. In other embodiments, other extraction methods and solvents can be used, non-limiting examples of which include subcritical and supercritical CO2 extraction, hydrocarbon extraction with butane, propane, other hydrocarbon liquids and gases, and mixtures thereof in any proportion, alcohol extraction with methanol or isopropyl alcohol, and other such extraction methods known to those skilled in the art, including variations thereof, for example, in temperature, pressure, and equipment. While any such extraction method can be used, it should be understood that certain extraction methods may offer certain advantages depending on the desired composition of the extract, as described in this disclosure and known to those skilled in the art.

[0208] As a non-limiting example, supercritical extraction, such as supercritical CO2 extraction, is useful for extracting cannabinoids and preserving terpenoids. Hot alcohol extraction is useful for extracting and decarboxylating cannabinoids, but also extracts various pigments and impurities. Cold alcohol extraction is more successful but less effective at isolating terpenes and cannabinoids from impurities than hot alcohol extraction. Hydrocarbon extraction, including butane and propane extraction, is effective at reducing impurities and pigments in extracts and is more efficient than cold alcohol extraction, for example.

[0209] Cannabis-derived primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules may be obtained by extraction of the Cannabis plant and used to prepare Cannabis-derived drug substances and Cannabis-derived pharmaceutical products.

[0210] "Cannabis-derived drug substance" may refer to a botanical drug substance derived from the Cannabis plant (including plant parts, plant part biomass, and plant exudates), and may include, by way of non-limiting and purely illustrative example, primary extracts prepared by processes including maceration, percolation, extraction with solvents such as C1-C5 alcohols (e.g., ethanol), hydrocarbons (e.g., propane, butane), and sub- or supercritical carbon dioxide.

[0211] "Cannabis-derived medicinal products" may refer to primary cannabis extracts that have been further purified, for example, by distillation or chromatography. Those skilled in the art will recognize that when certain solvents are used to prepare the primary extract, the resulting extract may contain non-specific lipid-soluble materials. Those skilled in the art will recognize that such impurities can be removed by a variety of processes, including winterization (e.g., cooling to -20°C followed by filtration to remove waxy ballast), further extraction or filtration, and distillation.

[0212] 3. Exemplary Extraction of Molecules from Dipteryx In embodiments, the therapeutic combination comprises a primary bioactive molecule and / or a secondary bioactive molecule derived from Dipteryx, hi embodiments, the primary bioactive molecule and / or the secondary bioactive molecule are obtained via extraction of kumaru seed (tonka bean).

[0213] As previously mentioned, the primary bioactive molecule in Dipteryx is coumarin, which can be extracted from coumarin seeds via extraction with polar solvents, such as, in embodiments, water, alcohols including, but not limited to, ethanol and methanol; and various ethers. An exemplary extraction system utilizing ethanol is described below.

[0214] In embodiments, ethanol extraction may be utilized to extract coumarin from coumarine seeds. In embodiments, the ethanol extraction may be ethanol percolation, in embodiments, using absolute ethanol. In embodiments, the ethanol percolation extraction system functions by first crushing the coumarine seeds to allow the ethanol solvent to enter and exit the beans. Preferably, the seeds are sufficiently crushed to increase the surface area for extraction and form a plant mass. The seeds are then placed in a filter placed over a collection device. Ethanol is then poured over the seed material, passed through the filter, and collected in the collection device. In embodiments, this is complete only when the color of the ethanol indicates that substantially no additional bioactive molecules have been collected.

[0215] Next, if necessary, excess ethanol is evaporated. This can be accomplished by applying heat to the resulting solution or by utilizing ambient evaporation. Other extraction methods may also be used, as known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, although coumarin is directly mentioned, it should be readily understood that, for example, secondary bioactive molecules derived from coumarin may also be extracted using the same or similar methods and may be present in the extract if the exemplary ethanol extraction method is utilized. Furthermore, the concentrations of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules can be determined as disclosed herein.

[0216] 4. Determining the Concentration of the Primary and / or Secondary Bioactive Molecules It will be appreciated that determining the concentration of primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules within an extract or within fungal, plant and / or algal material is within the capabilities of one of ordinary skill in the art. Several such means are disclosed below and may be used in embodiments.

[0217] As a non-limiting example of such a means, the concentrations of primary bioactive molecules from various Psilocybe species are shown below in Table 1 (taken from Mahmood. Bioactive Alkaloids from Fungi: Psilocybin. In: Ramawat, K., Merillon, JM. (eds) Natural Products. Springer, 2013 and organized by psilocybin content; see also Stamets. Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide. Ten Speed ​​Press. 1996), which shows the w / w% of psilocybin, psilocin, and baeocystin in dried mushrooms (containing negligible moisture weight, or sometimes referred to as "cracker dried"), as further described herein. [Table 1]

[0218] Thus, 100 mg of P. cubensis extract may, in some embodiments, contain about 0.63 mg of psilocybin, and 275 mg of P. azurescens extract may, in embodiments, contain about 4.895 mg.

[0219] It will be understood that the growth conditions of organisms such as fungi (as well as plants and algae) can affect the concentration of bioactive molecules found therein. The concentration of bioactive molecules can vary depending on the part of the organism from which they are obtained (e.g., cap vs. stem or mycelium, flower vs. leaf or stem, etc.), and other variables known in the art. One will understand how to select such growth conditions, part of the organism, etc., and how to determine the concentration of bioactive molecules using the disclosed methods or methods commonly known in the art.

[0220] In embodiments, the concentrations of primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules in fungi, plants, and / or algae are determined using liquid chromatography, such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Broadly, HPLC works by using a pump to pass a pressurized liquid solvent containing a sample mixture (in this case, a fungal extract) through a column filled with a solid adsorbent. Individual components in the sample interact differently with the adsorbent, resulting in different flow rates for each component, and the components are separated as they exit the column.

[0221] In embodiments, the concentrations of primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules in fungi, plants, and / or algae are determined using reverse-phase HPLC and single-wavelength detection, as disclosed in Samuelsson et al. Physiol Plant. 1977;40:315-319, incorporated herein by reference. Broadly speaking, reverse-phase HPLC generally proceeds in the same manner as the exemplary HPLC methods disclosed above, but with a hydrophobic stationary phase rather than a hydrophilic one. That is, hydrophobic molecules adsorb to the column packing, and hydrophilic molecules are eluted and detected first.

[0222] In embodiments, the concentration of primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules in fungi, plants, and / or algae is determined using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC / MS), as exemplified by Goff et al. Anal Chim Acta. 2024;1288:342161, incorporated herein by reference.

[0223] In embodiments, the concentration of primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules in fungi, plants, and / or algae is determined using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), as described in Veress et al. The Applications Book. 2019;32(7):387-388, incorporated herein by reference. Broadly speaking, HILIC is a normal-phase HPLC technique that utilizes a reversed-phase type eluent. The column has a hydrophilic stationary phase, and the eluent includes water, a buffer, and a high concentration of a water-miscible organic solvent.

[0224] In embodiments, the concentrations of primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules in fungi, plants, and / or algae are determined using rapid personal quantification tools that can be used to determine concentrations, such as the PSILO-QTest (Miraculix; Jena, Germany), which is useful for determining the concentration of psilocybin in fungi. The PSILO-QTest detects concentration using a chemical color reaction, with color intensity being proportional to the concentration of the bioactive molecule. In some embodiments, characterization of the fungal, plant, and / or algal parts of the disclosed combinations (e.g., characterization of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules) includes characterizing free and / or bound amino acids using known chromatographic techniques (e.g., LC-MS, HPLC). In embodiments, characterization includes determining the concentration of taurine in the fungal, plant, and / or algal parts.

[0225] B.Synthesis In embodiments, the primary and secondary bioactive molecules disclosed herein may be synthetic, where "synthetic," as used herein, can refer to substances produced in a laboratory by chemical synthesis (e.g., by a series of chemical processes or reactions using chemical substrates, reagents, and optionally catalysts), or by biosynthesis as discussed herein (e.g., including compounds from bioengineered organisms, and thus also referred to as including "biosynthesis" or "synthetic biology" or "synbio").

[0226] In general, methods for chemical synthesis, including the biologically active molecules disclosed herein, are well known in the art. Thus, methods for the synthesis of biologically active molecules and / or starting materials can be found in general references known in the art (e.g., Greene & Wuts. Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry. 2nd ed. Wiley. 1991; Harrison et al. Compendium of Synthetic Organic Methods. Vol. 1-8. John Wiley and Sons, 1971-1996; Beilstein. Beilstein Handbook of Organic Chemistry. 1990; Feiser et al. Reagents for Organic Synthesis. Vol. 1-17. Wiley Interscience. 1967-1994; Trost & Fleming. Comprehensive Organic Synthesis. Pergamon Press. 1991; Theilheimer's Synthetic Methods of Organic Chemistry. Volumes 1-45. Karger. 1991; March. Advanced Organic Chemistry. Wiley Interscience. 1991; Larock. Comprehensive Organic Synthesis. These methods are readily understood by those skilled in the art by consulting the following publications: "Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis. John Wiley & Sons. 1995; Paquette, Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis. John Wiley & Sons. 1995"; and can be used to synthesize biologically active molecules when they cannot be obtained by extraction or the like.Generally, these approaches are used for similar compounds (Shulgin & Shulgin, PiHKAL, A chemical love story, Transform Press, Berkeley CA, 1992; Glennon et al., J Med Chem. 1986; 29(2):194-199; Nichols et al. J Med Chem. 1991; 34(1):276-281; ​​Kedrowski et al., Organic Letters. 2007; 9(17):3205-3207; Heravi & Zadsirjan. Current Organic Synthesis. 2016; 13(6):780-833; Keri et al. Eur J Med Chem. 2017; 138:1002-1033; Perez Silanes et al. J Heterocycl. Chem. 2001;38(5):1025-1030; and references therein), and such applications are known and understood by those skilled in the art.

[0227] In embodiments, the disclosed primary and secondary bioactive molecules are obtained by biosynthesis. Biosynthesis refers to the production of molecules, such as the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules utilized in the therapeutic combination, within a cell or a cell-free system. In embodiments, the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules useful in the therapeutic combination can be produced via biosynthesis. Methods for biosynthesis of bioactive molecules will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the general literature known in the art (see, e.g., WO 2021 / 052989, WO 2019 / 173797, WO 2021 / 086513, and WO 2019 / 180309, all of which are incorporated herein by reference). Non-limiting examples of biosynthetic pathways known in the art include pathways for cannabinoids, flavonoids, carotenoids, psilocybin, psilocin, and other indole alkaloids (such as the primary and secondary bioactive molecules found in fungi), amino acids, and peptides (including monopeptides, dipeptides, tripeptides, and proteins).

[0228] In embodiments, the fungal-derived primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules are produced by biosynthesis. In embodiments, the plant-derived primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules are produced by biosynthesis. In embodiments, the algae-derived primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules are produced by biosynthesis.

[0229] C. Separation, Fractionation, and Purification In embodiments, the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules are obtained through isolation, fractionation, and / or purification. Fractionation refers to a separation process in which a volume of a mixture is divided into several smaller portions, called fractions, during a phase transition, the composition of which varies along a gradient.

[0230] In embodiments, fractions containing target primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules may be obtained via fractional distillation, column chromatography, fractional crystallization, fractional freezing, and bioassay-guided fractionation.

[0231] In embodiments, the isolation of primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules can be completed from the extract containing the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules.Many methods for separating compounds from extracts are known to those skilled in the art.However, exemplary methods include thin layer chromatography, column chromatography, flash chromatography, Sephadex chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography (Sasidharan et al. AJTCAM. 2011;8(1):1-10).

[0232] In embodiments, the extract may be further purified to isolate specific primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules. In embodiments, such purification techniques are known to those skilled in the art and may include HPLC and centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC).

[0233] D. Compound In embodiments, the disclosed primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules are pure or substantially pure. As used herein, the terms "pure" or "substantially pure" refer to a substance that is substantially or essentially free from components that normally accompany the substance when it is synthesized, manufactured, or otherwise produced. A "pure" or "substantially pure" preparation of a primary and / or secondary bioactive molecule is therefore defined as a preparation having a chromatographic purity (of the desired bioactive molecule) of greater than 90%, more preferably greater than 95%, more preferably greater than 96%, more preferably greater than 97%, more preferably greater than 98%, more preferably greater than 99%, more preferably greater than 99.5%, and most preferably greater than 99.9%, as determined by area normalization of an HPLC profile or other similar detection method. Preferably, a pure or substantially pure primary and / or secondary bioactive molecule is substantially free of other active compounds not intended for administration to a subject. In this context, "substantially free" means that active compounds other than the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules intended for administration to a subject are not detectable by HPLC or other similar detection methods or are below the desired detection threshold as defined above.

[0234] The disclosed primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules may contain one or more asymmetric centers, giving rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomers. The present disclosure includes all such possible isomers, including racemates and optically pure forms, as well as mixtures thereof. Optically active isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents or separated using conventional techniques. Various methods for preparing optically active forms and determining activity are known in the art.

[0235] The present disclosure also includes primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules that have at least one desired isotopic substitution of an atom at or above the natural abundance of that isotope, i.e., are isotopically enriched. Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers, i.e., the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. An example is deuterium ( 2 H) and tritium ( 3 Any isotope of hydrogen, including H, may be used anywhere within the depicted structures to achieve the desired result. Alternatively, or in addition, any isotope of carbon, e.g. 13 C and 14 C may also be used. Isotopic substitution, e.g., deuterium substitution, may be partial or complete. Partial deuterium substitution means that at least one hydrogen is replaced with deuterium. In embodiments, the isotope is enriched to at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99% or more at any desired position. In one embodiment, deuterium is enriched to 90%, 95%, or 99% at the desired position.

[0236] It will be understood that the primary and / or secondary biologically active molecules used in the disclosed methods also include pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such molecules. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids or bases, which can be synthesized by conventional chemical methods.

[0297] A. Synergy In embodiments, "synergy" may refer to a combination that is more effective than the additive effect of any two or more single primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules. For example, synergy allows for the effective treatment of a disease using lower amounts (doses) of the individual therapies. This may include lower doses of the first primary and / or secondary bioactive molecule or the second primary and / or secondary bioactive molecule ("apparent one-way synergy"), or lower doses of both the first and / or secondary bioactive molecules ("two-way synergy") than would normally be required when using either the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecule alone. For example, lower doses may result in increased safety and / or reduced toxicity without reducing efficacy. Synergy may also result in improved efficacy, including improved disease avoidance or mitigation, compared to single therapies.

[0298] "Synergistic effect" will also be understood to include an increase in potency, bioactivity, bioaccessibility, bioavailability, or therapeutic effect (including one or more additional therapeutic effects) that is greater than the additive contribution of the components acting alone and / or greater than the contribution of the isolated primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules alone.

[0299] There are many methods known to those skilled in the art for determining whether there is synergy with respect to a particular effect, i.e., whether the effect of two or more components when mixed together is greater than the sum of the effects of the individual components applied alone, thereby resulting in "1 + 1 > 2." Suitable methods include isobologram (or contour) analysis (Huang et al. Front Pharmacol. 2019; 10: 1222) or the Loewe additivity equation (Loewe & Muischnek. Archiv f experiment Pathol u Pharmakol. 1926; 114: 313-326). Synergistic effects can also be calculated using methods such as the sigmoid-Emax equation (Holford & Scheiner. Clin Pharmacokinet. 1981; 6(6): 429-453) and the median effect equation (Chou & Talalay. Adv Enzyme Regul. 1984; 22: 27-55). The graphs corresponding to the above equations are the concentration-effect curve and the combination index curve, respectively. The above equations can be applied to experimental data to generate corresponding graphs that can help evaluate the effect of the combination.

[0335] V. Pharmaceutical Compositions In some aspects, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the therapeutic combination are disclosed. A "pharmaceutical composition" (also shortened to "composition" unless the context indicates otherwise) comprises a quantity of the therapeutic combination (e.g., in unit dosage form) together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient. It will be understood that some embodiments do not comprise a single carrier, diluent, or excipient alone, but rather a plurality of carriers, diluents, and / or excipients. It will also be understood that the term "formulation," as used in embodiments herein, is equivalent to the terms "composition" and "pharmaceutical composition," unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0336] In some embodiments, the disclosed combinations or compositions include non-naturally occurring carriers, diluents, or excipients, examples of which would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art. In some embodiments, "non-naturally occurring" refers to a carrier, diluent, or excipient used in the disclosed combinations or compositions that does not naturally occur in the fungi, plants, and / or algae, or in the same fungi, plants, and / or algae from which the extracts and / or bioactive molecules of the combination or composition are or may be derived.

[0337] The compositions can be prepared by standard pharmaceutical formulation techniques such as those disclosed in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (2005) 21st ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.; The Merck Index (1996) 12th ed., Merck Publishing Group, Whitehouse, NJ; Pharm. Principles of Solid Dosage Forms (1993), Technomic Publishing Co., Inc., Lancaster, Pa.; and Ansel and Stoklosa, Pharm. Calculations (2001) 11th ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, Md.; and Poznansky et al. Drug Delivery Systems (1980), R.L. Juliano, ed., Oxford, NY, pp. 253-315. "Pharmaceutically acceptable" as used in reference to an agent means that the agent is generally safe and, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the cells of humans and other animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or complications, and is commensurate with a reasonable risk / benefit ratio.

[0338] The compositions comprising the therapeutic combination can be formulated into any suitable dosage form, for example, aqueous oral dispersions, aqueous oral suspensions, solid dosage forms including oral solid dosage forms, aerosols, controlled release dosage forms, fast melt dosage forms, effervescent formulations, self-emulsifying dispersions, solid solutions, liposomal dispersions, lyophilized formulations, tablets, capsules, pills, powders, patches, inhalants, nebulizers, pulsatile release formulations, multiparticulate formulations, immediate release formulations, controlled release formulations, sustained release formulations, extended release formulations, modified release formulations, and mixed immediate and controlled release formulations.

[0339] In embodiments, the composition is formulated in a unit dosage form. A "unit dosage form" refers to a physically discrete unit suitable as a unitary dosage for a subject to be treated, containing a predetermined amount of a biologically active molecule calculated to produce a desired therapeutic effect, together with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier, diluent, or excipient. Unit dosage forms can be used for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. A unit dosage form can contain a single dose or individual dose or unit, sub-dose, or an appropriate fraction thereof (e.g., one-half of a "total amount") of the composition to be administered. Unit dosage forms include capsules, troches, cachets, lozenges, tablets, ampoules, and vials, which may contain a freeze-dried or lyophilized composition; for example, a sterile liquid carrier may be added prior to administration or in vivo delivery. Unit dosage forms include ampoules and vials containing a liquid composition. Unit dosage forms include compounds for transdermal administration, such as "patches" that contact the epidermis for long or short periods of time.

[0340] In embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions are formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable oral dosage forms, including oral solid dosage forms and oral liquid dosage forms.

[0341] In embodiments, the composition is formulated as a pharmaceutically acceptable oral solid dosage form, including lozenges, troches, tablets, capsules, caplets, powders, pellets, multiparticulates, beads, spheres, capsules, pills, and / or any combination thereof.

In embodiments, the solid dosage form may contain pharmaceutically acceptable additives, such as compatible carriers, complexing agents, ionic dispersion modifiers, disintegrants, surfactants, lubricants, colorants, wetting agents, plasticizers, stabilizers, humectants, and antifoaming agents, alone or in combination, and may further contain auxiliary active agents, including preservatives, antioxidants, and probiotics, such as antibacterial agents, including biocides, antiviral agents, and antifungal agents. Preservatives can be used to inhibit microbial growth or enhance the stability of active ingredients to extend the shelf life of pharmaceutical compositions, and include EDTA, EGTA, benzalkonium chloride, and benzoates, such as benzoic acid or sodium benzoate. Antioxidants include compounds such as vitamin A, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E, tocopherols, other vitamins or provitamins, and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA).

[0342] In embodiments, the composition is formulated as a pharmaceutically acceptable oral liquid dosage form. Non-limiting examples of oral liquid dosage forms include tinctures, drops, emulsions, syrups, elixirs, suspensions, and solutions. In embodiments, oral liquid dosage forms can be formulated using any pharmaceutically acceptable excipient known to those skilled in the art for preparing liquid dosage forms, as well as solvents, diluents, carriers, excipients, and the like, selected appropriately depending on the solubility and other properties of the primary and / or secondary biologically active molecules and other components disclosed herein. Non-limiting examples of solvents include, for example, water, glycerin, simple syrup, alcohol, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), and combinations thereof.

[0343] In embodiments, oral liquid dosage forms may be monophasic or biphasic, the former being a substantially homogeneous solution dissolved in water or a non-aqueous solvent, and the latter referring to an oral liquid dosage form in which the bioactive molecules are not completely dissolved in the common solvent. In embodiments, solid particles (i.e., bioactive molecules) within an oral liquid dosage form may form a sediment at the bottom of the container over time, requiring vigorous shaking to redisperse the bioactive molecules. Non-limiting examples of monophasic liquid dosage forms include syrups, lycates, spirits / essences, elixirs, and fluid extracts. Non-limiting examples of biphasic liquid dosage forms include oral suspensions, oral emulsions, and mixtures.

[0344] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can be prepared as liquid suspensions or solutions using sterile liquids, such as, but not limited to, oils, water, alcohol, pharmaceutically suitable surfactants, suspending agents, and emulsifying agents. In embodiments, liquid formulations can also be prepared as single-dose or multi-dose beverages. In embodiments, suspensions can contain oils, including, but not limited to, peanut oil, sesame oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil, and olive oil. Suitable oils also include carrier oils, such as MCT and long-chain triglyceride (LCT) oils. In embodiments, suspension formulations can contain esters of fatty acids, such as ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, fatty acid glycerides, and acetylated fatty acid glycerides. In embodiments, suspension formulations can contain alcohols, such as ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and hexadecyl alcohol; glycerol, and propylene glycol.

[0350] In embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated as an inhalation formulation. Non-limiting examples of inhalation formulations include soft mist inhalation formulations, dry powder aerosol formulations, and vaporization formulations. In embodiments, the inhalation formulation is a soft mist inhalation formulation ("soft mist" formulation). Soft mist formulations can be produced by combining a liquid containing a biologically active molecule in a cartridge or syringe. The cartridge or syringe is then placed in a soft mist inhalation device, such as those described in International Publication No. 2020 / 167893 and U.S. Patent No. 9,108,011, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. One may also choose to include a solubilizer (e.g., polysorbate 80, also known as TWEEN®-80) to aid in homogenization of the formulation. In embodiments, the liquid containing the biologically active molecule may be a liquid extract obtained via the methods disclosed herein, with or without a solubilizer. In embodiments, the inhalation formulation may be a dry powder aerosol formulation, in which the bioactive molecule is provided as a powder and aerosolized by an inhaler device, such as a metered dose inhaler (MDI).

[0351] In embodiments, the inhalation formulation is a vaporizable formulation. The vaporizable formulation may be any of vape juice, e-liquid, e-juice, etc. In embodiments, the vaporizable formulation may be liquid (e.g., including oil) and / or solid (e.g., including wax or dry powder). In embodiments, the vaporizable formulation may be produced by mixing bioactive molecules in a suitable liquid ("base liquid"), and the resulting formulation can be vaporized by a heating element (such as those found in vape pens, e-cigarettes, e-pipes, and other such electronic smoking devices). Examples of suitable liquids include propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and mixtures thereof, in any proportion. In embodiments, the base liquid may include a low-viscosity liquid that acts as a diluent, such as water and / or ethanol (including when ethanol is a distilled spirit, e.g., vodka). In embodiments, the vaporizable formulation contains a flavoring, which may be any flavor or flavor concentrate.

[0352] In embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated as an effervescent powder.

[0353] In embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated into a pharmaceutically acceptable transdermal application that can be administered transdermally. Non-limiting examples of transdermal formulations include ointments, creams, suspensions, lotions, pastes, gels, sprays, foams, oils, and the like, and any combination thereof.

[0354] In embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for subcutaneous, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, intraosseous, intramuscular, intrathecal, or intracerebroventricular injection (an "injectable formulation"). In embodiments, the injectable formulation may be prepared by dissolving, suspending, or emulsifying the first bioactive molecule and / or the second bioactive molecule in an aqueous or non-aqueous solvent, non-limiting examples of which include oils such as vegetable oils, synthetic aliphatic acid glycerides, and esters of higher aliphatic acids or propylene glycol; and may also include additives such as solubilizers, stabilizers, and suspending agents, preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifiers, dispersing agents, and isotonic agents.

[0355] In some embodiments, compositions are formulated for particular tissues or for particular routes of administration other than oral gastrointestinal administration, e.g., mucosal (e.g., sublingual, buccal, rectal, vaginal, nasal), IV, intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC), dermal, intranasal, inhalation, etc. Such administration may, in some embodiments, result in fewer side effects, less toxicity, increased efficacy, improved selectivity, increased bioavailability, and minimized drug-drug interactions.

[0356] Injectable formulations may contain additives such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifiers, and dispersing agents. Prevention of microbial growth can be ensured by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, benzoic acid, benzyl alcohol, chlorobutanol, phenol, and sorbic acid, and isotonicity agents, such as sugars and sodium chloride, may also be included. Prolonged drug absorption from injectable dosage forms can be achieved by the use of absorption delaying agents, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin. Injectable formulations designed for sustained release via SC or IM injection can avoid first-pass metabolism and require lower doses of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules to maintain desired plasma levels. In such formulations, the particle size and particle size range of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules can be used to control the release of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules by controlling their dissolution rate in fat or muscle.

[0357] In embodiments, the composition is formulated into a pharmaceutically acceptable nanostructured formulation, such as a nanoemulsion, nanocapsule, nanoparticle conjugate, or nanoencapsulated oral, sublingual, buccal, or nasal spray. In embodiments, the nanostructured formulation is prepared with reference to the general knowledge in the art (see, for example, Jaiswal et al. 3 Biotech. 2015;5(2):123-127).

[0358] In some embodiments, when a therapeutic combination, pharmaceutical composition, or other formulation includes a natural or naturally occurring compound, at least one of the carriers, diluents, and / or excipients used in the combination, composition, or formulation is non-natural or of non-natural origin, or other agents, such as additional active agents, in the disclosed combinations, compositions, or formulations are non-natural or of non-natural origin, i.e., a natural compound is combined with a non-natural component, such that the combination, composition, or formulation includes at least one non-natural component and, in embodiments, provides a surprising synergistic effect.

In embodiments, the algal portion of the disclosed combination is administered via one route of administration, and the plant and fungal portions are administered via different routes of administration.

[0403] Administering different (fungal, plant, or algal) parts of the disclosed combinations to different tissues may maximize the therapeutic effect of the combination, reduce side effects, reduce patient discomfort, and / or increase bioavailability. In one illustrative example, the disclosed combinations consist of plant parts containing cannabinoids (e.g., THC) or cannabis extract, which are administered to the oral mucosa via a spray; while the remaining components (e.g., fungal, plant, and / or algal parts) are delivered to pulmonary epithelial cells via a soft-mist inhaler. In some embodiments, administration according to this illustrative procedure results in reduced pharyngeal irritation (e.g., in individuals sensitive to inhaled cannabis or cannabinoids), maximizes the bioavailability of the remaining components (e.g., fungal, plant, and / or algal parts), and improves the pharmacokinetic profile of the components of the therapeutic combination, for example, by promoting the uptake of longer-lasting plant parts (e.g., THC or cannabis extract) while mitigating the uptake of shorter-lasting parts.

[0404] In another example, the disclosed combination includes an algae portion containing Pyropia or Pyropia extract, which is administered to the oral mucosa via an oral spray, while the remaining components (e.g., fungal, plant, and / or algal portions) are delivered to the pulmonary epithelial cells via a soft mist inhaler. In some embodiments, administration according to this exemplary procedure results in reduced pharyngeal irritation, maximizes the bioavailability of the components (e.g., fungal, plant, and / or algal portions), and improves the pharmacokinetic profile of the therapeutic combination components; for example, by moderating the uptake of shorter-lasting algae portions (e.g., Pyropia or Pyropia extract) while promoting the uptake of longer-lasting portions.

[0405] B. Administration Method In some embodiments, methods for administering the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules disclosed herein are provided. As used herein, the terms "subject," "user," "patient," and "individual" are used interchangeably and refer to any mammal, preferably a human.

In general, it will be understood that all of the disclosed combinations, compositions, and methods will work for all individuals, although individual differences are to be expected.

[0406] Methods are provided for using a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure comprising a primary bioactive molecule and / or a secondary bioactive molecule disclosed herein in a mammal, preferably a human, including for treating an inflammatory condition or disorder, including in a healthy individual.

[0407] Administration of a pharmaceutical composition in an "effective amount," "therapeutically effective amount," "therapeutically effective dose," or "pharmacologically effective amount" refers to an amount of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecule sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect, e.g., relief to some extent of one or more symptoms of the disease or condition being treated. That result can be reduction and / or alleviation of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease or disorder, or other desired alteration of a biological system. A "therapeutically effective amount" includes, for example, a prophylactically effective amount.

[0408] An "effective amount" of a primary bioactive molecule and / or a secondary bioactive molecule disclosed herein is an amount effective to achieve a desired pharmacological effect or meaningful therapeutic improvement. It is understood that an "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" may vary from subject to subject due to variations in metabolism of compounds such as a primary bioactive molecule and / or a secondary bioactive molecule disclosed herein, variations in age, weight, and the general condition of the subject, the condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. An effective amount will vary depending on the subject and the disease state or health benefit being treated, the subject's weight and age, the severity of the disease state or the extent of the health benefit being sought, the method of administration, and the like, all of which can be readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. Additionally, pharmacogenomic information about a particular patient (e.g., the influence of genotype on the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, or efficacy profile of a therapeutic agent) may influence the dosage used.

[0409] As used herein, "therapeutic effect" or "therapeutic efficacy" refers to a response after treatment in a mammal, preferably a human, that is deemed to be a desirable and beneficial treatment. Thus, depending on the disorder being treated or the improvement in physiological or psychological function desired, and on the specific components in the disclosed compositions being considered, these responses will vary, as would be readily understood by one skilled in the art. For example, in embodiments, "therapeutic effect" may refer to the effect caused by the disclosed compositions or the use of the disclosed compositions in the disclosed methods, such as treating inflammatory conditions and disorders, as disclosed herein.

[0410] A "therapeutically effective dose" refers to the dose required to elicit a desired result in the patient receiving treatment. Thus, a therapeutically effective dose may, in embodiments, refer to the dose of a pharmaceutical composition or therapeutic combination required to deliver a measurable, patient-specific biological effect in the treatment or prevention of a condition or disorder. A "therapeutically effective dose" may be used interchangeably with a "therapeutically effective amount" or an "effective amount."

[0411] 1. Medication It will be readily understood that dosages may vary depending on whether the treatment is therapeutic or prophylactic, the onset, progression, severity, frequency, duration, probability or susceptibility of the condition being treated, the desired clinical endpoint, previous, concurrent or subsequent treatments, the general health, age, sex, and race of the subject, bioavailability, potential adverse systemic, regional or local side effects, the presence of other disorders or diseases in the subject, and other factors that will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art (e.g., medical history or family history).

[0433] In some embodiments, the disclosed therapeutic combinations (i.e., particularly the disclosed therapeutic combinations comprising a fungal-derived bioactive molecule and a plant-derived bioactive molecule) are administered in a total daily dose of between about 50 mg and 1 g. In embodiments, the total daily dose is between about 50 mg and 1 g, between 100 mg and 500 mg, and preferably between 100 mg and 400 mg. In embodiments, each individual dose of the disclosed therapeutic combination is between 5 mg and 500 mg, or between 10 mg and 400 mg, or between 10 mg and 100 mg.

[0434] In embodiments, for example, when the disclosed combinations are administered in a single composition, a single dose is about 10 mg to 1000 mg, about 10 mg to 200 mg, about 20 mg to 200 mg, about 10 mg to 100 mg, about 20 mg to 100 mg, about 20 mg to 80 mg, or about 30 mg to 60 mg.

[0436] In embodiments, the patient is administered a therapeutically effective dose of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules on a regular or chronic basis, where the patient receives the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules daily, several times per day (at least once, at least twice, at least three times, at least four times, or more than four times per day); on a set repeating schedule, where the patient receives a therapeutically effective amount of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules every day, every three, every four, every five, every six, every seven, or more frequently than every seven days; or, in some embodiments, on a varying schedule consisting of multiple days "on" (when a therapeutically effective dose of the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules is administered) and multiple days "off" (when no administration occurs), e.g., 1 day administered and 2 days off, 2 days administered and 3 days off, 3 days administered and 4 days off, etc., or other such schedules that would be apparent to one of skill in the art (see, e.g., what are known as microdosing protocols of Paul Stamets or James Fadiman).

[0437] It is understood that in some embodiments, the actual dose administered may be determined or adjusted by a physician in light of any patient-specific aspects that may affect the way the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules interact with the patient, such as the relevant circumstances, the method of delivery, the patient's age, the patient's weight, whether the patient has any comorbidities, other medications the patient is taking (routinely or currently), and metabolic variability, variability in patient response, and the like, all taken into account in conjunction with the teachings of the present disclosure, and therefore, any disclosed dosage ranges are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In some cases, dosage levels below the lower end of the disclosed ranges may be more than adequate, while in other embodiments, doses above the ranges may be employed without causing adverse side effects, although, for example, such larger doses may also be divided into several smaller doses for administration, either together or separately.

[0438] In some embodiments, the primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules may be administered and dosed in accordance with good medical practice, taking into account the method and schedule of administration, pre-existing and concomitant medications and supplements, the individual patient's clinical condition and the severity of the underlying disease, the patient's age, sex, weight, tolerance, and other such factors relevant to the healthcare professional, as well as knowledge of the specific compounds used, all of which are considered in conjunction with the teachings of the present disclosure. Dosages may vary from patient to patient, for individual patients over time, and for different combinations and formulations, but can be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. Determining the appropriate dosage includes not only determining the single dose, but also determining the route of administration, the number and timing of administrations, and the preferred time of day or time during a psychotherapy session for administration.

[0439] In embodiments, the patient may self-administer the dose, which may be on a dosing schedule as described above. In embodiments, the combination and / or disclosed compositions may be prescribed to the patient, who obtains a therapeutically effective dose from a pharmacy or healthcare provider.

[0440] The dosage, frequency, or duration of administration may be increased or decreased as indicated by the desired clinical results, the state of the disease or condition, the side effects of the treatment or therapy, or the concomitant medication. The concentration or concentration ratio of the components of the disclosed combinations and compositions may also be varied as indicated by the desired clinical results, the state of the disease or condition, the side effects of the treatment or therapy, or the concomitant medication. For example, in some embodiments, the disclosed combinations include tryptamine (e.g., psilocin and / or psilocybin, e.g., as a component of a fungal part, such as a fungal extract from a psilocin- and / or psilocybin-containing fungus). In some such embodiments, patients receiving monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medication may be administered a composition with a reduced concentration of tryptamine (e.g., psilocin and / or psilocybin), because MAOIs are expected to reduce the metabolic excretion of tryptamine, thereby affecting the ratio and synergistic effect of the bioactive molecules upon administration of the disclosed compositions. In another example, the proportions of components of the disclosed compositions may be increased or decreased depending on an individual's tolerance. For example, individuals who frequently consume cannabis products often develop tolerance to the effects of cannabinoids. In some embodiments, individuals with significant tolerance to cannabis or cannabinoids (e.g., THC) may be administered compositions with increased concentrations of THC to account for such tolerance. In yet another example, individuals with certain medical conditions may be particularly sensitive or resistant to the effects of the disclosed compositions. By way of example only, in some embodiments, an individual with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) may be administered a disclosed composition with a reduced concentration of cannabinoids (e.g., THC) or cannabis extract, for example, if there is a reasonable suspicion (e.g., at the discretion of a physician or other healthcare professional) that the cannabinoid or cannabis extract may worsen the cognitive or psychiatric symptoms of LBD and / or increase the patient's sensitivity to the composition or any of its components.In another merely illustrative example, an individual with clinical depression may be administered the disclosed compositions having increased concentrations of tryptamine (e.g., psilocin and / or psilocybin, e.g., as a component of a fungal portion such as a fungal extract from a psilocin- and / or psilocybin-containing fungus), which may provide clinical benefits such as promoting serotonin regulation, neuroplasticity, and connectivity.

[0441] One of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure will understand the factors that can affect the dosage, frequency, and timing necessary to provide a sufficient or effective amount to provide a therapeutic effect or benefit, and to do so depending on the type of therapeutic effect desired, as well as to avoid or minimize side effects.

[0442] In other embodiments, appropriate doses for achieving a therapeutic effect, including the upper and lower limits of any dose range, can be determined by individuals, including non-clinicians, by reference to available public information and knowledge and by reference to subjective considerations regarding desired outcomes and effects.

[0443] In embodiments, the biologically active molecules of the therapeutic combination may be administered to a patient as a single composition. In embodiments, the biologically active molecules of the therapeutic combination may be administered to a patient separately, sequentially, or simultaneously. In embodiments, the biologically active molecules in the therapeutic combination may be formulated individually as pharmaceutical compositions and then administered to a patient separately, sequentially, or simultaneously.

[0444] In embodiments, sequential administration refers to administration of one combination agent shortly after administration of another combination agent (e.g., within about 5 minutes of administration of the first combination agent), simultaneous administration refers to administration of each combination agent substantially simultaneously, and separate administration refers to administration with a time lapse between administrations. In embodiments in which the combination agents are administered separately, such administration can include an lapse of time between each administration of about 5 to about 30 minutes, about 10 to about 60 minutes, about 30 to about 180 minutes, about 180 to about 360 minutes, or more than 360 minutes, such as 8 hours, 12 hours, 16 hours, 20 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 ​​hours, 72 hours, 5 days, 7 days, 10 days, 14 days, 21 days, 30 days, and any such time period therebetween that would be readily apparent to one of skill in the art.

[0445] The time lapse between doses should not be confused with the frequency with which the doses are administered. As will be understood by one of skill in the art, the frequency of administration can depend on the disease and condition being treated and the administration of the first and / or second bioactive molecules disclosed herein. By way of non-limiting example, it may be desirable to administer the combination agent between about 1 and about 8 times per day, including once daily, twice daily, three times daily, four times daily, five times daily, six times daily, seven times daily, and eight times daily. In some embodiments, for example, one of the combination agents (i.e., one of the bioactive compounds in the combination) may be administered twice daily or three times daily, while another combination agent is administered once daily or twice daily, and any additional combination agents are administered according to other appropriate dosing schedules applicable thereto.

[0446] Additionally, dosing schedules include days 1-7, or 14, 21, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35, 42, 49, 60, 75, 90, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 475, 500, 525, 550, 575, 600, 625, 650, 675, and 700. , may continue in the same pattern or in an altered pattern for a particular period of time greater than 7 days, and the manner in which administration is completed (i.e., by separate, sequential, or simultaneous administration) may be adjusted as necessary so that the overall administration schedule may include only sequential, simultaneous, or separate administration, or may include a combination of two of sequential, simultaneous, or separate administration, or may include all of sequential, simultaneous, or separate administration. That is, in embodiments, the frequency of administration and the period of time that lapses between administrations will depend on the particular primary and / or secondary bioactive molecules utilized and the condition being treated.

[0447] In embodiments, depending on the desired therapeutic effect, administration may include separate, sequential, or simultaneous oral, sublingual, buccal, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, intramedullary, intramuscular, intrathecal, intracerebroventricular, rectal, vaginal, ocular, nasal, dermal, topical, otic, transdermal, or combinations thereof, as will be apparent to one of skill in the art. Furthermore, as noted above, in embodiments, a patient may receive the combination agent via multiple administrations, where each administration is not by the same means of administration. As disclosed herein, this may be advantageous in situations where the first and / or second bioactive molecules have varying durations of action and maximum plasma concentrations.

[0448] In embodiments, the disclosed first and / or second bioactive molecules are administered in a single composition. In embodiments, the disclosed first and / or second bioactive molecules are administered separately. In embodiments, the disclosed first and / or second bioactive molecules are administered sequentially. In embodiments, the disclosed first and / or second bioactive molecules are administered simultaneously. In embodiments, the timing of administration of the disclosed first and / or second bioactive molecules (including whether multiple administrations of the first and / or second bioactive molecules are required) depends on the particular first and / or second bioactive molecules administered to an individual and the indication being treated.

[0449] VI. Medical Kits In embodiments, particularly when the formulation is prepared in a single unit dosage form, the suggested dosage should be known by reference to the format of the formulation itself. In other embodiments, the suggested dosage can be known by reference to the administration means or by reference to the packaging and label, package insert, marketing materials, training materials, or other information and knowledge available to those skilled in the art or the general public. Accordingly, another aspect of the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical kit comprising a pharmaceutical composition or formulation of the present disclosure, recommended administration guidelines or prescribing information, and a suitable container. Individual unit dosage forms can be contained in a multi-dose kit or container. The pharmaceutical composition can also be packaged in single or multiple unit dosage forms for uniformity of dosage and ease of administration. Accordingly, another aspect of the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical kit comprising a pharmaceutical composition or formulation of the present disclosure, recommended administration guidelines or prescribing information, and a suitable container. Individual unit dosage forms can be contained in a multi-dose kit or container. The pharmaceutical composition can also be packaged in single or multiple unit dosage forms for uniformity of dosage and ease of administration.

[0450] In an exemplary pharmaceutical kit, the capsules, tablets, caplets, or other unit dosage forms are packaged in a blister pack. A "blister pack" refers to any of several types of preformed containers, particularly plastic packaging, containing individual single-dose containers (e.g., cavities or pockets), which are individually sealed and individually openable.

[0451] Blister packs include pharmaceutical packs known to those skilled in the art, such as Aclar® Rx160, Rx20e, SupRx, and UltRx 2000, 3000, 4000, and 6000 (Honeywell). Within the definition of multi-dose container, what are often referred to as blister packs, include blister trays, blister cards, strip packs, push-through packs, and the like. Preferably, information related to dosing and proper administration (if necessary) is printed directly on the multi-dose kit (e.g., on the blister pack or other internal packaging holding the disclosed combination or composition); however, the kits of the present disclosure can further include package inserts and other printed instructions (e.g., on the external packaging) for administering the disclosed combinations or compositions and for their proper therapeutic use.

[0452] In embodiments, patients have the option of using online software, such as websites, or downloadable software, such as mobile applications, to support compliance or provide data related to treatment. Such software can be used, for example, to track the last dose taken and the total dose taken, provide reminders and alerts for upcoming doses, provide feedback to prevent taking doses outside of a set schedule, allow recording of specific subjective effects, or provide a means for unstructured journaling. Such data collection can be used to support individual patient compliance, improve or adjust individual patient care plans, and can be anonymized, aggregated, and analyzed (including by AI or natural language processing means) to enable research into the effectiveness of various treatment methods.

[0453] VII. Treatment method In some aspects, methods of treating a subject having an inflammatory condition or disorder are provided. In some aspects, the disclosed methods of treatment comprise administering a therapeutic combination or pharmaceutical composition described herein.

[0454] "Treatment" covers any treatment of a disorder in a mammal, particularly a human, and in embodiments includes one or more of the following: (a) preventing the disorder from occurring in a subject who may be predisposed to the disorder but has not yet been diagnosed with it; (b) inhibiting the disorder, i.e., arresting its onset (e.g., including prevention); (c) alleviating the disorder, i.e., causing regression of the disorder or its clinical symptoms; (d) protecting against or alleviating symptoms or conditions caused by or associated with the disorder; (e) reducing, reducing, suppressing, ameliorating, or preventing the onset, severity, duration, progression, frequency, or probability of one or more symptoms or conditions associated with the disorder; and (f) preventing or suppressing the worsening or progression of symptoms or conditions associated with the disorder. For purposes of this disclosure, the therapeutic amount required to effectively treat will be understood to be the amount that provides objective evidence of improvement, for example, in a patient with clinically diagnosable symptoms. The effect may be preventative, in that it completely or partially prevents the disorder or its symptoms, and / or therapeutic, in that it partially or completely cures the disorder and / or adverse effects caused by the disorder.

[0455] The terms "inflammation," "inflammatory condition," and "inflammatory disorder" may be used interchangeably herein, such as when generally discussing methods, and unless the context suggests otherwise, although it is understood that the terms may have distinct meanings in certain contexts.

[0456] The term "pro-inflammatory" is used in some embodiments to describe factors that increase, up-regulate, or cause inflammation. The term "anti-inflammatory" is used in some embodiments to describe factors that down-regulate or reduce inflammation.

[0457] Inflammation is an immune response to tissue insults such as microbial infection, acute injury, oxidative stress, chemical irritants, or other such dysregulation of normal tissue function. Inflammatory responses are orchestrated by the innate immune system, which can sense molecular patterns of pathogens and tissue damage, initiate various inflammatory pathways that act to eliminate harmful stimuli, and restore damaged tissues to a homeostatic state. These responses are self-terminating, but termination can fail for multiple reasons, leading to a chronic stage of the inflammatory response (Ahmed. Front Biol. 2011:6(4):274-281).

[0458] Inflammation is often associated with or underlying various pathological conditions, including major cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric disorders (Nichols. Cardiovascular Psychiatry Neurol. 2009:475-108). In the brain, for example, microglia sense pathogens and cellular damage and initiate appropriate immune responses (Nayak et al. Annu Rev Immunol. 2014;32:367-402). Consequently, microglia induce neuroinflammation through phagocytosis and cytokine release, "calling for" the correct type of backup cellular response, orchestrated via the NF-κB inflammatory amplification and TNF pathways (Kettenmann et al. Physiol Rev. 2011;91(2):461-553). This microglial inflammatory response and its reduction by the bioactive molecules of the disclosed compositions is shown in FIG. 1, where 102 indicates an exemplary bioactive molecule from a first plant part (e.g., THC), 104 indicates an additional exemplary biomolecule from the first plant part (e.g., CBD), 106 indicates an exemplary biomolecule from a fungal part (e.g., psilocybin, psilocin), 108 indicates an exemplary biomolecule from a second plant part (e.g., coumarin), and 110 indicates an exemplary biomolecule from an algal part (e.g., taurine).

[0459] Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation refers to the inflammatory response initiated by the innate immune system in response to initial detection of harmful effects such as pathogen invasion, tissue damage, and other harmful conditions. The innate immune system encompasses a variety of cell types, proteins, receptors, and signaling pathways. Immune cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes, as well as non-immune cells, including epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts, host a set of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). PRRs recognize conserved structures in microorganisms, called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and endogenous molecules associated with cellular damage, called damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) (Tang e...
