Description

Technical Field

[0001] Cross - Reference to Related Applications This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 655,170, filed Apr. 9, 2018, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Background Art

[0002] Although daily non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment is effective, it may not sufficiently relieve pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA), especially in patients with certain co - morbidities, who may have potential side effects that prevent the use of this NSAID treatment. In a systematic review of 35 dog models of OA and 29 clinical trials in dogs, NSAID treatment caused side effects in 35 of 64 studies (55%), with the most common being gastrointestinal symptoms. Although other drugs have been proposed, there is little evidence regarding their effectiveness in dogs with chronic pain or neuropathic pain associated with OA. When there is no optimal treatment for these dogs, other potentially effective drugs such as cannabinoids are often sought.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0055] The endogenous cannabinoid receptor system is known to play a role in pain regulation and inflammation reduction. Cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) are widely distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and are also present in the synovial membrane. However, due to the psychoactive effects of certain cannabinoids, extensive research has not been conducted on the use of cannabinoids as monotherapy for pain relief. Cannabinoids are a group of as many as 60 different compounds that may or may not act on CB receptors. Cannabidiol (CBD), one class of cannabinoids, can actually be an antagonist of CB receptors. In lower vertebrates, CBD may also have immunomodulatory, anti-algesic, anti-nociceptive, and anti-inflammatory effects, making it an attractive treatment option in dogs with osteoarthritis (OA).

[0056] This disclosure is directed toward compositions comprising hemp extracts and the use of these compositions for the treatment of pain in animals. Similarly, methods for the treatment of pain in veterinary subjects are provided herein. The efficacy of these compositions and treatment methods has not been demonstrated to date. Clinical trial and pharmacokinetic data relating to administration are also provided herein.

See also Powell et al. “Compendium of excipients for parenteral formulations” PDA (1998) J Pharm Sci Technol 52:238-311.

[0240] The dosage may vary depending on the age and weight of the recipient, the target disease, condition, route of administration, and similar factors. Various delivery systems are known and can be used to administer the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention (e.g., encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, microcapsules, receptor-mediated endocytosis) (see, for example, Wu et al. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262:4429-4432). Methods of delivery include, but are not limited to, intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, transdermal, buccal, sublingual, subcutaneous, nasal, epidural, and oral routes. The composition may be administered by any convenient route, for example, by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption via the epithelium or inner layers of the skin mucosa (e.g., oral mucosa, rectal and intestinal mucosa), and may be administered together with other bioactive agents. Administration may be systemic or topical.

[0241] Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use may be manufactured by using solid additives, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, adding appropriate auxiliary agents as needed, and then processing the granular mixture to obtain a tablet or sugar-coated tablet core. Suitable additives include, in particular, fillers such as sugars, e.g., lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; cellulose preparations, e.g., corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and / or physiologically acceptable polymers, e.g., polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Disintegrants such as cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or its salts (e.g., sodium alginate) may be added as needed.

[0242] The core of the sugar-coated tablet is appropriately coated. For this purpose, a concentrated sugar solution may optionally be used, which may contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinylpyrrolidone, Carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide, lacquer solution, and a suitable organic solvent or solvent mixture.

[0243] Injectable formulations may include dosage forms for intravenous injection, subcutaneous injection, intradermal injection, intramuscular injection, local injection, and intravenous infusion. These injectable formulations can be prepared by known methods. For example, they can be prepared by dissolving, suspending, or emulsifying the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form in a sterile aqueous or oily medium conventionally used for injection. Examples of aqueous media for injection include physiological saline, isotonic solutions containing glucose and other adjuvants, which can be used in combination with appropriate solubilizers such as alcohol (e.g., ethanol), polyhydric alcohols (e.g., propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol), and nonionic surfactants [e.g., polysorbate 80, HCO-50 (polyoxyethylene (50 mol) adduct of hydrogenated castor oil)]. Examples of oily media include sesame oil and soybean oil, which can be used in combination with solubilizers such as benzyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol. The injectable formulations thus prepared can be filled into appropriate ampoules.

[0244] Examples of pharmaceutical compositions that can be used orally include push-in capsules made of gelatin, and soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer (e.g., glycerol or sorbitol). Push-in capsules may contain an active ingredient in a mixture of a filler such as lactose, a binder such as starch, a lubricant such as talc or magnesium stearate, and an optional stabilizer. In soft capsules, the active ingredient can be dissolved or suspended in a suitable liquid such as fatty oil, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycol.

[0245] Alternatively, the composition may be in powder form for preparation before use with a suitable vehicle (e.g., sterile, pyrogen-free water). The exact formulation, route of administration, and dosage may be selected by a physician familiar with the patient's condition. (See, for example, Fingl, et al., 1975, “The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics,” Chapter I, page 1). Depending on the severity and responsiveness of the condition being treated, administration may also be a single dose of the sustained-release composition, and the course of treatment may last for several days to several weeks, or until a cure is achieved or a reduction in the condition is achieved.

[0246] Advantageously, the pharmaceutical compositions for oral or parenteral use described above are prepared into unit dose dosage forms suitable for the dose of the active ingredient. Examples of such unit dose dosage forms include tablets, pills, capsules, injections (ampoules), suppositories, chewable preparations, and pet food. In certain embodiments, with respect to the doses described above, this dose is administered in a single feeding of pet food, for example, with 1 mg / kg of hemp extract provided in a single feeding of pet food.

[0247] Pharmaceutical formulations may be administered to a patient using any acceptable device or mechanism according to the methods disclosed herein. For example, this administration may be achieved using a syringe and needle, or with a reusable pen and / or auto-injector delivery device. The methods of the present invention include the use of a number of reusable pens and / or auto-injector delivery devices for administering pharmaceutical formulations.

[0248] In some embodiments of non-human animal administration, the term "pharmaceuticals" may be replaced with "veterinary medicine" as used herein. [Examples]

[0249] Example 1: Approval of CBD oil and protocol The industrial hemp strain used in this study is a specialized strain utilizing ethanol and heat extraction. The final dried product was reconstituted in an olive oil base containing approximately 10 mg / ml of CBD as an equal mixture of CBD and CBD carboxylic acid (CBDa), 0.24 mg / ml of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), 0.27 mg / ml of cannabichromene (CBC), and 0.11 mg / ml of dehydrated cannabigerol (CBG), with all other cannabinoids present at less than 0.01 mg / ml. Analysis of five different production runs using a commercial analytical laboratory (MCR Laboratories, Framingham, MA) showed less than 9% variation between batches for each of the detected cannabinoids listed above. This study was conducted after approval by the Cornell University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) for this study in accordance with IACUC guidelines for animal use. Client-owned dogs were registered after informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.

[0250] Example 2: Terpene Profile Terpene profiles were determined using gas chromatography-FID (GC-FID) analysis with headspace flame ionization detection for four separate oil extractions. All oils contained 0.09–0.13% α-pinene, 0.23–0.44% β-myrcene, 0.04–0.09% β-pinene, 0.05–0.09% δ-limonene, 0.03–0.06% linalool, 0.04–0.07% β-caryophyllene, 0.02–0.04% α-humulene, 0.04–0.07% nerolidol-2, 0.02–0.04% guaiol, 0.04–0.08% caryophyllene oxide, and 0.01–0.04% α-bisabolol. In addition, some of the tested oils contained 0.02% camphene, 0.02–0.03% β-ocimene, 0.02–0.05% eucalyptol, 0.02% isopulegol, and / or 0.02–0.04% nerolidol-1. The total terpene content ranged from 0.73–1.10%.

[0251] Example 3: Pharmacokinetics Initial oral pharmacokinetic studies of a single dose were conducted in four beagles (3.5–7 years old, neutered males, 10.7–11.9 kg). Each dog was administered an oral dose of 2 mg / kg of CBD oil and an oral dose of 8 mg / kg of CBD oil, with a two-week washout period between each experiment. The dogs were fed two hours after administration. Physical examinations were performed at 0, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-administration. Posture, behavior, proprioception, and gait were subjectively assessed at each time point during free running / walking and navigation around standard traffic cones (weaving). 5 ml of blood was collected at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-oil administration. Blood samples were obtained by jugular vein puncture and transferred to a coagulation tube over 20 minutes. The samples were centrifuged at 3,600 × g for 10 minutes (VWR, Clinical Centrifuge) to remove serum, and stored at -80°C until analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) at the Colorado State University Core Mass Spectrometry facility.

[0252] Example 4: Extraction and mass spectrometry of CBD from dog serum CBD was extracted from canine serum using a combination of protein precipitation and liquid-liquid extraction with n-hexane, with some modifications for microflow ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Briefly, 0.05 ml of canine serum was subjected to protein precipitation in the presence of ice-cold acetonitrile (80% final concentration), with deuterated CBD added as an internal standard (0.06 mg / ml, CDB-d3 Cerealant, Round Rock, TX, USA). After adding 0.2 ml of water to each sample, 1.0 ml of hexane was added to enhance liquid-liquid phase separation. The hexane extract was removed, and the samples were concentrated to dryness under laboratory nitrogen. Before LC-MS analysis, the samples were resuspended in 0.06 mL of 100% acetonitrile. A standard curve using CBD analysis standards was prepared using canine serum extracted as described above, without exposure to CBD. Cannabidiol concentrations in serum were quantified using a chromatographically coupled triple-quadropole mass spectrometer (UHPLC-QQQ-MS).

[0253] Example 5: Analysis of CBD serum concentration data Peak areas for CBD detected in biological samples were extracted from UHPLC-QQQ-MS data and normalized to the peak area of ​​the internal standard CBD-d3 in each sample using Skyline and in-house R Script (www.r-project.org). CBD concentration to nanograms per mL of serum was calculated, determined by the regression line of the standard curve (r² = 0.9994, 0–1000 ng / mL). For this assay, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) represent the lower limits of detection and quantification for each compound in the matrix of this study. Pharmacokinetic variables were estimated by non-compartmental analysis using the pharmacokinetic software package (PK Solution, version 2.0, Montrose, CO, USA).

[0254] Example 6: Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria for Clinical Trials The study population consisted of client-owned dogs that visited Cornell University Hospital for Animals for evaluation and treatment of lameness due to osteoarthritis (OA). Dogs were considered for inclusion in this study if they had radiographic evidence of OA, signs of pain as assessed by their owners, lameness detectable by visual gait assessment, and joint pain on palpation. Each dog underwent an initial complete blood count ([CBC] Bayer Advia 120, Siemens Corp., New York, NY, USA) and serological analysis (Hitachi 911, Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA) to rule out any underlying conditions that might preclude enrollment. Elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were tolerated if they were judged to be within the normal limits based on prior hepatic ultrasound examination, excluding potential non-progressive nodules (possible nodular hyperplasia of the liver).

[0255] All owners completed a short questionnaire to define the affected limb, the duration of lameness, and the duration of administration of analgesics or other medications.

[0256] All dogs underwent X-ray examinations of the affected joints, and radiologists checked for the presence of osteoarthritis (OA) and ruled out the presence of complications that could interfere with registration (i.e., soluble lesions).

[0257] During this study, dogs were permitted to receive NSAIDs, fish oil, and / or glucosamine / chondroitin sulfate as standard treatment for the course of the disease, either four weeks prior to or during the 10-week study period, without any changes to these medications. Any other analgesics being used (e.g., gabapentin and tramadol) were discontinued at least two weeks prior to enrollment. Dogs with evidence of renal disease, uncontrolled endocrine disorders, neurological disorders, or neoplastic diseases, or those with a temperament unsuitable for walking on a leash or receiving physiotherapy, were excluded. All dogs were fed their normal diet without any changes permitted during this study.

[0258] Example 7: Clinical Trial This study was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover clinical trial. Dogs were administered either of the following two treatments in a random order (using the Randomizer iPhone® Application): CBD (2 mg / kg every 12 hours) or a placebo every 12 hours (equal amounts of olive oil containing 10 / 1000 parts anise oil and 5 / 1000 parts peppermint oil to provide a similar herbal aroma). Each treatment was administered for 4 weeks, with a 2-week washout period between treatments. For each treatment, blood samples were collected at weeks 2 and 4 for repeated complete hematological counts and chemical analyses.

[0259] At each visit, each dog was evaluated by a veterinarian based on a scoring system, and also evaluated by the dog's owner before the start of treatment and at 2 and 4 weeks after the start of treatment (Canine Brief Pain Inventory [CBPI], Hudson Activity Scale).

[0260] Example 8: Statistical Analysis An initial power analysis was performed using prior data suggesting a baseline CBPI with a standard deviation of 20 or a Hudson score change of approximately 15 points (two-sided), and the number of dogs needed for this study was assessed as a crossover design with alphas of 0.80 and 0.05. It was calculated and assumed that 14 dogs would be needed to find significance.

[0261] Statistical analysis was performed using a commercially available software package (JMP 12.0, Cary, NC, USA). All data were evaluated for normality using the Shapiro-Wilks test. Given that the majority of the inventors' blood, serum, and scoring data were normally distributed, a mixed model analysis of variances was used. The crossover study variables included in this model were: treatment, time, oil order, sex, age, NSAID use, fixed effect of treatment time x; and random effects of observation period, nested period within dogs, and nested time point within the nested period within dogs. To control for differences and relative changes in CBPI pain and activity impairment assessments and Hudson scoring among dogs, a fixed effect of the initial CPBI or Hudson score was also included in this analysis. Dunnett's test was performed retrospectively on any significant effect of treatment at time x to evaluate the difference from week 0 of CBD oil or placebo oil as a baseline time point for comparison. For all analyses, p-values ​​less than 0.05 were determined to be significant.

[0262] Example 9: Pharmacokinetic results Pharmacokinetics showed that the median half-life of CBD elimination was 4.2 hours (3.8–6.8 hours) at a dose of 2 mg / kg and 4.2 hours (3.8–4.8 hours) at a dose of 8 mg / kg (Table 1). The median maximum concentration of CBD oil (Figure 2) was 102.3 mg / ml (60.7–132.0 ng / mL; 180 nM) and 590.8 ng / mL (389.5–904.5 ng / mL; 1.2 μM) for doses of 2 and 8 mg / kg, reached after 1.5 hours and 2 hours, respectively. No significant psychoactive effects were observed at any point in time between the 2 and 8 mg / kg doses over a 24-hour period. These results led to the practical administration of 2 mg / kg body weight every 12 hours during clinical trials.

[0263] [Table 1]

[0264] Example 10: Dogs included in the clinical trial Twenty-two client-owned dogs with clinically and radiographically confirmed evidence of osteoarthritis were included. Sixteen of these dogs completed the study and were included in the analysis. Their breed, weight, age, sex, weaker limb, radiographic findings, NSAID use, and treatment sequence are summarized in Table 2. Dogs were removed due to osteosarcoma at enrollment, gastric torsion (placebo), history of aggression issues (CBD oil), pyelonephritis / renal failure (CBD oil), recurrent pododermatitis (placebo oil), and diarrhea (placebo oil).

[0265] [Table 2]

[0266] Example 11: Results of the clinical trial CBPI and Hudson scores (Figures 3A and 3B) showed a significant reduction in pain and an increase in activity at weeks 2 and 4 during CBD treatment compared to baseline week 0 (p<0.01), while placebo treatment showed no difference in CBPI and Hudson scores from pre-treatment scores (Table 3). Lameness as assessed by veterinarians (Figure 4) showed an increase in lameness with age (p<0.01), but lameness was significantly less with NSAID use (p=0.03). Veterinary pain scores showed that pain was significantly lower in dogs with NSAIDs (p<0.01). CBD oil resulted in significantly lower pain compared to baseline at both week 2 and week 4 assessments (p<0.03), while placebo treatment showed no significant difference. When evaluated using a veterinary lameness and pain scoring system, no changes in weight-bearing capacity were observed (Table 3).

[0267] [Table 3]

[0268] Chemical analysis and CBC were performed at each visit. No significant changes were observed in measured CBC values ​​in dogs treated with CBD oil or placebo (data not shown). Serum chemistry levels were similar between CBD oil and the comparison placebo, with the exception of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), which increased significantly over time from baseline by week 4 of CBD oil treatment (p=0.005) (Table 4). Nine out of 16 dogs showed increases over time (Figure 1). All values ​​remained within the normal range, but glucose increased in dogs administered placebo oil at each time point (p=0.04), and creatinine levels increased over time in both dogs administered CBD oil and placebo oil (p<0.01). Other significant differences in serum chemistry levels were mainly associated with age or NSAID use. Increased age was associated with significantly higher blood urea nitrogen (BUN; p<0.001), calcium (p=0.014), phosphorus (p=0.001), alanine aminotransferase (ALT; p=0.028), ALP (p=0.012), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT; p=0.018), globulin (p=0.021), and cholesterol (p=0.002). NSAID use was associated with significantly higher BUN (p=0.003) and creatinine (p=0.017), as well as significant increases in total protein (p<0.001) and serum globulin (p<0.001).

[0269] [Table 4]

[0270] Example 12: Safety study in dogs A 12-week safety study was conducted in dogs to evaluate the safety of a soft chewing agent containing CBD.

[0271] Animal and research design As shown in Table 5, eight purebred Beagle dogs, aged 11 months to 5 years and weighing between 7.39 and 11.95 kg at the start of the study, were selected for this research.

[0272] [Table 5]

[0273] Dogs were housed individually in cages of a size compliant with the Animal Welfare Act, under target conditions of 50°–85°F and a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark cycle. Cages and food bowls were cleaned and disinfected daily in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act. Fresh tap water suitable for human consumption was freely available via an automated watering system. No known contaminants that could reasonably be expected to be present in the feed materials were found to be potentially hindering the purpose or conduct of this study.

[0274] During this study, the only source of food supplied to each animal once daily for approximately one hour was the control diet Purina Dog Chow. Dogs were fed according to their ideal physical condition and fasted for at least 12 hours prior to blood collection. CBD was administered twice daily at a dose of approximately 2 mg / kg using a soft chewing agent. The administration is shown in Table 6.

[0275] [Table 6]

[0276] CBC and Serum Chemistry Before the start of the study, 5 ml of blood was collected from each dog and used to determine its eligibility for the study. During the study, 5 ml of blood was collected weekly (±2 days). Blood was collected by jugular vein puncture using a sterile syringe. The samples were divided into two tubes: a serum separator tube with a red stopper and an EDTA tube with a lavender stopper. The tube with the red stopper was centrifuged in a refrigerated centrifuge at 3000 RPM for 15 minutes after coagulation. The tube with the lavender stopper was placed on a locker to allow the blood and anticoagulant to mix thoroughly. The blood samples were packaged and sent to Antech Diagnostics for analysis on a priority overnight basis.

[0277] Pharmacokinetic (PK) blood sampling On the first day of administration, blood samples were collected from 6 of the 8 dogs for PK analysis. The most cooperative dog was selected for PK analysis. Approximately 6 ml of blood was collected by jugular vein puncture with a sterile syringe at 0, 30, 60, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-procedure. The samples were placed in coagulation tubes with red stoppers that did not have serum separators. Serum was recovered by centrifugation at 3000 RPM for 15 minutes. The recovered serum was placed in cryovials and stored at -70°C. Each tube was labeled with dog ID, collection date, and collection time. The samples were transported overnight on dry ice to the Proteomics & Metabolomics Facility at Colorado State University.

[0278] Clinical observation Veterinarians performed a complete physical examination of all dogs before and at the end of this study. Each dog was evaluated for overall health, physical condition, and coat condition. Qualified personnel performed clinical observations twice daily in accordance with Summit Ridge Farms' Program of Veterinary Care and SOP VC-003 (Rounds Observations). All animals were evaluated twice daily with reference to SOP VC-016 (Recognizing Pain, Stress, and / or Distress). Clinical laboratory diagnostic procedures were performed as needed. Veterinary care was provided appropriately to each individual animal in accordance with the Program of Veterinary Care.

[0279] blood analysis Blood was analyzed for white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCHC, MCH, and platelet count, along with complete differentiation. In addition, a 22-test chemistry screen was performed, consisting of glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST, CPK, cholesterol, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, chloride, A / G ratio, BUN / creatinine ratio, globulin, triglycerides, GGTP, and magnesium. Measurements were performed before the start of this study and then weekly throughout the course of the study.

[0280] PK analysis The blood levels and pharmacokinetics of the test substance were analyzed as described in Gamble et al. (2018) Front Vet Sci. 165:1-9.

[0281] result body weight The average weight change in dogs during the 12-week period of this study was -0.04 kg (-0.43%). Weight data are shown in Tables 7 and 8.

[0282] [Table 7]

[0283] [Table 8]

[0284] Feeding amount The average daily food intake per week for dogs during this study was 204 g. Food intake data is shown in Tables 9 and 10.

[0285] [Table 9]

[0286] [Table 10]

[0287] Test substance consumption Five out of eight dogs accepted the chewing agent 100% of the time. During this study, the following three dogs had to be administered the agent occasionally: Dog ID #13644 (administered with a 6.5% probability), Dog ID #13513 (administered with a 2.4% probability), and Dog ID #2784123 (administered with a 17.3% probability).

[0288] Hematology and Serum Chemistry From week 1 onward, the mean alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in the group increased slightly. This value remained stable until week 7, when the mean ALP levels in the group gradually increased. The highest mean group level was observed during the final week of this study, but did not exceed the normal reference range shown in Table 11. The increase in the mean group level was thought to be due to three dogs (13536, 2753822, and 2808987). By the end of this study, 13536 and 2753822 had levels above 100 U / L, but not above the high-normal value of 131 U / L. Therefore, these levels remained within the normal reference range. The elevation observed in only a few animals in the group may indicate individual sensitivity to this product. All other blood parameters remained within the normal limits, and no clear trends were observed. The hematological and serological results are shown in Tables 12-19.

[0289] [Table 11]

[0295] [Table 17]

[0296] [Table 18]

[0297] [Table 19]

[0298] Clinical observation During this study, occasional instances of loose stools and vomiting were recorded. Dog ID # 13536 was observed to have 5 cases of vomiting of food or bile and 6 cases of loose stools. Dog ID # 13513 was observed to have 2 cases of loose stools. Dog ID # 27583822 was observed to have 2 cases of vomiting of food and 8 cases of loose stools. Dog ID # 13644 was observed to have 12 cases of loose stools. Dog ID # 13490 was observed to have 2 cases of loose stools. Dog ID # 2808987 was observed to have 4 cases of loose stools. Dog ID # 2963028 was observed to have 6 cases of loose stools. Dog ID # 2784123 was observed to have 6 cases of loose stools. Occasional episodes of loose stools and bile vomiting were not uncommon in the canine colony and were not considered to be related to the test substance. Clinical observations are listed in Table 20.

[0299] [Table 20]

[0300] conclusion There were no adverse effects on body weight or food intake. Group mean alkaline phosphatase levels showed a slight increase during the study without exceeding the normal reference range. Remaining hematological and serological results remained within the normal limits throughout the study, and no significant trends were observed over the long term. No clinical observations considered to be related to the administration of the test substance were observed in any of the dogs during the course of this study. The overall tolerability of this treatment was 96.7%, with 5 out of 8 dogs consuming the treatment with 100% probability over the duration of this study.

[0301] Example 13: Pilot study in dogs A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of ElleVet Mobility Oil in the treatment of osteoarthritis in dogs.

[0302] method As shown in Tables 21 and 22, five dogs suffering from end-stage osteoarthritis, arthralgia, and senile pain were selected for this study.

[0303] Following the manufacturer's instructions, dogs were administered a loading dose of 2 mg / kg every 12 hours for the first two weeks, then reduced to 1 mg / kg every 12 hours for two weeks. The dogs were then returned to a dose of 2 mg / kg every 12 hours for the final four weeks of this study.

[0304] On days 0, 14, 30, and 60, dogs were evaluated by flexion and extension measurements, muscle tissue measurements, a simplified canine pain questionnaire, and gait analysis using a pressure-sensing passage.

[0305] [Table 21]

[0306] [Table 22]

[0307] result Three out of five owners (60%) reported significant improvements in pain severity scores and pain interference scores. Gait analysis, as shown in Tables 23-24 and Figures 5A-5F, revealed that total pressure index (TPI%), stride-to-step ratio, and stance phase ratio did not significantly improve or decrease throughout the study. Flexion improved in three out of five dogs and decreased by more than 5 degrees in two of them. Extension improved in two out of five dogs and decreased in one of them. After completion of the study, three out of four owners who responded to the questionnaire indicated they would like to continue using this supplement. Improvements observed by owners included improvements in function and comfort (lying down, standing, resting, walking, energy, playing, and overall health).

[0320] Example 14: Safety study of cats A 12-week safety study was conducted in cats to evaluate the safety of oil containing CBD.

[0321] Animal and research design As shown in Table 35, eight cats aged 2 to 6 years with a weight of 3.33 to 5.17 kg at the start of the study were selected for this research.

[0322] [Table 35]

[0323] Cats were housed individually in cages of a size compliant with the Animal Welfare Act, under target conditions of 50°–85°F and a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark cycle. Cages, food bowls, water bowls, and litter boxes were cleaned and disinfected daily in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act. Fresh tap water suitable for human consumption was freely available in stainless steel bowls. No known contaminants, reasonably expected to be present in the feed materials, were found to be potentially hindering the purpose or conduct of this study.

[0324] During this study, the sole source of food supplied to each animal once daily for approximately 4 hours was the control diet Purina Cat Chow. Cats were fed according to their ideal physical condition and fasted for at least 12 hours prior to blood collection. CBD oil was administered orally twice daily using a 1 ml syringe at a dose of 2 mg / kg. The total dose per 24 hours was 4 mg / kg. The administration is shown in Tables 36 and 37.

[0325] [Table 36]

[0326] [Table 37]

[0327] CBC and Serum Chemistry Before the start of the study, 5 ml of blood was collected from each cat and used to determine its eligibility for the study. During the study, 5 ml of blood was collected weekly (±2 days). Blood was collected by jugular vein puncture using a sterile syringe. The samples were divided into two tubes: a serum separator tube with a red stopper and an EDTA tube with a lavender stopper. The tube with the red stopper was centrifuged in a refrigerated centrifuge at 3000 RPM for 15 minutes after coagulation. The tube with the lavender stopper was placed on a locker to allow the blood and anticoagulant to mix thoroughly. The blood samples were packaged and sent to Antech Diagnostics for analysis on a priority overnight basis.

[0328] Pharmacokinetic (PK) blood sampling On the first day of administration, blood samples were collected from 6 of the 8 cats for PK analysis. The most cooperative cat was selected for PK analysis. Approximately 4 ml of blood was collected by jugular vein puncture with a sterile syringe one day before the procedure (time 0), and then at 1, 4, 8, and 24 hours after the procedure. The samples were placed in coagulation tubes with red stoppers that did not have serum separators. Serum was recovered by centrifugation at 3000 RPM for 15 minutes. The recovered serum was placed in cryovials and stored at -70°C. Each tube was labeled with the cat ID, collection date, and collection time. The samples were transported overnight on dry ice to the Proteomics & Metabolomics Facility at Colorado State University.

[0329] Clinical observation Veterinarians performed a complete physical examination of all cats before and after the start of this study. Each cat was evaluated for overall health, physical condition, and coat condition. Qualified personnel performed clinical observations twice daily in accordance with Summit Ridge Farms' Program of Veterinary Care and SOP VC-003 (Rounds Observations). All animals were evaluated twice daily with reference to SOP VC-016 (Recognizing Pain, Stress, and / or Distress). Clinical laboratory diagnostic procedures were performed as needed. Veterinary care was provided appropriately to each individual animal in accordance with the Program of Veterinary Care.

[0330] blood analysis Blood was analyzed for white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCHC, MCH, and platelet count, along with complete differentiation. In addition, a 22-test chemistry screen was performed, consisting of glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST, CPK, cholesterol, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, chloride, A / G ratio, BUN / creatinine ratio, globulin, triglycerides, GGTP, and magnesium. Measurements were performed before the start of this study and then weekly throughout the course of the study.

[0331] PK analysis Extraction of cannabidiol from cat serum for LC-MS. Aliquots of cat serum were delivered to the facility on dry ice and stored at -80°C upon receipt. For cannabidiol (CBD) extraction, the serum was thawed on ice, and 50 μL of each sample was placed in a 2.0 ml glass extraction vial (VWR ROBO Unassembled Autosampler Vial) and kept cool on ice. 200 μL of cold (-20°C) 100% acetonitrile (with 60 ng / mL of d3-CBD added) was added to each sample and vortexed at room temperature for 5 minutes. 200 μL of water was added and vortexed for another 5 minutes. Then, 1 ml of 100% hexane was added to each sample and vortexed for the last 5 minutes. Phase separation was enhanced by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4°C. The upper hexane layer was transferred to newly labeled glass vials (approximately 900 μL per sample), carefully avoiding the intermediate and lower layers. The sample was concentrated to dryness under N2 and resuspended in 60 μL of 100% acetonitrile (Zgair et al. (2015) J Pharm Biomed Anal. 114:145-51).

[0332] standard curve Using blank serum, an 8-point standard curve for CBD was constructed against a matrix background. The concentrations ranged from 0 ng / mL to 1000 ng / mL (3.2-fold dilution series). 50 μL of each added serum sample was extracted as described above.

[0333] LC-MS / MS analysis LC-MS / MS was performed using a Waters Acquity M-Class UPLC connected to a Waters Xevo TQ-S triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Chromatographic separation was performed using a Waters BEH C18 iKey Separation Device (150 μm × 50 mm, 1.7 μM). The mobile phases were 99.9% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid (B), and water containing 0.1% formic acid (A). The analytical gradients were as follows: time = 0 min, 70% B; time = 1.0 min, 70% B; time = 6 min, 100% B; time = 7.0 min, 100% B; time = 7.5 min, 70% B. The total run time was 10 minutes. The flow rate was 3.0 μL / min, and the injection volume was 2.0 μL. The samples were held in an autosampler at 6°C, and the column was operated at 70°C. The MS was operated in Selective Reaction Monitoring (SRM) mode. The parent ion was selected by the first quadrupole and fragmented in the collision cell, and then the fragment ion was selected by the third quadrupole. The product ion, collision energy, and cone voltage were optimized for each analyte by direct injection of individual synthetic standards. The inter-channel delay was set to 3 ms. The MS was operated in cationization mode with the capillary voltage set to 3.6 kV. The source temperature was 120°C, and the desolvation temperature was 992°C. The desolvation gas flow rate was 1 L / hour, the cone gas flow rate was 150 L / hour, and the collision gas flow rate was 0.2 mL / min. The nebulizer pressure (nitrogen) was set to 7 Bar. Argon was used as the collision gas.

[0334] Data analysis and statistics All raw data files were imported into the Skyline open-source software package (MacLean et al. (2010) Bioinformatics. 26(7):966-8). Each target analyte was visually inspected for retention time and peak area integration. Peak areas for the target compounds detected in the biological samples were extracted and normalized to the peak areas of appropriate internal standards in each sample using an in-house R script (TQS-tool). CBD concentration was calculated in nanograms per milliliter of extract (0.06 mL) and then converted back to nanograms per milliliter of serum (0.05 mL).

[0335] Calculating variance using QC pool All serum samples (cat and dog) were pooled in 50 μL portions into a single Quality Control sample, and 50 μL was extracted as described above. This QC pool was injected every 10 samples, and the technical variance over the data acquisition process was measured using CBD concentration.

[0336] Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ) LOD and LOQ represent the detection limit and quantification limit of each compound in the matrix of this study. LOD is given by the formula: LOD = 3 * The standard deviation (Sy) of the response to the zero-point calibration criterion (i.e., CBD of 0 ng / mL as an estimate of noise) and the slope (S) of the calibration curve at a level approximating the LOD are calculated according to (Sy / S). LOQ = 10 * (Sy / S). Sy in y is the standard deviation used to calculate LOD and LOQ (Shrivastava (2011) Chronicles of Young Scientists. 2:21-5; Broccardo et al. (2013) Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. 934:16-21).

[0372] Hematology and Serum Chemistry From week 2 onward, the mean alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in the group increased. This level remained elevated from baseline until the end of the study. Throughout the study, mild elevations in individual ALT levels were observed in the majority of cats. Cat 13CNL3 had the highest ALT (above the normal reference range of 100 U / L) and simultaneously high aspartate aminotransferase (AST). From week 4 onward, this cat's ALT and AST levels began to decrease but remained elevated from baseline. The ALT level remained above the normal reference range shown in Table 70 throughout the duration of the study. Similarly, during week 2, the ALT levels of cats 13IRD3 and 13CPJ7 increased by 23–31 U / L from baseline, respectively. The ALT level of cat 13CPJ7 returned to baseline by week 10. At week 4, the ALT of cat 13CCL1 increased by 32 U / L from baseline. Levels returned to baseline by week 10. The test substance appeared to cause mild ALT changes in most cats, and one cat remained elevated above the normal limit throughout the study. Group mean values ​​for all other blood parameters remained within the normal limits, and no clear trends were observed. Hematological and serological results are shown in Tables 71-74.
