Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

London Pharmaceuticals and Research Corporation

$73,880.00

Development of soluble cannabinoids for nutraceutical and medicinal use.

FY 2023-24 · 2023-06-01

Summary
The presented research program aims at developing water soluble derivatives of cannabinoids and their stable product formulations for health and medicinal applications. London Research and Pharmaceuticals Corporation (LRPC) developed a strategy to optimize the physicochemical and pharmacological properties of cannabinoids via providing new methods to convert cannabinoids (CBD) into fully soluble and stable products (Patent # US62/970,764) that are deliberately designed to impart specific properties that will be readily translated into nutraceuticals + pharmaceuticals and strengthen the health + wellness cannabis market where no fully soluble cannabinoids are known. The proposed project aims at scaling up the synthesis process and designing a validated manufacturing process of LRPC-soluble CBD. This is a major discovery with wide-reaching global implications including significant revenue potential across several multi-billion-dollar industries where LRPC would be first to market.

Description (French)
Le programme de recherche présenté vise à développer des dérivés hydrosolubles de cannabinoïdes et leurs formulations de produits stables pour des applications sanitaires et médicinales. London Research and Pharmaceuticals Corporation (LRPC) a mis au point une stratégie visant à optimiser les propriétés physicochimiques et pharmacologiques des cannabinoïdes en proposant de nouvelles méthodes pour convertir les cannabinoïdes (CBD) en produits stables et entièrement solubles (brevet # US62/970,764) qui sont délibérément conçus pour conférer des propriétés spécifiques qui seront facilement traduites en produits nutraceutiques et pharmaceutiques et renforceront le marché du cannabis pour la santé et le mieux-être où aucun cannabinoïde entièrement soluble n’est connu. Le projet proposé vise à étendre le processus de synthèse et à concevoir un processus de fabrication validé du CBD soluble dans le LRPC. Il s’agit d’une découverte majeure ayant des implications mondiales de grande envergure, y compris un potentiel de revenus important dans plusieurs industries de plusieurs milliards de dollars où la LRPC serait la première à être commercialisée.
