Improved delivery of tetrahydrocannabinol

A self-emulsifying drug delivery system to improve dissolution, stability, and bioavailability of drug compounds of dronabinol or other cannabinoids. The drug compound(s) are dissolved in an oily medium (e.g. triglycerides and/or mixed glycerides and/or free fatty acids containing medium and/or long...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A self-emulsifying drug delivery system to improve dissolution, stability, and bioavailability of drug compounds of dronabinol or other cannabinoids. The drug compound(s) are dissolved in an oily medium (e.g. triglycerides and/or mixed glycerides and/or free fatty acids containing medium and/or long chain saturated, mono-unsaturated, and/or poly-unsaturated free fatty acids) together with at least one surfactant. The surfactant promotes self-emulsification, thereby promoting targeted chylomicron delivery and optimal bioavailability to a mammalian intestinal lumen. A dosage form can optionally include co-solvents, anti-oxidants, viscosity modifying agents, cytochrome P450 metabolic inhibitors, P-GP efflux inhibitors, and amphiphilic/non-amphiphilic solutes to induce semi-solid formation for targeted release rates.
