Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims priority on the basis of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 62/126,365, filed Feb. 27, 2015, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to the cannabis industry. In particular, the disclosure relates to compositions and formulations comprising purified cannabinoids, flavonoids, and/or terpenes.

BACKGROUND

Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants that have three different species: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. Cannabis has long been used for hemp fiber, for seed and seed oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug.
Cannabis is composed of at least 483 known chemical compounds, which include cannabinoids, terpenoids, flavonoids, nitrogenous compounds, amino acids, proteins, glycoproteins, enzymes, sugars and related compounds, hydrocarbons, simple alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, simple acids, fatty acids, simple esters, lactones, steroids, terpenes, non-cannabinoid phenols, vitamins, pigments, and elements. These compounds are secreted on the glandular trichomes. Cannabinoids are unique to the cannabis plant and there have been 100 cannabinoids that have been isolated as purified (single) molecules.
Most extraction processes aim to extract cannabinoids, particularly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC has many effects including pain relief, treating glaucoma, relieving nausea and vomiting during cancer treatments. The latter is sold as the drug dronabinol. The brand name in the US is Marinol. It is the pure isomer of THC, (−)-trans-Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol which is man-made.
Preparative gas chromatography has proven to be a suitable method for providing adequate pure samples of THC, Cannabidiol (CBD), and Cannabinol (CBN). There has been difficulty in isolating pure cannabinoids in order to conduct research. Cannabinoids can have synergistic or antagonistic effects on each other. Other methods of extraction include butane hash oil (BHO) and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. Cannabinoids are drawn out of the plant through solvent (e.g., butane or carbon dioxide) extraction, which produces a purified composition.
The resin glands, more commonly referred to as kief, contain a high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes. The extraction process for kief involves placing the whole plant in a fine mesh screen shifter and gently shaking so that the kief falls through the screen away from the plant. The kief is sometimes compressed into rounds known as hash or hashish.
Despite developments in isolating single molecules, no work has been done in formulating compositions having particular combinations of the purified compounds. There has been no work developing compounds having repeatable, dependable ratios of purified molecules. In particular, there have been no developments in combining purified cannabinoids with purified terrenes, flavonoids, and/or minerals.
There exists a need for compositions comprising new combinations of purified cannabinoids. There also exists a particular need for compositions providing one or more purified cannabinoids in combination with a purified terpene. Furthermore, there exists a need for compositions providing one or more purified cannabinoids in combination with a purified flavonoid. Additionally, there exists a need for compositions providing one or more purified cannabinoids in combination with a purified mineral.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Disclosed herein are new compositions having combinations of purified cannabinoids. One embodiment of this disclosure provides compositions having one or more purified cannabinoids in combination with a purified terpene. One embodiment of this disclosure provides compositions having one or more purified cannabinoids in combination with a purified flavonoid. One embodiment of this disclosure provides compositions having one or more purified cannabinoids in combination with a purified mineral.
Disclosed herein are compositions comprising:

- a first purified cannabinoid; and
- a compound chosen from a second purified cannabinoid, a purified terpene, a purified flavonoid, and a purified mineral,
- wherein the said composition is substantially free from cellulose.

As used herein, the term “purified” means isolated from the plant using chromatography, distillation, extractions, or similar technique resulting in a greater than 60% purity. In some embodiments the “purified” compositions disclosed herein are greater than 70% purity. In some embodiments the “purified” compositions disclosed herein are greater than 80% purity. In some embodiments the “purified” compositions disclosed herein are greater than 90% purity.
Within the context of this disclosure, where a compound comprises stereogenic centers, the term “purified” includes enantiomerically pure compositions and also mixtures of enantiomers or isomers.
Cannabinoids and other plant molecules may be extracted using various solvents and technologies including, but not limited to ethanol, butane, methane, carbon dioxide, ice, water, steam. Cannabinoids and other plant molecules may be extracted from plants bred to express desired cannabinoid and/or terpene and/or flavonoid profiles for purity. Cannabinoids and other molecules may be purified using supercritical fluid (“SFC”) extraction and similar technologies. In one example, the process of crystallization involves placing the compound of interest in a liquid and then cooling or adding participants to the solution which would lower the solubility of the compound of interest so that it forms crystals. In this example, crystals are then separated from the liquid through filtration or centrifuge.
As used herein, the term “cannabinoid” means any substance that acts upon a cannabinoid receptor. For example the term cannabinoid includes cannabinoid ligands such as agonists, partial agonists, inverse agonists, or antagonists, as demonstrated by binding studies and functional assays. In many examples, a cannabinoid can be identified because its chemical name will include the text string “*cannabi* in the name. Within the context of this application, where reference is made to a particular cannabinoid, each of the acid and/or decarboxylated forms are contemplated as both single molecules and mixtures. Examples of cannabinoids within the context of this disclosure include compounds belonging to any of the following classes of molecules, their derivatives, salts, or analogs: Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), Cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabichromanon (CBCN), Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabielsoin (CBE), Cannabidivarin (CBDV), Cannbifuran (CBF), Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabicyclol (CBL), Cannabinol (CBN), Cannabinodiol (CBND), Cannabitriol (CBT), Cannabivarin (CBV), and Isocanabinoids.
As used herein, the term “terpene” means an organic compound built on an isoprenoid structural scaffold or produced by combining isoprene units. Often, terpene molecules found in plants may produce smell.
The structure of terpenes are built with isoprenes, which are 5 carbon structures. Flavonoids are generally considered to be 15 carbon structures with two phenyl rings and a heterocyclic ring. So, there could be an overlap in which a flavonoid could be considered a terpene. However, not all terpenes could be considered flavonoids.
Within the context of this disclosure, the term terpene includes Hemiterpenes, Monoterpenols, Terpene esters, Diterpenes, Monoterpenes, Polyterpenes, Tetraterpenes, Terpenoid oxides, Sesterterpenes, Sesquiterpenes, Norisoprenoids, or their derivatives.

Limonene is often found in high amounts in cannabis resin as well as tropical fruit rinds and many other fruits and flowers. The exact odor is determined by the structure of the terpene. Plants use limonene to repulse predators. For instance, flies have a group of receptors similar in function to the taste buds on our tongues. One of them detects noxious chemicals, and responds to Limonene as if it were toxic. This is hard wired into the fly's brain. Limonene is a potent antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer agent. Limonene has been used clinically to dissolve gallstones, improve mood and relieve heartburn and gastrointestinal reflux. Limonene has been shown to destroy breast-cancer cells in lab experiments, and its powerful antimicrobial action can kill pathogenic bacteria. Limonene sprays are also used to treat depression. Limonene is the second, third or fourth most prevalent terpene in almost all cannabis resins and it is a precursor to the synthesis of other cannabinoids. Limonene is highly absorbed by inhalation and quickly appears in the bloodstream. Since Limonene is known to affect the permeability of the cell membranes, it allows more THC to reach brain cells and increases the absorption of other terpenes.

EXAMPLES

The following examples illustrate certain aspects of the above described invention. They should not be read as limiting the full scope of the invention.

Example 1

Cannabis plant material was cooled to −20 C for 24 hours by placing the cannabis plant material in a freezer. The cold plant material was then triturated twice with cold ethanol (2 mL of ethanol at −20 C per gram of cannabis plant material) by agitating the mixture plant material and ethanol for 3 minutes, then decanting the liquid from the mixture. Portions of decanted ethanol were combined and cooled at −20 C for 24 hours. The precipitate was then removed by gravity filtration. The ethanol was removed from the filtrate by evaporation, leaving an amber oil. The oil was dissolved in ethanol (10-100 mg/mL). This solution was injected into a Supercritical Fluid Chromatograph equipped with an Ethyl Pyridine column. Pure fractions were collected and analyzed by LC-MS, Multiple Reaction Monitoring transitions, full scan detection, photodiode array detection, and Evaporative Light Scattering Detection to assess purity.

Example 2

Cannabis plant material was cooled to −20 C for 24 hours by placing the cannabis plant material in a freezer. The cooled plant material was ground into particles having a diameter of approximately 2 mm. The particles were transferred into a cylinder and connected to a supercritical fluid extraction device for extracting cannabinoids and flavonoids. The extracted material was collected as an amber oil. The oil was dissolved in ethanol (10-100 mg/mL). This solution was injected into a Supercritical Fluid Chromatograph equipped with an Ethyl Pyridine column.
Pure fractions were collected and analyzed by LC-MS, Multiple Reaction Monitoring transitions, full scan detection, photodiode array detection, and Evaporative Light Scattering Detection to assess purity.
