This invention is for improving the manufacturing pharmaceutical grade CBD and other cannabinoids following current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) of the US FDA for use in clinical trials for CNS and other indications by the NIH and other researchers. The major cannabinoids in marijuana (Cannabis) and hemp originate from Cannabigerolic Acid (CBGA) present in the biomass of the plant. Plant enzymes that are specific to different strains of biomass converts CBGA to different carboxylic acids of cannabinoids including Cannabidiolic Acid (CBDA) and Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (Δ9-THCA). These are relatively stable in the growing and fresh-cut plants. These are converted by thermal decarboxylation to Cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), carbon dioxide and water. Cannabinoids can be manufactured by first heating the Cannabis biomass to convert carboxylic acids prior to extraction and purification. Alternatively, and preferably because of manufacturing cost and product stability, the carboxylic acids can be first extracted and purified.

The spontaneous assembly of chiral structures from building blocks that lack chirality is fundamentally important for colloidal chemistry and has implications for the formation of advanced optical materials. Here, we find that purified achiral gold tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles assemble into two-dimensional superlattices that exhibit planar chirality under a balance of repulsive electrostatic and attractive van der Waals and depletion forces. A model accounting for these interactions shows that the growth of planar structures is kinetically preferred over similar three-dimensional products, explaining their selective formation.

The present invention provides liposome compositions containing sparingly soluble drugs that are used to treat life-threatening diseases. A preferred method of encapsulating a drug inside a liposome is by remote or active loading. Remote loading of a drug into liposomes containing a transmembrane electrochemical gradient is initiated by co-mixing a liposome suspension with a solution of drug, whereby the neutral form of the compound freely enters the liposome and becomes electrostatically charged thereby preventing the reverse transfer out of the liposome. There is a continuous build-up of compound within the liposome interior until the electrochemical gradient is dissipated or all the drug is encapsulated in the liposome. However, this process as described in the literature has been limited to drugs that are freely soluble in aqueous solution or solubilized as a water-soluble complex. This invention describes compositions and methods for remote loading drugs with low water solubility (<2 mg/mL). In the preferred embodiment the drug in the solubilizing agent is mixed with the liposomes in aqueous suspension so that the concentration of solubilizing agent is lowered to below its capacity to completely solubilize the drug. This results in the drug precipitating but remote loading is capability retained. The process is scalable and the resulting drug-loaded liposomes are characterized by a high drug-to-lipid ratios and predictable drug retention when the liposome encapsulated drug is administered in patients.
