The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of focal seizures. In one embodiment the patients suffering from focal seizures are children and young adults. CBD appears particularly effective in reducing focal seizures in patients suffering with etiologies that include: Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome; Tuberous Sclerosis Complex; Dravet Syndrome; CDKL5; Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL); febrile infection related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES); Aicardi syndrome and brain abnormalities in comparison to other seizure types. Significantly CBD additionally is very effective in the reduction of a sub-type of focal seizures, focal seizures with impairment.

The disclosure is directed to novel dopamine D3 receptor antagonists, processes for their preparation, intermediates used in these processes, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, including treating drug dependency and psychosis.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating a pediatric epilepsy or epilepsy-related syndrome comprising the phenyl carbamate compound as an active ingredient, and a use of the phenyl carbamate compound for preventing and/or treating pediatric epilepsy or pediatric epilepsy-related syndromes.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating a movement disorder comprising the phenyl carbamate compound as an active ingredient, and a use of the phenyl carbamate compound for preventing and/or treating movement disorder.

Embodiments of the invention relate to methods for the manufacture of a protein-bound cannabinoid, comprising: obtaining a cannabinoid or cannabis in a form selected from the group consisting of cannabis smoke, cannabis vapor, cannabinoid solution and cannabis extract, and combining the cannabis smoke, vapor, cannabinoid solution or cannabis extract with an aqueous solution or suspension comprising a plasma protein to form a protein-bound cannabinoid. Further embodiments relate to aqueous solutions comprising a plasma protein-bound cannabinoid and pharmaceutical compositions comprising cannabinoids bound to plasma protein.

The present disclosure relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of seizures in patients aged about 1-2 years old. In particular the CBD appears particularly effective in reducing seizures in patients suffering with etiologies that include: Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome; Tuberous Sclerosis Complex; Dravet Syndrome; Doose Syndrome; Aicardi syndrome; CDKL5 and Dun15q.
