A water-soluble microencapsulated cannabinoid powder consisting essentially of a cannabinoid composition and at least one gum Acacia, and a method of making the same are provided.

Disclosed are a water-dispersible cannabidiol product and a preparation method therefor. The water-dispersible cannabidiol product comprises a product which can be prepared by means of the following method: adding an organic phase containing cannabidiol into a water phase for emulsification; after an organic solvent in an emulsion has been removed, adding glycosylase for a glycosylation treatment; and conducting drying to prepare the water-dispersible cannabidiol product. The prepared dispersible cannabidiol product can be quickly dispersed and dissolved in an aqueous solution. The product after the glycosylation treatment is a glucoside mixture in which cannabidiol is a parent nucleus structure and in which different sugar chain structures have been introduced to phenolic hydroxyl groups.

This disclosure provides particles that are suitable for remotely-triggered therapy for cancer and microbial infection. In an embodiment, this disclosure provides a particle heater comprising a carrier admixed with a material that interacts with an exogenous source; wherein the material absorbs and converts the energy from the exogenous source into heat, then the heat travels outside the particle heater to induce localized hyperthermia at a temperature sufficient to selectively kill unwanted cells, and further wherein the particle heater structure is constructed such that it passes the Extractable Cytotoxicity Test.

Formulations of creatine, preferably phosphocreatine and most preferably disodium phosphocreatine, combined with cyclodextrin exhibit improved uptake across digestive mucosa, including intestinal, esophageal, and stomach mucosa. In particular, the formulations of the present invention are designed for protection of the creatine as they come in contact with gastric juices so as to allow thereafter for unexpectedly improved site-specific intestinal release.

A nasal composition is provided comprising or consisting of a first composition part in the form of a liquid for nasal application to a patient in use, and a second composition part in the form of a powder for nasal application to the patient in use. The first and second composition parts are applied to the patient separately or together as required.

Disclosed are combination therapy methods useful for the therapeutic treatment of cancer by combining local administration of compositions containing antineoplastic particles, such as taxane particles, with systemic administration of compositions containing immunotherapeutic agents. Local administration methods include topical application, pulmonary administration, intratumoral injection, intraperitoneal injection, and intracystic injection.

The present disclosure relates to compositions including a phenylbutyrate compound and a bile acid, and methods of processing such compositions.

Provided herein are methods for treating progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) with an ileal bile acid transport (IBAT) inhibitor such as odevixibat, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Such methods can include reducing mean pruritus score, mean serum bile acid concentration, increasing height, normalizing weight, improving sleep, and improving liver parameters.

Provided herein are compositions comprising a biocompatible microsphere, a biofilm-generating probiotic bacterium, a prebiotic, and/or a prebiofilmic. Methods for preparing and formulating the compositions and methods for treating or preventing a disease using the compositions are also provided.

The present invention provides a composition comprising nanoparticles of prodrugs of certain pharmaceutically active agents, wherein the nanoparticles of prodrugs are dispersed within a carrier material. The present invention further provides processes for the making of the same.
