An oral cannabis composition comprising molecularly separated cannabinoids, MCT oil and a terpene blend. A method of producing the oral cannabis composition comprising the steps of a) producing cannabis extract by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction; b) after step a), winterizing the cannabis extract; c) after step b), distilling the winterized cannabis extract to produce molecularly separated cannabinoids; d) after step c), mixing the molecularly separated cannabinoids with MCT oil; and e) after step d), mixing the mixture of MCT oil and molecularly separated cannabinoids with a terpene blend. A second method comprises the steps of a) selecting a desired mixture of molecularly separate cannabinoids; b) after step a), mixing the molecularly separated cannabinoids with MCT oil; and c) after step b), mixing the mixture of MCT oil and molecularly separated cannabinoids with a terpene blend.

The present invention relates to co-amorphous forms of a drug substance and a protein, more particularly beta-lactoglobulin, wherein the purity of the beta-lactoglobulin is at least 92% (w/w) of the total amount of protein comprised in the co-amorphous form. The present invention also relates to compositions, such as pharmaceutical compositions, comprising the co-amorphous form.

A process for producing nanoclusters of silicon and/or germanium exhibiting a permanent magnetic and/or electric dipole moment for adjusting the work function of materials, for micro- and nano-electronics, for telecommunications, for “nano-ovens”, for organic electronics, for photoelectric devices, for catalytic reactions and for fractionation of water.

An antibiotic composition contains, as an active ingredient, a diatomaceous earth-zinc oxide composite comprising zinc oxide on diatomaceous earth, and an antifungal combination preparation G contains a diatomaceous earth-zinc oxide composite including zinc oxide on diatomaceous earth and an antifungal agent. The antibiotic composition is less toxic while exhibiting excellent antibiotic activity, for example, antiviral, antibacterial or antifungal activity. The antibiotic composition is usable to prevent contamination or infection by viruses, bacteria or fungi, inhibit the growth of viruses, bacteria or fungi, or treat infections by viruses, bacteria or fungi.

Use of a nicotine-cellulose combination for the preparation of a snuff composition for achievement of a fast onset of action of nicotine after application of the snuff composition to the oral cavity of a subject, wherein the composition has a high release rate so that when subjected to an in vitro dissolution test about 45% or more of the total content of nicotine is released within 30 minutes. Moreover, the invention relates to an improved snuff composition for application to the oral cavity.

Drug-loaded microbead compositions include microbeads of a biodegradable material and vesicular agents located within or associated with the biodegradable material of the microbeads. The vesicular agents include a lipid bilayer and comprise liposomes or ethosomes. The drug-loaded microbeads include a first therapeutic agent associated with the vesicular agents, and a second therapeutic agent different from the first therapeutic agent. The vesicular agents include a lipid bilayer surrounding a vesicular core. The second therapeutic agent is contained within the microbeads or associated with the microbeads through ionic or non-covalent interaction and may or may not be associated with the vesicular agents. Drug-loaded biodegradable microbead compositions include microbeads of biodegradable material and a therapeutic agent.
