Current Challenges and Opportunities for Improved Cannabidiol Solubility

Khondker Rufaka Hossain,

Stella M. Valenzuela

Abstract: Cannabidiol (CBD), derived from the cannabis plant, has gained significant attention due to its potential therapeutic benefits. However, one of the challenges associated with CBD administration is its low bioavailability, which refers to the fraction of an administered dose that reaches systemic circulation. This limitation necessitates the exploration of various approaches to enhance the bioavailability of CBD, thus helping to maximize its therapeutic potential. A variety of approaches are now emerging, inclu… Show more

“…Although preclinical studies support CBD's promise as a potential treatment for AD, there are several limitations and areas for future research to address. First, despite encouraging results from preclinical studies, to date, no human randomized control trials (RCTs) have investigated the efficacy and safety of CBD in treating AD [2,11,26,[156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167][168]. Second, the optimal dosage, administration route, formulation, and treatment duration of CBD for achieving effective management of AD is unclear, and determining this remains challenging [38,[158][159][160]162,164,165,[169][170][171].…”

Individual variability in responses to CBD and factors like age, sex, and genetic predisposition complicate establishing optimal treatment protocols [2,159,166].…”

“…We have optimized the encapsulation efficiency (EE) and drug loading (DL) parameters of our SLNs through meticulous formulation strategies to address these challenges. Our approach involves a comprehensive analysis to enhance CBD's bioavailability and minimize degradation, resulting in an efficient delivery system that maximizes its therapeutic benefits [31,33]. By leveraging CBD's pharmacological advantages, we aim to extend its applicability in treating chronic conditions, underscoring the importance of advanced drug delivery systems in overcoming the pharmacokinetic limitations associated with hydrophobic compounds.…”

“…One challenge has concerned its hydrophobic nature, with poor water solubility posing difficulties in formulating CBD into aqueous solutions, limiting its options for oral delivery. 12 , 13 Another disadvantage has been the low oral bioavailability of CBD. CBD undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver when taken orally, significantly reducing its bioavailability.…”
