The venous drainage from the GI tract is into the blood perfusing the liver. This means that medicaments absorbed from the lumen of gastrointestinal tract are immediately presented to the liver - the major detoxifying organ of the body. In addition to protecting the organism from ingested toxins, the liver also metabolises medicaments which are treated in the same way. Blood from the liver then returns to the left side of the heart via the hepatic portal vein and reaches 10 the rest of the systemic circulation. This first pass through the liver may result in the removal of a substantial proportion of an ingested medicament. The first pass effect is more pronounced for some drugs than others; in the case of can- nabinoids more than 90% of an ingested dose is removed during the first pass. [0003] Certain areas of the alimentary canal have a venous drainage which does not involve a first pass through the liver. These areas (the mucous membrane of the buccal cavity, under the tongue and the nasopharynx,, and also the 15 distal rectum) drain directly into the left side of the heart. The avoidance of the first pass effect is the rationale for the use of buccal, nasal and sublingual formations, and also suppositories. Each of these types of formulation has advantages and disadvantages, as follows: [0004] Suppositories are subject to hygiene and patient compliance restrictions. [0005] Formulations intended for administration to the nasal mucosae may cause pain or reflex sneezing, and in 20 extreme cases cause irritation and damage to the nasal mucosae. [0006] Sublingual formulations may stimulate the flow of saliva and it is difficult for patients to avoid swallowing when substantial amounts of saliva are produced. Buccal formulations may be subject to the same limitations. [0007] Both sublingual and buccal formulations depend on the efficient transfer of medicament from a hydrophilic vehicle to the mucous membrane of the sublingual or buccal mucosae. Transfer of medicament through the interstices 25 between or through epithelial cells is governed principally by the lipid solubility of the medicament. Where a drug is water insoluble this is a further barrier to absorption from the sublingual area. There are therefore physical and biological limitations on the therapeutic usefulness of lipophilic medicaments, such as for example cannabis and cannabinoids, given by mouth and swallowed. [0008] The present invention relates to liquid spray formulations which are particularly suitable for use for administration 30 of lipophilic medicaments via a mucosal surface such as, for example, the sublingual mucosa or the buccal mucosa. [0009] Prior art liquid cannabinoid formulations include: [0010] Pilot study: the effect of cannabis based medicine on cognitive performance, which teaches administration an sublingual drops; [0011] A phase one study of sublingual cannabis- based medicine extract, J. Pharm. Pharmacol based medicine extract, 35 J. Pharm. Pharmacol 2000, 52 (supplement) 294, which teacher administration via a standard dose sublingual aerosol; and WO 99/32107 which teacher nasal delivery of a cannabinoid in a biphasic delivery system. [0012] By direct experiment it has been shown that lipophilic medicaments can be effectively brought into intimate contact with the absorptive mucous membrane when they are formulated into a self-emulsifying formulation. [0013] In the context of the present invention the following terms will be understood to have the following meanings: 40 [0014] A "self-emulsifying agent" is an agent which will form an emulsion when presented with an alternate phase with a minimum energy requirement. In contrast, an emulsifying agent, as opposed to a self- emulsifying agent, is one requiring additional energy to form an emulsion. In the case of the spray formulations disclosed herein, self- emulsification occurs on contact with the alternative phase (saliva). [0015] A "primary" (self) emulsifier is one whose primary function is as a (self) emulsifier. 45 [0016] A secondary (self) emulsifier is one whose secondary function is as a (self) emulsifier. The secondary (self) emulsifier may have another function, e.g. as a solubiliser or viscosifying agent. [0017] Generally a self-emulsifying agent will be a soluble soap, a salt or a sulphated alcohol, especially a non- ionic surfactant or a quaternary compound. These are often known as self-emulsifying grades (SE grade), e.g. SE grade glyceryl mono oleate, and SE grade glyceryl monostearate. 50 [0018] The "Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance" (HLB) system, the balance between the hydrophilic and lipophilic moieties of a surface-active molecule, is used as a basis for rational means of selecting and classifying emulsifying agents. In the HLB system each emulsifying agent is assigned a number between 1 and 20 (see Pharmaceutical Codex). Emulsifying agents with HLB values of between 3 and 6 are lipophilic and form water- in-oil emulsions, while values of 8 to 18 indicate predominantly hydrophilic characteristics and the formation of oil- in-water emulsions. The preferred emulsifying agents 55 for use in the present invention generally exhibit HLB values of between 8 and 18. [0019] Surprisingly, formulations according to the invention do not produce reflex salivation. pump-action liquid spray formulation which is not a propellant-driven aerosol formulation, comprising solutions or emulisfiable formulations con- taining at least 1.0 mg of cannabinoids per 0.1 ml of liquid spray formulation for buccal delivery, wherein the liquid spray 3 EP 1 361 864 B1 formulation comprises: • tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) in a pre- defined ratio by weight, • a solvent and, 5 • a co-solvent, wherein the solvent is ethanol and the co-solvent is either: (i) a co-solvent which acts as a solubility enhancer which is a polyoxyethylene castor oil derivative, or 10 (ii) a co-solvent which is propylene glycol or glycerol, and in which the liquid spray formulation is discharged through a break- up button and delivered through a nozzle such that the mean aerodynamic diameter of the particles produced is between 15 and 45 microns.

    Student Members of the American Chemical Society Poster Presentation Event November 6, 2020 5:30 - 7:00 pm Stonecipher Lecture Hall Author: Brooke Underwood*, Courtney LaPointe, Dr. Jeffrey Boles Contact information: [email protected] Title: Liquid-liquid extraction and ultraviolet visible spectroscopy methods for distinguishing between hemp and marijuana Abstract: In December 2018, cannabis containing less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), otherwise known as hemp, became legalized due to passage of the Farm Bill (1). This creates problems for law enforcement since current presumptive test kits either 1) don’t work at all or 2) work somewhat in differentiating between legal and illegal hemp crops. This problem exists because most hemp crops and hemp products contain low levels of THC and the carboxylated form, THCA. Our approach involves the advancement of an efficient, mobile, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) that provides presumptive, qualitative forensic evidence of the chemical extract of a bud or other plant material. This research is focused on developing a kit that functions in a similar manner to NIK kits, commonly used by law enforcement, where all components of the kit are contained within a bag. The current NIK kit for Marijuana provides a false positive when Hemp is placed in the bag, thus creating the need for a more reliable test (2). The evidence would later be sent to a crime lab for definitive analysis and quantitation of THC by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). This research has focused on the utilization of liquid-liquid extraction techniques and commercially available stains. The methods presented are rapid (requiring no more than five to six minutes to complete).

Abstract: While contraceptive drugs have enabled many people to decide when they want to have a baby, more than 100 million unintended pregnancies each year in the world may indicate the contraceptive requirement of many people has not been well addressed yet. The vagina is a well- established and practical route for the delivery of various pharmacological molecules, including contraceptives. This review aims to present an overview of different contraceptive methods focusing on the vaginal route of delivery for contraceptives, including current developments, discussing the potentials and limitations of the modern methods, designs, and how well each method performs for delivering the contraceptives and preventing pregnancy.

  • Protocol for Look-Alike and Sound-Alike Drugs
    Community Mental Health for Central Michigan PROTOCOL FOR LOOK-ALIKE AND SOUND-ALIKE DRUGS This protocol should be posted in all licensed residential group homes who contract with Community Mental Health for Central Michigan ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINE In an effort to improve medication safety and to meet The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goal Number 3, Community Mental Health for Central Michigan (CMHCM) has identified a process to address sound-alike and look-alike drugs. The Performance Improvement Team that developed this guideline will continue to monitor new drugs on the market as they are released, review the list included with this guideline on an annual basis, and provide appropriate updates. Appropriate action to prevent errors involving the interchange of these drugs will be taken. Each CMHCM site (including direct and provider network sites) where medication is distributed or administered will post the attached lists and implement a plan for preventing drug mix-ups. This plan may consist of but not be limited to: Listing both the brand and generic names on medication records. Storing products with look-alike or sound-alike names in different locations. Employing double checks in the distribution process. Affixing “name alert” stickers to areas where look-alike or sound-alike products are stored. Changing the appearance of look-alike product names on pharmacy labels, computer screens, shelf labels and bins, and medication records by highlighting, through bold face, color, and/or tall man letters, the parts of the names that are different (e.g. hydrOXYzine, hydrALAzine). Having physicians write prescriptions using both the brand and generic names.
