Abstract Introduction Organic molecules that bind to cannabinoid receptors are called cannabinoids, and they have similar pharmacological properties like the plant, Cannabis sativa L. Hyphenated liquid chromatography (LC), incorporating high‐performance (HPLC) ultra‐performance (UPLC, also known as ultrahigh‐performance chromatography, UHPLC), usually coupled an ultraviolet (UV), UV‐photodiode array (PDA) or mass spectrometry (MS) detector, has become a popular analytical tool for analysis of naturally occurring cannabinoids in various matrices. Objective To review literature on use LC‐based methods published since 2010. Methodology A comprehensive search was performed utilising several databases, Web Knowledge, PubMed Google Scholar, other relevant materials including books. The keywords used, combinations, with being present all were , hemp, marijuana, analysis, HPLC, UHPLC, UPLC, quantitative, qualitative quality control. Results Since 2010, LC been reported.

Abstract Background Cannabis has been documented for use in alleviating anxiety. However, certain research also shown that it can produce feelings of anxiety, panic, paranoia and psychosis. In humans, Δ 9 -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) associated with an anxiogenic response, while anxiolytic activity attributed mainly to cannabidiol (CBD). animal studies, the effects THC are highly dose-dependent, biphasic cannabinoids on anxiety-related responses have extensively documented. A more precise assessment is required both potentials phytocannabinoids, aim towards development ‘holy grail’ cannabis research, a medicinally-active formulation which may assist treatment anxiety or mood disorders without eliciting any effects. Objectives To systematically review studies assessing cannabinoid interventions (e.g. CBD whole interventions) animals as well recent epidemiological reporting from consumption.

Specifically, major phytocannabinoids derived from plant such as (−) trans‐Δ 9 ‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabidiol (CBD), have been shown be responsible for pharmacological therapeutic properties. Recently, these also attracted special attention cancer treatment their well‐known palliative chemotherapy‐induced nausea, vomiting, pain loss appetite along with anticancer activities. Despite enormous benefits, low aqueous solubility, high instability (susceptibility extensive first pass metabolism) poor systemic bioavailability restrict utilization at clinical perspective. Therefore, drug delivery strategies based on nanotechnology are emerging improve pharmacokinetic profile cannabinoids well enhance targeted delivery. Here, we critically review nano‐formulation systems engineered overcoming limitations native including polymeric lipid‐based nanoparticles (lipid nano capsules (LNCs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), nanoemulsions (NE) self‐emulsifying (SEDDS)), ethosomes cyclodextrins applications.
