Oral lipid-based formulations alter delivery of cannabidiol to different anatomical regions in the brain (2023)
Journal Article
Brookes, A., Jewell, A., Feng, W., Bradshaw, T. D., Butler, J., & Gershkovich, P. (2023). Oral lipid-based formulations alter delivery of cannabidiol to different anatomical regions in the brain. International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 635, Article 122651. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122651

Delivery to the brain is a challenging task due to its protection by the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Lipids and fatty acids are reported to affect the permeability of the BBB, although this has not been reported following oral administration. Cannabid...
