Abstract
Cannabidiol (CBD), nonpsychotropic cannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa, is a very promising drug candidate offering many differential effects such as sedative, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. Nevertheless, the therapeutic use of CBD is hindered by its lack of water solubility and relatively low bioavailability. Various carriers have been used to address the solubility issues of CBD and other highly lipophilic drugs so far. However, self-assembled peptide nanostructures as carrier have not been used to improve the water solubility of CBD yet. In this study, a self-assembling peptide micelle was demonstrated to be an effective vehicle for encapsulation of CBD and increased its aqueous solubility up to 2000-fold compared to CBD itself.
期刊介绍：
The Turkish Journal of Chemistry is a bimonthly multidisciplinary journal published by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK).
The journal is dedicated to dissemination of knowledge in all disciplines of chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical, polymeric, technical, theoretical and analytical chemistry) as well as research at the interface with other sciences especially in chemical engineering where molecular aspects are key to the findings.
The journal accepts English-language original manuscripts and contribution is open to researchers of all nationalities.
The journal publishes refereed original papers, reviews, letters to editor and issues devoted to special fields.
All manuscripts are peer-reviewed and electronic processing ensures accurate reproduction of text and data, plus publication times as short as possible.
