Developing drugs for the Moon, Mars, and beyond
Isolation of endocannabinoids, such as CBD or CBN, and encapsulation into nanolipids provide an alternative way to preserve drugs in deep-space and enhance bioavailability. All 400 compounds from cannabis are from a naturally occurring plant with clear benefits that need extensive research
Breakthrough in anxiety management - First of its kind in 50 years
- CBD notably reduced anxiety in breast cancer patients at Dana Farber Cancer Institute with 400mg administered in regimented cases against the placebo. Published 2023.
- The reduction in anxiety led to enhanced pharmaceutical outcomes of chemotherapy drugs and potentially saving many lives in the process; this breakthrough in anxiety management was the first of its kind in 50 years
- What if we created specialized pills with CBD and/or other cannabinoids to prevent anxiety in astronauts long-term?
Develop Therapies to target endocannabinoid pathway
- Dartmouth College showed that receptors for cannabinoids, opioids, and serotonin, including 5H2A, were especially rich in areas involved in emotional regulation of the anterior prefrontal cortex.
Precision Medicine
- Deep sequencing analysis, protein expression for telomerase activity, and spatial patterns for plant development in LEO environments, or other rocky surfaces like that of the Moon or Mars, will need extensive research under varying conditions not normally seen on Earth.
