Industrial Crops & Products

Health benefits, pharmacological properties, and metabolism of cannabinol: A comprehensive review

This review highlights the health benefits of Cannabinol (CBN), showcasing the ingredient’s non-psychoactive therapuetic potential (Khouchlaa, 2024).

Alzheimer's Dementia® - The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association

Targeting mitochondria for healthy brain aging: a case study of non-psychoactive cannabinoids to rescue mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease.

This research highlights that Cannabinol (CBN) is a novel inhibitor of oxytosis/ferroptosis, directly targeting mitochondria for healthy brain aging.
It also shows that CBN protects crucial aspects of mitochondrial function for neuroprotection (Liang & Maher, 2022).

Pharmaceuticals

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Assess the Effectiveness and Safety of Melatonin and Three Formulations of Floraworks Proprietary TruCBN™ for Improving Sleep

This study found that orally ingested Cannabinol (CBN), at 50 mg is a safe and effective alternative for the improvement of sleep (Kolobaric et al., 2024).

Free Radical Biology and Medicine

Cannabinol inhibits oxytosis/ferroptosis by directly targeting mitochondria independently of cannabinoid receptors

This research demonstrated that Cannabinol (CBN) protects nerve cells from damage caused by oxytosis/ferroptosis, without relying on cannabinoid receptors and has the potential to rescue mitochondria from dysfunction. It was found that CBN specifically targets mitochondria, preserving critical functions like redox regulation, calcium uptake, membrane potential, bioenergetics, biogenesis, and helps maintain mitochondrial fusion and fission dynamics, which are often disrupted during neurodegeneration (Liang et al., 2022).
