The disclosure provides systems and methods for producing a cannabinoid product, which comprises contacting a cannabinoid precursor in a first phase with a cannabinoid synthase in a second phase, wherein the first phase and the second phase are substantially immiscible or immiscible. The disclosure also provides a composition comprising the cannabinoid precursor in a first phase and a cannabinoid synthase in a second phase, wherein the first phase and the second phase are substantially immiscible or immiscible.

Apparatus, methods and composition for synthesis of cannabinoid compounds

The present invention provides an apparatus and methods for producing tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) and cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) in different ratios. The apparatus comprises: (i) a bioreactor comprising (a) an automated supply system configured to deliver a first automated supply of cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), a cannabinoid acid synthase, and a reaction mixture; and (b) a second automated system to cease the reaction; (ii) a controller configured to modify a property of the reaction mixture to produce the desired products; and (iii) an extractor configured to recover the tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) or cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and cannabichromenic acid.

Apparatus and methods for biosynthetic production of cannabinoids

The present invention provides methods for producing cannabinoids. More specifically, the invention is directed to the bio-enzymatic synthesis of THC-v, CBV and CBN by contacting a compound according to Formula I with a cannabinoid synthase enzyme. Also described is a system for producing these pharmaceutically important cannabinoids and the use of such cannabinoids as therapeutic agents.

Bioenzymatic synthesis of THC-v, CBV and CBN and their use as therapeutic agents

The present invention provides methods for producing cannabinoids and cannabinoid analogs as well as a system for producing these compounds. The inventive method is directed to contacting a compound according to Formula I or Formula II with a cannabinoid synthase.  Also described is a system for producing cannabinoids and cannabinoid analogs by contacting a THCA synthase with a cannabinoid precursor and modifying at least one property of the reaction mixture to influence the quantity formed of a first cannabinoid relative to the quantity formed of a second cannabinoid.

Chemical engineering processes and apparatus for the synthesis of compounds

The present disclosure provides biostable cannabinoid compounds according to Formula I: and methods for synthesizing and enhancing the biological concentrations of the compounds, where R, R, and Rare defined as set forth in the disclosure.

Bio-stable cannabinoid compounds and methods for enhancing their physiological concentration

The inventive method is directed to contacting a compound according to Formula I or Formula II with a cannabinoid synthase. Also described is a system for producing cannabinoids and cannabinoid analogs by contacting a THCA synthase with a cannabinoid precursor and modifying at least one property of the reaction mixture to influence the quantity formed of a first cannabinoid relative to the quantity formed of a second cannabinoid.

The present disclosure relates to methods and constructs for producing heterologous peptides and proteins in plants in a safe and controlled manner. One aspect of the present invention provides a method of producing heterologous protein in a transformed potato plant using an expression cassette comprising a gene coding for a protein or peptide of interest and a marker gene, a nucleotide sequence capable of suppressing patatin expression, along with a nucleotide sequence capable of suppressing CD4B expression, and/or a nucleotide sequence capable of overexpressing P19. Another aspect of the invention provides a method of producing a heterologous protein in a transformed potato plant using an expression cassette comprising a gene coding for a protein or peptide of interest, a marker gene, a transit peptide sequence, and a nucleotide sequence capable of suppressing ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase expression.
