New compositions are provided containing artemisinin dimers with high activity as anti-protozoal agents, including anti-malarial and anti-leishmanial properties, and methods for the treatment of protozoal infections, including malaria or leishmaniasis.

Selected artemisinin dimers for the treatment of lashmaniasis

Disclosed herein are urushiol-containing epicutaneous patches comprising a support material and a urushiol-containing film on a surface of the support material. A surface of the support material is coated with the urushiol-containing film. Also described herein are test panels comprising urushiol-containing epicutaneous patches of varying urushiol content. The test panels can be employed in methods to assess subject sensitivity to urushiol, to determine a dose-response relationship to varying doses of urushiol, and to assess efficacy of treatments to prevent or inhibit urushiol-induced contact dermatitis in a subject.

Biologically active cannabidiol analogs comprising a compound of the formula wherein one of Ror Ror both is/are the residue of a moiety formed by the reaction of an amino group of the amino acid ester of Ror Ror both with a dicarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid derivative and the other Ror R(in the case of the mono) is the residue of a dicarboxylic acid or dicarboxylic acid derivative or Hydrogen (H), (i.e. underivatized), and salts thereof. These CBD analogs are be useful in pain management in oncology and other clinical settings in which neuropathy is presented. Furthermore, these CBD-analogs are useful in blocking the addictive properties of opiates.

Biologically active cannabidiol analogs

&#x394;-Tetrahydrocannabinol (&#x394;-THC or THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are major constituents of theplant that have pharmacological properties with potential therapeutic value. This invention is directed to processes for large scale isolation of these two and other cannabinoids from theplant. This is accomplished through the discovery that protected amino acid esters of the cannabinoids are easier to separate using normal phase silica column chromatography. Mild base hydrolysis of the esters regenerates the free cannabinoids in a purified form. The invention is also applicable to the isolation of other cannabinoids fromextracts.

Isolation of pure cannabinoids from

The present invention, in one or more embodiments, comprises derivatives of 3-n-pentadecylcatechol (poison ivy urushiol saturated congener) and/or 3-n-heptadecyl catechol (poison oak urushiol saturated congener) as compositions for the prevention and/or prophylactic treatment of contact dermatitis caused by poison ivy and poison oak. The present invention is also directed towards processes for making such compounds. Disclosed are compounds which are effective for tolerizing and desensitizing a subject against allergens contained in plants of the Anacardiaceae and Ginkgoaceae families comprising urushiol esters of general formula (IA) [Formula should be entered here] tolerizing and desensitizing mammals, including humans, to allergens contained in plants of the Anacardiaceae and Ginkgoaceae families is attained by administering a formulation containing at least one urushiol ester compound. 

Compositions for prevention/prophylactic treatment of poison ivy dermatitis
