A recently granted patent (US12023305B2) outlines a method for treating epileptic seizures through the administration of a cannabis plant extract rich in cannabidivarin (CBDV). The extract is characterized by a composition where the phytocannabinoid component constitutes over 50% of the total weight, with CBDV making up more than 40% of the extract. Additionally, the extract includes cannabidiol (CBD) as a secondary phytocannabinoid, present in amounts ranging from 5% to 27%. The formulation also contains a non-phytocannabinoid component, which is primarily composed of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, with specific weight percentages defined for each fraction.

Further claims within the patent specify variations in the composition of the cannabis extract, including the potential inclusion of tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). The phytocannabinoid component can range from 64% to 78% of the extract, with CBDV constituting 52% to 64% of this fraction. The patent also details the proportions of CBD and THCV within the phytocannabinoid component, as well as the specific makeup of the monoterpene fraction, which includes a principal monoterpene making up 61% to 75% of the total weight. This patent presents a structured approach to utilizing cannabis extracts for therapeutic purposes, particularly in the management of epileptic seizures.
