Dronabinol/palmidrol

Dronabinol/palmidrol

Dronabinol/palmidrol (developmental code names SCI-110, THX-OSA01, THX-RS01, THX-110, and THX-TS01), also known as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol/palmitoylethanolamide (THC/PEA), is a combination of dronabinol (Δ9-THC), a cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptor agonist, and palmidrol (palmitoylethanolamide; PEA), an endocannabinoid-like fatty acid amide with various cannabidiol (CBD)-like actions, which is under development for the treatment of agitation, Alzheimer's disease, Tourette's syndrome, and sleep apnea syndrome. It was also under development for treatment of back pain, but development for this indication was discontinued. The drug is taken orally. It is thought that palmidrol may enhance the effectiveness and tolerability compared to dronabinol alone. The drug was originated by Therapix Biosciences and is being developed by SciSparc. As of September 2025, the drug is in phase 2 clinical trials for all active indications.
