Exploring the Potential of Nonpsychoactive Cannabinoids in the Development of Materials for Biomedical and Sports Applications.

This Perspective explores the potential of nonpsychoactive cannabinoids (NPCs) such as CBD, CBG, CBC, and CBN in developing innovative biomaterials for biomedical and sports applications. It examines their physicochemical properties, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective effects, and their integration into various biomaterials such as hydrogels, sponges, films, and scaffolds. It also discusses the current challenges in standardizing formulations, understanding long-term effects, and understanding their intrinsical regulatory landscapes.
