Abstract

The dynamic interaction between carbon nanodots (CNDs) and cannabidiol (CBD) has captured significant attention as an innovative avenue for redefining drug delivery and amplifying therapeutic effectiveness. This in-depth review delves into the intricate synergy between these two elements, unveiling their profound potential in medicine. Commencing with an examination of the unique characteristics of CNDs and the techniques governing their synthesis, we discuss their versatility as drug carriers, highlighting their invaluable role in advancing CBD delivery. Cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound sourced from cannabis, has emerged as a focal point for its diverse therapeutic attributes. Nevertheless, the limitations posed by its restricted bioavailability and susceptibility to degradation pose substantial hindrances to realizing its full potential. Here, we elucidate how the amalgamation of CBD with CNDs transcends these challenges. We delve into the mechanisms that underlie this synergy, such as the augmentation of solubility and the safeguarding of CBD against premature breakdown, providing an intricate analysis. We will also journey you through a comprehensive exploration of diverse CBD loading techniques onto CNDs, dissecting the realms of physical encapsulation, covalent bonding, and adsorption processes. In summation, the combination of CNDs and CBD presents an extraordinary opportunity to elevate therapeutic outcomes. This synergetic paradigm masterfully tackles pivotal challenges in drug delivery, thereby paving the path for pioneering medical solutions.
