Abstract:
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. Further, it discusses the promising applications of NPC-loaded materials in bone regeneration, wound management, and drug delivery systems, emphasizing their improved biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and therapeutic efficacy demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The review also addresses innovative approaches to enhance NPC delivery including the use of computational tools and explores their potential in both biomedical and sports science contexts. By providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, this review aims to outline future directions, emphasizing the potential of NPCs in biomaterial science and regenerative medicine.
