In situ forming implants (IFIs) that are typically made of a drug, solvent, and a biocompatible polymer, offer an interesting potential for parenteral controlled drug delivery. Also, they have the advantages of a non-complicated preparation and an easy administration using conventional subcutaneous needles. In fact, several IFIs containing doxycycline or leuprorelin are currently approved by FDA and/or EMA. Cannabidiol (CBD), the main non-psychotropic cannabinoid, appears as a potential anticancer drug, but it shows high lipophilicity and instability that complicates its handling and dosing and restricts its use by a parenteral route. The use of IFIs could be a good strategy to develop long-active CBD formulations. The objective of this work was to evaluate, among several biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, the most suitable to develop CBD-ISFIs.
