Hypothesis: Cannabis Root Extracts as Novel Antibacterial Agents in Dermatological Applications

This infographic illustrates how cannabis root extracts, particularly their alkaloid compounds, combat bacterial skin infections by reducing pathogen load and promoting skin health, acting as a natural alternative to conventional treatments.

Background

While cannabinoids from flowers and leaves have been extensively studied, cannabis root systems contain unique bioactive compounds that have been largely overlooked in modern research. Traditional herbalists have used cannabis roots for centuries to treat various skin conditions.

Hypothesis

Cannabis root extracts contain bioactive compounds with significant antibacterial properties that can be effectively utilized in skincare formulations for treating bacterial skin infections and promoting overall skin health.

Key Compounds of Interest

Friedelin: Known anti-inflammatory properties
Epifriedelanol: Analgesic effects
Triterpenoids: Skin-protective capabilities
Alkaloids: Potential antimicrobial activity

Proposed Research

Extraction & Isolation: Systematic extraction and characterization of bioactive compounds from cannabis root systems
Antibacterial Testing: In vitro efficacy testing against common skin pathogens (S. aureus, P. acnes, etc.)
Bioavailability Studies: Skin penetration and absorption analysis
Safety Assessment: Toxicology and dermal safety testing
Formulation Development: Creation of prototype skincare products

Expected Outcomes

We expect to demonstrate that specific compounds from cannabis roots possess measurable antibacterial activity and can be safely formulated into topical skincare products, providing a natural alternative to conventional antibacterial agents.
