Scientists create non-psychoactive seizure-fighting compounds from caraway seeds, showing promise in animals.
Researchers at UNLV and New Mexico State University have developed synthetic CBD-like compounds from carvone in caraway seeds, showing promise in preclinical tests for treating seizures without psychoactive effects or the risks of current drugs.
The lab-made molecules effectively reduced seizures and supported brain development in animal models, offering a potential alternative to cannabis-derived CBD and benzodiazepines.
While not effective when consuming caraway seeds, the compounds may lead to safer, more accessible treatments for children with treatment-resistant epilepsy.
Human trials are still needed, but the findings represent a significant step toward regulated, non-cannabis-based therapies.
