Disulfiram inhibits activating transcription factor cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein and human melanoma growth in a metal-dependent manner in vitro, in mice and in a patient with metastatic disease

Disulfiram and zinc gluconate reduce hepatic tumor volume in a patient with metastatic ocular melanoma. Computed axial tomograms (top)
and positron emission spectrographs (bottom) of a 64-year-old woman with stage IV ocular melanoma metastatic to the liver. Before treatment, she had a
5.5 cm central liver metastasis (white arrows). After 3 months of treatment with disulfiram (500 mg/d) and zinc gluconate (50 mg thrice daily), the hepatic
metastasis had decreased in volume by >50% in both scans (white arrows). After continuing treatment with disulfiram (250 mg/d) and the same dose of
zinc gluconate, the lesion remained stable in size at 10 and 14 months (white arrows). She continues to be clinically well and free of drug side effects on
disulfiram and zinc gluconate. After 53 continuous months of treatment with this regimen, she has experienced no quantifiable malignant progression. A
follow-up abdominal computed tomography scan after 42 months of therapy shows that the hepatic tumor burden has remained small.

CANNABIDIOL (CBD) Pre-Review Report Expert Committee 5.2 WHO

Under experimental conditions,it has been demonstrated that heating CBD in solutions of some acidscatalysescyclizations within the CBDmolecule resulting in delta-9-THC[28]. Gaoni and Mechoulam have published several papers regarding methods of converting CBD to other cannabinoids including THC, however the yields vary and purity is unclear. [9]A version of thismethod has been reported on a drug user forum. Itsuggests dissolving CBD in sulphuric acid/acetic acid and leaving it for anywhere from3 hours to 3 days to obtain delta-9-THC and delta-8-THC. After 3 hours, the author states that CBD has been converted into 52% delta-9-THC and 2% delta-8-THC.
