Source-derived summary

Dronabinol/palmidrol (developmental code names SCI-110, THX-OSA01, THX-RS01, THX-110, and THX-TS01), also known as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol/palmitoylethanolamide (THC/PEA), is a combination of dronabinol (Δ9-THC), a cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptor agonist, and palmidrol (palmitoylethanolamide; PEA), an endocannabinoid-like fatty acid amide with various cannabidiol (CBD)-like actions, which is under development for the treatment of agitation, Alzheimer's disease, Tourette's syndrome, and sleep apnea syndrome. It was also under development for treatment of back pain, but development for this indication was discontinued. The drug is taken orally. It is thought that palmidrol may enhance the effectiveness and tolerability compared to dronabinol alone. The drug was originated by Therapix Biosciences and is being developed by SciSparc. As of September 2025, the drug is in phase 2 clinical trials for all active indications.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as pharmaceutical compound. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q140246396. The first chronological checks are 2025.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
