How can the extraction and isolation of CBGV from cannabis be improved to enhance its therapeutic potential? The extraction and isolation of cannabigerovarin (CBGV) from cannabis can be improved by optimizing extraction techniques such as supercritical CO2 extraction, which offers high selectivity and yield while preserving cannabinoid integrity. Developing advanced chromatographic methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), can facilitate the efficient separation of CBGV from other cannabinoids and impurities, enhancing purity and potency. Additionally, employing biotechnological approaches, such as enzymatic conversions, can potentially increase CBGV yield from precursor cannabinoids, allowing for more efficient production. Collaborative efforts between chemists and biotechnologists can lead to innovative extraction methodologies that maximize CBGV's therapeutic potential, thereby supporting research into its efficacy for various medical applications (González et al., 2019).
