VANCOUVER, British Columbia , March 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire - NeutriSci International Inc. (the "Company" or "NeutriSci") (TSX-V:NU) (OTCQB:NRXCF) (FRANKFURT:1N9) the innovator and pioneer behind neuenergy®, is pleased to announce the filing of a new U.S. provisional patent application (United States Provisional Patent No. 62/628,735; Compositions Comprising Co-crystals of Stilbenoids and Cannabinoids) relating to compositions comprising pterostilbene and other stilbenoids in formulations which improve the dissolution rate and bioavailability of cannabinoid compounds.
Cannabinoids are a group of compounds which are ligands to cannabinoid receptors (CB1, CB2) found in the human body. Cannabinoids have been reported to counter the symptoms of a broad range of conditions including multiple sclerosis and other forms of muscular spasm, including uterine and bowel cramps; movement disorders; pain, including migraine headache; glaucoma, asthma, inflammation, insomnia, and high blood pressure. There may also be utility for cannabinoids as an oxytoxic, anxiolytic, anti-convulsive, anti-depressant and anti-psychotic agent, or anti-cancer agent, as well as an appetite stimulant.
As outlined in the patent application, the invention is a process for preparing an oral dosage form containing a cannabinoid and a stilbenoid or a derivative thereof, the process comprising: mixing and/or bonding a cannabinoid oil with the stilbenoid or the derivative thereof and generating co-crystals of the cannabinoid and the stilbenoid; lyophilizing the co-crystals to form a powder; adding a solubility enhancing agent to the powder; and formulating the powder into the oral dosage form.
Mr. Glen Rehman, President of NeutriSci, stated, "This is a major announcement, representing a giant move forward for NeutriSci. This invention and provisional patent application provides NeutriSci with a significant step towards the development of a solid drug delivery platform. We intend to continue to strengthen our intellectual property portfolio as we believe our IP portfolio to be a valued asset moving forward.”
