OXNARD, Calif., May 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CURE Pharmaceutical (OTC:CURR), an innovative drug delivery and development company, today announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 10,307,397, which covers the high load of bioactive cannabinoid molecules integrated into oral thin film dosage forms. The cannabinoids include cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
“Advances in drug delivery are critical to improving cannabis-based products,” said Rob Davidson, CEO of CURE Pharmaceutical. “This patent secures a critical advantage – the ability to deliver high loads of cannabinoid active molecules with an oral thin film for optimal efficacy and dosing frequency.”
A higher load in oral thin film means 30 percent or more of the cannabinoid molecule is integrated. So, for example, 30mg of cannabidiol (CBD) for a 100mg film. This is meaningful for CBD, as higher doses are often desirable for optimal effect on the endocannabinoid system.
CURE has vertical research and manufacturing operations registered with the DEA to develop and manufacture cannabis-derived and synthetic cannabidiol-based products using its CUREfilm™ technology at its facility in Oxnard, Calif. With CUREfilm, the delivery of cannabinoids is easier and more effective as it offers increased bioavailability, ease and precision of dosing and greater palatability.
This patent is co-assigned to CURE Pharmaceutical and Concept Matrix Solutions.
