It will be led by Dr. Harendra Parekh, chief research officer of PreveCeutical. The research team will test a range of cannabis strains to determine candidacy for the development and commercialization of cannabinoid-based Sol-gels.
The primary goal of the research program is to develop a nose-to-brain delivery system that will increase the bioavailability of active drug ingredients. The focus of the research is to apply Sol-gel technology to develop cannabinoid-based therapies for the relief of symptoms associated with pain, inflammation, seizures and neurological disorders. In a news release detailing the announcement, Stephen Van Deventer, chairman and CEO of PreveCeutical, said, “We are extremely excited to receive the Permits, allowing us to further our Sol-gel research program with the high quality cannabis products provided by Aurora.

Unlike other delivery systems, PreveCeutical’s Sol-gel delivery technology enables ease of application and provides long-lasting effects, all while eliminating negative side effects.
This latest research initiative comes on the back of established innovative solutions for preventive and curative therapies. The company’s first product, CELLB9®, is a Caribbean blue scorpion venom-based product that has been successfully marketed and distributed worldwide. PreveCeutical is currently in the development phase of a product based on this venom for the treatment, regulation and prevention of cancer progression. The company is also developing solutions based on the peptides derived from Caribbean blue scorpion venom for pain management, cancers, cardiovascular conditions, metabolic disorders and infectious diseases.
