OXNARD, Calif., July 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CURE Pharmaceutical (OTC: CURR), an innovative drug delivery and development company, today announced that its 25mg cannabidiol (CBD) oral thin film (OTF) showed improved bioavailability of cannabidiol in healthy subjects, compared with 25mg soft gels. Specifically, a pharmacokinetic (PK) study in 14 healthy adults showed a significantly higher serum concentration (Cmax) and significantly faster absorption (Tmax) from CURE's CBD OTF dose form than from a commercially available CBD soft gel. The study also suggests that the CUREform™ delivery platform, which entails solubilization and encapsulation of the molecule, might deliver better results than solubilization alone, as used in the soft gel product, and may play a synergistic or additive role in bioavailability.
CBD, a phytocannabinoid compound, has limited oral bioavailability because it is fat soluble, which is difficult for the body to absorb. It also degrades extensively via the first pass metabolism. CUREform™, CURE’s proprietary delivery platform, is uniquely designed to overcome such obstacles and deliver active ingredients more effectively.
