InMed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: INM), a leader in the manufacturing, development and commercialization of rare cannabinoids, today announced its filing of an international patent application demonstrating neuroprotection and enhanced neuronal function using a rare cannabinoid for the potential treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and others. The Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) application, entitled “Compositions and Methods for Treating Neuronal Disorders with Cannabinoids,” specifies a rare cannabinoid that may inhibit or slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases by providing neuroprotection in a population of affected neurons. Further, the PCT application demonstrates the subject cannabinoid compound can also be used to promote neurite outgrowth, signifying the potential to enhance neuronal function. “We are very encouraged by this initial data demonstrating potential for the use of a rare cannabinoid to improve neuronal function and provide neuroprotection for treating neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease,” said Dr. Eric Hsu, SVP of pre-clinical research and development at InMed. “This PCT patent application advances our strategy directed towards researching and developing rare cannabinoids as potential pharmaceutical therapeutics for diseases with high unmet medical needs. Expanding our patent portfolio to include, in addition to cannabinol (‘CBN’), an incremental rare cannabinoid for the potential treatment of major neurodegeneration indications demonstrates our continued commitment to our pharmaceutical programs and the potential of rare cannabinoids in medicine.”
