Arev Brands' terpenes used for treating burns

AREV BRANDS INTERNATIONAL LTD. ANNOUNCES SUCCESS IN TERPENE BLENDS ON 1ST DEGREE BURNS AND INSECT BITES

Arev Brands International Ltd. has reached another major milestone in one of its several joint development projects with Alternative Extracts Inc. Further to the research work reported on Sept. 20, 2018, terpenes from non-regulated sources were used to formulate a proprietary composition for burns and insect bites. As noted in peer-reviewed literature, terpene synthesis is vital for cannabinoid synthesis as it provides the GPP molecule for CBGA synthesis.

The blisters from the burn were completely eliminated within four days from the first application. The patient in this case is a 50-year-old woman who has a known history of keloid formation. It is noted that the patient did not develop any infection.

Arev extracted the valuable terpenes from selected non-regulated plant materials and exudates from trees using its extraction systems that it acquired from Alternative Extracts Inc. (AEI). The composition was formulated in collaboration between Arev and AEI. The mechanism of the composition is believed to be the result of the poly-molecular function of the terpenes.

The company cautions that, although these results are encouraging, a wider sample population is required. A formal study will be conducted in the coming months.

Burn data from World Health Organization show that:

  • In India, over one million people are moderately or severely burnt every year.
  • Nearly 173,000 Bangladeshi children are moderately or severely burnt every year.
  • In Bangladesh, Colombia, Egypt and Pakistan, 17 per cent of children with burns have a temporary disability and 18 per cent have a permanent disability.
  • Burns are the second-most common injury in rural Nepal, accounting for 5 per cent of disabilities.
  • In 2008, over 410,000 burn injuries occurred in the United States, with approximately 40,000 requiring hospitalization.

Mike Withrow, chief executive officer and a director, commented, "Although we are pleased to have been able to minimize the pain and scarring in this burn patient, the results from the use of our proprietary blend of natural compounds warrants further testing and trials."

Dr. Adrian Wade, chief science officer of Alternative Extracts, commented: "This collaboration continues to produce highly effective compounds and formulations. Terpenes have demonstrated to play an important role in an increasing number of natural health and medical products."
