Preveceutical, Endosane to proceed with studies

PREVECEUTICAL & ENDOSANE ANNOUNCES INNOVATIVE PRECLINICAL APPROACHES TO ASSESS BRAIN AVAILABILITY OF CBD AND PHARMACOLOGICALLY RELEVANT DOSES FOLLOWING INTRANASAL CBD APPLICATION

Preveceutical Medical Inc. and Endosane Pharmaceuticals GmbH will proceed with the company's research initiative focused on preclinical studies to evaluate the brain delivery characteristics of sol-gel technology and whether pharmacologically relevant concentrations of CBD (cannabidiol) can be achieved with this technology. The company's commitment to advancing medical research is demonstrated through its comprehensive research proposal for a first preclinical study in rats.

Research Objectives:

The primary objectives of this study include:

Objective 1: Investigating the potential of sol-gel technology for rapid delivery of CBD to the brain. This includes assessing the amounts achieved, regional distribution, and time course of CBD uptake in the brain (Experiments 1 and 2).

Objective 2: Demonstrating the pharmacological relevance of brain CBD concentrations following intranasal application (Experiment 3).

Study Design:

The research will be conducted through a series of well-structured experiments:

Experiment 1: Rats will be administered up to three doses of CBD in sol-gel form via nasal spray. Evaluation will be carried out at six different time points. Brain regions such as the olfactory bulb, prefrontal cortex, parietal cortex, pons, and cerebellum will be assessed, and concentrations of CBD and its metabolites will be quantified using a validated LC-MS/MS assay.

Experiment 2: A separate group of rats will receive intranasal CBD administration. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cardiac blood samples will be collected at specific time points based on the findings from Experiment 1. CBD and metabolite concentrations will be measured using validated LC-MS/MS assays.

Experiment 3: Building upon the outcomes of Experiment 1, the study will assess intranasal CBD doses that yield significant brain exposure in rat models of anxiety and chronic pain. These are two conditions in which CBD has already demonstrated preclinical efficacy.

Collaborative Efforts:

Endosane is collaborating closely with the Brain and Mind Centre of the University of Sydney. A significant breakthrough in this partnership has been the identification of anandamide as a potential blood surrogate marker for CBD's brain activity. The research team has also examined the temporal changes in serum.

PreveCeutical and Endosane dedication to research in the field of CBD delivery and pharmacology underscores its commitment to advancing medical knowledge and improving patient outcomes. The company remains focused on scientific innovation, working diligently to pave the way for novel treatments and therapies.
