DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MedPharm Research, a leading cannabis researcher, announced today that the company\u2019s proposal, which was submitted to the FY23 Cannabis Research Opportunity at the Colorado State University Institute of Cannabis Research (ICR), titled \u201cIsolation and Pharmacological Evaluation of Phytocannabinoids for Alzheimer\u2019s Disease,\u201d has been selected for funding.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nScoring of the proposal was organized into six categories: significance, approach, broader impacts, environment, data analysis, and environment. Reviewers from the ICR review panel applauded the novelty of the project, the training needed for a scientific intern, and how well the proposal defines the metric of evaluation for each data analysis aim. They concluded that the likelihood of the project to succeed is high, adding that minor cannabinoids is an area where more research is needed.\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to the Center for Disease Control, Alzheimer\u2019s disease and related dementias are projected to grow to 13.9 million, nearly 3.3 percent of the population in 2060. Brains of people with Alzheimer\u2019s show neurodegeneration and high levels of oxidative stress and inflammation. \u201cThe study results will allow MedPharm to further develop innovative, bioavailable, and bioequivalent dosage forms. These are important elements in support of Investigational New Drugs (INDs) and New Drug Applications (NDAs) for future FDA-approved products,\u201d\u00a0says Scott Karolchyk, MS, RPh, Director of Formulation and Development. The phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) has neuroprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Other studies have shown that CBD has been shown to be effective in vivo, making the phytocannabinoid an interesting candidate for novel therapeutic interventions in Alzheimer\u2019s therapy, especially because there are no psychoactive or cognition-impairing properties, thus adding to the significance of the MedPharm study.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt\u2019s by pursuing this one-of-a-kind study in an area where research is really needed that sets MedPharm apart from other cannabis research and development companies,\u201d Albert Gutierrez, President of MedPharm, says. \u201cAlzheimer\u2019s is a terrible brain disease. Any way we can provide therapies to help treat it, such as doing a pharmacological evaluation to find out what a certain compound can do, we know helps us close in on a better understanding of Alzheimer\u2019s, and perhaps a pathway to greater and more helpful cannabis-based therapies down the road.\u201d Anticipated start date of the project is October 1, 2022.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe announcement comes just as national Alzheimer\u2019s researchers and health appropriations legislators seek significant sources of additional funding. In June, the House Appropriations Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS) Appropriations subcommittee proposed a $200 million increase in Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia research funding at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and $30 million to implement the bipartisan Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act at the CDC for fiscal year 2023.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis is a big win for not only our team, but the entire cannabinoid research community,\u201d says Director of Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics, Duncan Mackie, Ph.D. \u201cThe completion of this project will provide the first clear mechanistic and cellular evidence for the application of cannabis and cannabinoid-based natural products for the treatment of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, and other neuroinflammatory diseases.\u201d The selection by the ICR, according to Gutierrez, demonstrates once again that MedPharm can repeatedly tap into the cutting-edge work of its cannabis researchers and chemists to find out more about the \u201cWhat, Why and How?\u201d behind cannabis compounds and their medicinal effects on the human body. \u201cHelping people live better, happier, and more productive lives has always been the focus of MedPharm,\u201d says Gutierrez.\n<\/p>\n
