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.

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.”
