The Los Angeles-based pharmaceutical development corporation Vitality Biopharma announced an expansion of its glycoside prodrug intellectual property portfolio.
Here's what you need to know:
1. Vitality Biopharma develops cannabinoid prodrug pharmaceuticals, used for the treatment of neurological and inflammatory disorders.
2. The corporation recently announced that it has expanded its portfolio through filing another patent application, expanding upon two previous patent applications from late 2015.
3. The new patent filing includes vanilloids, which provide pain relief through targeting the TRPV1 receptor. This receptor may play a role in visceral or abdominal pain — like inflammatory bowel disease.
4. Vitality Biopharma's current intellectual property portfolio includes pharmaceutical prodrugs of major phytocannabinoids and endocannabinoids.
