GB Sciences' First International Patent Protecting Its Proprietary Cannabinoid-Based Formulations for Parkinson's Disease Has Been Issued in China

According to Statista, China has the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world and plant-based medicines are very well accepted, which makes China a potential target market for Gb Sciences.

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2023 / Gb Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:GBLX), a leading cannabis- and plant-inspired biopharmaceutical research and development company, has recently been issued a patent in China to protect its proprietary cannabinoid-containing formulation for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. China is an increasingly important pharmaceutical market with cultural acceptance of plant-based formulations, which is a good fit for Gb Sciences' drug candidates. Gb Sciences' first international patent also confirms that the Company's intellectual property strategy can work globally and strengthens the Company's patent portfolio. The global market for treatments of Parkinson's disease is projected to grow to $8.8 billion by the year 2026, and new therapies to address Parkinson's disease symptoms are greatly needed.

"The issuance of Gb Sciences' first international patent protecting methods of using our proprietary cannabinoid-containing formulations for treating Parkinson's disease is an important milestone in the development of these vitally important therapies. Gb Sciences' recent patent issued in China validates both our plant-inspired drug discovery process and intellectual property strategy, which involve defining and protecting Minimum Essential Mixtures," explained Dr. Andrea Small-Howard, President and Chief Science Officer of Gb Sciences, Inc. "Gb Sciences starts its drug discovery process with plant-based therapies that are working anecdotally or in traditional medical systems, then we systematically reduce the number of compounds to reveal Minimum Essential Mixtures. Gb Sciences' novel Minimum Essential Mixtures retain the increased efficacy of whole plant medicines, but they are easier to manufacture with precision at scale like single ingredient drugs. These Minimum Essential Mixtures are a viable alternative to standard single ingredient drugs or traditional whole plant medicines."

Gb Sciences' Minimum Essential Mixture-based drug development strategy does not aim to treat complex diseases as if they were caused by a single factor, but instead addresses the combination of factors that lead to a complex human disorder. Minimum Essential Mixtures (MEMs) are potentially more effective than single ingredient drugs because the different active ingredients target the multiple human processes responsible for complex diseases, such as neurodegeneration, heart disease, and cancers. As such, MEMs may offer a more holistic treatment for complex disorders such as Parkinson's disease that cannot be attributed to a single cause, while maintaining the manufacturing and quality control advantages of single ingredient drugs.

Gb Sciences' patent portfolio currently contains six issued U.S. and four issued foreign patents, as well as 15 U.S. and 49 foreign patent-pending applications that cover our novel AI-enabled drug discovery platform and proprietary plant-inspired therapies for more than 65 different disorders.
