CURE Pharmaceutical Expands Distribution of

CUREfilm Technology with First Licensing Agreement

 

CURE grants cannabis leader rights to its proprietary drug delivery technology in markets around the world

 

LOS ANGELES – September 5, 2018 - CURE Pharmaceutical (OTC: CURR), (“CURE”), an innovative drug delivery and development company, today announced that it entered into a multi-year licensing agreement for the first time with a leading international cannabis company. Under the terms of the agreement, the cannabis company will have an exclusive license to CURE’s patented, multi-layer oral thin film (OTF), CUREfilm™ technology for use with cannabis extracts and biosynthetic cannabinoids in markets around the world. The parties will collaborate on new products and indications.

 

“Whole plant extracted, biosynthesized and synthetic cannabinoids all hold therapeutic promise for given indications and intended uses,” said Rob Davidson, CEO and Chairman of CURE Pharmaceutical. “At CURE, we focus on synthetic cannabinoids for CUREfilm products, but with our new licensing business model, we will expand the impact and applications of our technology to these other promising approaches by partnering with an industry leader in this market.”

 

CURE will enable the manufacturing of CUREfilms that deliver cannabis extracts, expanding the commercialization and monetization of CUREfilm technology. CURE retains the right to manufacture synthetic cannabinoids for pharmaceutical applications.

 

The CUREfilm license gives the cannabis company a dosage form that is ideal for the delivery of cannabinoids. It offers increased bioavailability, ease and precision of dosing and greater palatability. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in plants, such as cannabis (phytocannabinoids), synthesized by cells of the human body (endocannabinoids) or synthesized in a laboratory (biosynthetic cannabinoids) that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is recognized as an important modulatory system in the function of the brain, endocrine and immune tissues.
