Gb Sciences’ innovative approach harnesses the power of plant-based treatments as simplified mixtures that target dangerous hyperinflammatory responses to viral infections.

LAS VEGAS – December 22, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Gb Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:GBLX), a leading plant-inspired, biopharmaceutical research and development company, is developing cannabis-inspired anti-inflammatory therapeutics that address Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) caused by viral infections like COVID-19 and others. Over the two pandemic years, more than 540 million people across the world contracted COVID-19 and 6.3 million died from the hyperinflammatory side effects related to this viral infection, which inspired Gb Sciences to create anti-inflammatory drugs designed to treat future viral outbreaks that elicit these dangerous hyperinflammatory responses. 

The global anti-inflammatory therapeutics market size was estimated at USD 99.6 billion in 2021, according to Precedence Research, and is expected to hit USD 127.5 billion by 2030, with a registered CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2030. Gb Sciences announced in May 2022 that FHI Clinical would consult and write the draft clinical trial protocol for a first-in-human trial of these proprietary cannabinoid-containing formulations. One key differentiator of Gb Sciences’ CRS therapeutic is the early-intervention and preventative opportunities for patients when they first discover they have been exposed to a virus that causes hyperinflammation. This therapeutic may also be useful for patients who are experiencing CRS as a side effect of certain new cancer therapeutics, such as Bispecific T-cell engaging (BiTE) single-chain antibody constructs and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells.

“Our research shows promise for the potential use of cannabinoids within cannabinoid-containing mixtures as a treatment option for hyperinflammation. There is still a need for effective treatments to combat the hyperinflammatory effects of certain viruses. Our cannabis-inspired therapeutics were designed to reset the immune system after hyperinflammation has been triggered, providing relief by targeting our human immune response to a virus, without being tied to a specific variant or the virus itself,” said Andrea Small-Howard, President and Chief Science Officer of Gb Sciences.

Gb Sciences used PhAROS™, its proprietary AI-enabled drug discovery platform, to identify these therapeutic mixtures that were designed to reduce the levels of specific cytokines and pro-inflammatory processes triggered by viruses, while preserving the immune functions and cytokines necessary to fight viral infections. Gb Sciences recently published a white paper on their novel development program titled “Utilizing Proprietary AI/ML Technology, Novel Cannabis-Inspired Mixtures Are Developed as Innovative Anti-Inflammatory Therapeutics”; download it here. 

A proof-of-concept study completed by researchers at Michigan State University in 2021 found that Gb Sciences’ proprietary cannabis-inspired minimum essential mixtures (MEM) reduced cytokine release syndrome biomarkers. Gb Sciences’ MEM, containing either two or three cannabinoids each, reduced the levels of inflammatory biomarkers more than the sum of the anti-inflammatory effects of the single ingredients tested separately. The ratios of those cannabinoid molecules within the MEM formulations also greatly influenced their anti-inflammatory potential, the study reported.

Statement by Farah K. Ahmed, President & CEO, Fragrance Creators Association (Fragrance Creators), on the inclusion of long-awaited updates to federal cosmetics law in the FY2023 omnibus appropriations bill released earlier this morning: 

“Fragrance Creators applauds the inclusion of the “Modernization of Cosmetics Regulations Act” in the FY2023 omnibus appropriations bill, and we urge Congress to approve it this week. This will create a modern cosmetics regulatory framework—including for fragrances in cosmetics products—designed to advance sound science, safety, innovation, and consumer confidence. We thank Senators Murray, Burr, Collins and Feinstein and Representatives Pallone and McMorris Rodgers and their tireless staffs for championing this legislation. While we are pleased that cosmetics regulations are now coming in-line with the needs of the 21^st century, we remain concerned that future individual state actions could negatively impact competition, limit innovation, and cause consumer confusion.  Fragrance Creators looks forward to engaging with the Food and Drug Administration to ensure a strong federal role and proper implementation of the cosmetics modernization provisions as related to fragrance.”

KlimaDAO’s advanced selective retirement tool gives users unprecedented choice over digital carbon credits used for offsetting.

SAN FRANCISCO – December 20, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

KlimaDAO, the leading provider of digital carbon credits, has today announced the launch of its advanced retirement tool for carbon offsetting. The tool gives users the option to selectively filter, choose and retire carbon credits from over 20 million tonnes of available digital carbon credits. 

The tool is now available on KlimaDAO’s app, and it allows users to specify their preferred carbon credit criteria against hundreds of unique carbon projects from across the globe. Users have the option to select credit by “technology type”, “region” and “vintage” (i.e. the year the credit was created) to quickly filter available options and inform their selection. 

In a market that is typically challenging to navigate due to poor market accessibility and limited market data, the tool gives users the ability to easily access the available options for digital carbon credits based on their priorities in just a few clicks. 

Given the permissionless nature of the KlimaDAO ecosystem, the tool enables third parties to quickly meet their own needs, or those of their clients, without having to wait for suppliers to respond to requests. 

Sy Zygy, Product Lead at KlimaDAO, said, “The advanced selective retirement feature offers our users the ability to quickly filter carbon projects according to their offsetting requirements within minutes, without needing to undertake extensive desk-based research or waiting for suppliers to fulfill their needs, which can take weeks. By giving users optionality over KlimaDAO’s entire carbon credit supply, we can enable the market to function more efficiently for the benefit of all stakeholders.”

KlimaDAO will hold the ON SET Webinar series beginning in February 2023; the series will provide an introduction to the digital carbon market and provide product demonstrations for stakeholders interested in using digital carbon tools. Follow this link to sign-up for the Webinar.
