BETHESDA, MD, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Under said agreement, Purisys will also support CNBX throughout an IND filing process, including providing all necessary and related information concerning Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) in the form of a comprehensive technical package to be presented to the FDA. APIs supplied under said agreement will be used by Company in Phase I/II (a) clinical studies that it is planning to launch in 2022.

Purisys is the leading provider of synthetically-derived cannabinoid APIs to researchers and product developers looking to navigate health authority-regulated pathways. Accordingly, we became confident that Purisys will be able to provide us with an ultra-high purity API product on the one hand, and with all the necessary regulatory and CMC related support required for our planned approach of the FDA on the other. I am pleased to report that this agreement marks an important step in the right direction for the company”.
