InvestorNewsBreaks – 180 Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ: ATNF) Selects Lead Synthetic CBD Analogue

180 Life Sciences (NASDAQ: ATNF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel drugs that fulfill unmet needs in inflammatory diseases, fibrosis and pain, today announced that it has selected a lead synthetic CBD analogue that is expected to move forward in clinical development for both inflammation and pain. According to the update, Sir Marc Feldmann’s (the company’s co-executive chairman and co-founder) laboratory, and 180 Life Sciences’ scientists, as part of a continuing collaboration since 1998 with the pioneer of cannabis chemistry, Raphi Mechoulam (Hebrew University, Jerusalem), identified the non-psychoactive CBD analogue as a lead molecule in the company’s SCA platform. The analog was selected based on a wide-ranging screen of derivatives of cannabidiol and cannabigerol made by Professor Mechoulam. “We believe that our lead compound HUM-217, a CBD derivative generated by cannabis chemistry pioneer Prof Raphael Mechoulam, meets all the criteria desirable to advance to clinical development,” said Dr. James Woody, 180 Life Sciences’ CEO. “We look forward to continuing to pursue new therapeutics for one of the world’s largest drivers of disease, inflammation.”
