Furthermore, the company will utilise Diverse Biotech scientists and formulators to help synthesise and validate these drugs during pre-clinical and clinical activities.

Enveric Biosciences chairman and CEO David Johnson said: “This is an exclusive, novel way of bringing together CBD and well-known, existing compounds that hold promise to create a new, improved drug class.

“With its anti-inflammatory properties, CBD holds so much potential to help these patients, especially since status-quo treatments are not an adequate solution.

“We are confident that, with this impressive team of experts and Diverse Biotech’s conjugate technology platform, this relationship can help us to expand our potential treatment options for cancer patients who continue to suffer around the globe.”
