MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary
Recent studies concerning the therapeutic attributes of Cannabidiol (CBD) have pointed to growing evidence to suggest that it could help in the treatment of anxiety-related and other health disorders. With recent research and development aimed at identifying new therapies and treatments for various ailments, companies are focusing on improving therapies such as: India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE:IGC), INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:INSY), Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZYNE), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC:TRTC) and Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTC:CNBX).
India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE-MKT:IGC) today announces its provisional patent filing (IGC-506) for the treatment of multiple types of eating disorders by a method and combination of cannabis extracts and other compounds.

"The development of cannabis-based combination therapies represents a large, unique opportunity, and we believe we are the first mover in this emerging specialty-pharmaceutical sector. Over the past three years, we have built a strong IP portfolio and now propose to obtain funding to commence pre-clinical and clinical trials as appropriate. Securing FDA approval for combination therapies is generally much faster and less expensive than the process for new drug applications. As a result, we believe that we can bring our cannabis-based pharmaceutical products to market in both an expeditious and cost-effective manner," states Ram Mukunda, chief executive officer of IGC.
As previously reported (http://nnw.fm/e6A76 ), IGC has started a review of international medical facilities to commence preclinical and clinical trials in support of the company's patent portfolio, which includes IGC-501 for neuropathic pain; IGC-502 for the treatment of seizures; and IGC-504 for eating disorders, including cachexia.
