"To achieve standardization in our cannabinoid-containing, optimized therapeutic mixtures, GB Sciences is moving away from using materials extracted from the cannabis plant in favor of OTM formulations incorporating identical copies of the plant cannabinoids that can be created by Purisys under current Good Manufacturing Practices," explained Dr. Andrea Small-Howard, Chief Science Officer and Director of both GB Sciences, Inc. and GBS Global Biopharma, Inc. "This strategic relationship solidifies both our immediate supply needs for preclinical studies and clinical drug prototypes, as well as future supply needs for clinical trials, scale-up and commercial manufacturing. Purisys is the global leader in providing the ultra-high purity cannabinoids needed for our standardized, cannabinoid-containing pharmaceutical products. Formed as a spin-off in 2020 and now a legal subsidiary of Noramco, Purisys has a 40-year track record of pharmaceutical API manufacturing. Purisys is well-known for their commercial scale pharmaceutical cannabinoid manufacturing technologies, IP portfolio, commercial drug master file holdership, complimented with a strong quality, regulatory and compliance track record."

GB Sciences' intellectual property portfolio contains five issued US patents and 3 issued international patents, as well as, ten US and thirty-five International patent pending applications for treatment of Parkinson's disease, pain, cytokine release syndrome, heart disease, and a variety of medical conditions using these cannabinoid-containing OTM. GB Sciences' drug development pipeline currently contains four preclinical stage programs, and GB Sciences' lead Parkinson's disease therapeutic program is being prepared for a First-in-Man clinical trial.

"We welcome the opportunity to provide pharmaceutical grade ultra-pure cannabinoid APIs to GB Sciences for their innovative pipeline of cannabinoid-containing pharmaceuticals designed to help patients," said Josh Hoerner, the General Manager of Purisys, LLC. "We are the leading provider of synthetically-derived cannabinoids to researchers and product developers looking to navigate health authority-regulated pathways to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. To that end, the cannabinoids produced by Purisys are distinguished by their ultra-high purity, backed by commercial-scale pharmaceutical supply chains, ease of formulation, and strong technical and regulatory support. Today, our cannabinoid portfolio is already broad and able to support the pharmaceutical industry. Our synthetic technology accesses both major and minor cannabinoids while also enabling us to manufacture efficiently and cost-effectively new chemical entities such as cannabinoid prodrugs and analogues for our customers."
