IGC Announces Issuance of Patent for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease Using THC

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE American: IGC) announced today that on July 20, 2021, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued a patent (#11,065,225) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease entitled “Ultra-Low dose THC as a potential therapeutic and prophylactic agent for Alzheimer’s Disease.”

The original patent application was initiated by the University of South Florida (“USF”) and filed on August 1, 2016. On May 25, 2017, IGC entered into an exclusive license agreement with USF with respect to the patent application and the associated research conducted on Alzheimer’s disease.

The granted patent relates to IGC’s proprietary formulation intended to assist in the treatment of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease. IGC’s proprietary formulation, IGC-AD1, is the subject of the Company’s previously-disclosed Phase 1 clinical trial. The Company recently announced the completion of Cohort 3 in its placebo-controlled Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) phase 1 trial for establishing safety and tolerability of IGC-AD1 that uses THC on patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
