Herzliya, Israel and Calgary, Alberta - Innocan Pharma Corporation (CSE: INNO) (FSE: IP4) (OTCQB: INNPF) (the 'Company' or 'Innocan'), is pleased to announce that a new patent application has been filed for Innocan's CBD Delivery System Technology, alongside the existing LTP (CBD Loaded Liposomes) and CLX (CBD Loaded Exosomes). The new patent application discloses a unique and novel delivery system allowing the controlled release of CBD into the blood stream with improved pharmacokinetic (PK) performance.

This patent application is a significant milestone in the research conducted in collaboration with the Hebrew University, that indicates the potential of the Company's technological ability to deliver cannabinoids to the blood stream in precise and effective administration.

Prolonged and controlled release of Cannabidiol (CBD) from Innocan's novel Delivery System injected subcutaneously, showed continuous clinically relevant concentrations of CBD in the blood for a long time. The Company believes this is considered a good predictor to the expected CBD exposure in humans.

The Company believes that the continuous exposure to CBD in blood for a longer time post local administration, seems to be superior to orally administered CBD in two aspects: (a) it will all allow a single administration of CBD instead of daily administration; and (b) it will overcome the low (10-20%) oral bioavailability of CBD. The superior PK of the CBD Delivery System administered, may achieve controlled concentration of CBD in the blood leading to a better clinical outcome.

Prof. Chezy Barenholz of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem said, 'The filing of this PCT is an additional step towards our R&D scientific achievement.' Barenholz added, 'We are proud to enable the cutting-edge solutions that may serve as the foundation to CBD Pharma in the future.'

'The publication of the PCT patent applications reaffirms the novelty of our approach and advantage,' said Iris Bincovich, CEO of Innocan, and added, 'We continue to test on this patent-pending CBD Delivery System to further validate its superior efficacy and safety profile.'

Innocan's relationship with The Hebrew University

Innocan Pharma Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a worldwide exclusive research and license agreement with Yissum Research and Development Company ('Yissum'), the commercial arm of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with respect to the design, preparation, characterization, and evaluation of hydrogels containing CBD (or other cannabinoids) loaded liposomes. The research and development initiative are led by Professor Chezy Barenholz, head of the Membrane and Liposome Research Laboratory at The Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School which is the inventor of over fifty-five patent families, two of which underlie Doxil, a liposome based the first FDA-approved nano-drug for ovarian and other cancers' treatment, used globally. Innocan's novel and unique platform technology for slow and controlled release of CBD may have a wide range of applications, such as epilepsy, pain relief, inflammation, and central nervous system disorders. A patent application was filed covering this technology on September 30, 2021.

About Innocan

Innocan, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innocan Pharma Ltd. ('Innocan Israel') is a pharmaceutical tech company that focuses on the development of several drug delivery platforms containing CBD. Innocan Israel and Ramot at Tel Aviv University are collaborating on a new, revolutionary exosome-based technology that targets both central nervous system (CNS) indications and the Covid-19 Corona Virus using CBD. CBD-loaded exosomes hold the potential to help in the recovery of infected lung cells. This product, which is expected to be administered by inhalation, will be tested against a variety of lung infections.

Innocan Israel signed a worldwide exclusive license agreement with Yissum, the commercial arm of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, to develop a CBD drug delivery platform based on a unique-and novel controlled slow-release technologies to be administered by injection. Innocan Israel plans, together with Professor Barenholz, to test both the above novel platform and the previously developed liposome platform (PCT filed on October 01, 2020) on several potential conditions. Innocan Israel is also working on a dermal product that integrates CBD with other pharmaceutical ingredients as well as the development and sale of CBD-integrated pharmaceuticals, including, but not limited to, topical treatments for the relief of psoriasis symptoms as well as the treatment of muscle pain and rheumatic pain. The founders and officers of Innocan Israel each have commercially successful track records in the pharmaceutical and technology sectors in Israel and globally.
