GB Sciences’ First International Patent Protecting Its Proprietary Cannabinoid-Based Formulations for Parkinson’s Disease Has Been Issued in China
LAS VEGAS, March 20, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Gb Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:GBLX), a leading cannabis- and plant-inspired biopharmaceutical research and development company, has recently been issued a patent in China to protect its proprietary cannabinoid-containing formulation for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. China is an increasingly important pharmaceutical market with cultural acceptance of plant-based formulations, which is a good fit for Gb Sciences' drug candidates. Gb Sciences' first international patent also confirms that the Company's intellectual property strategy can work globally and strengthens the Company's patent portfolio. The global market for treatments of Parkinson's disease is projected to grow to $8.8 billion by the year 2026, and new therapies to address Parkinson's disease symptoms are greatly needed.
"The issuance of Gb Sciences' first international patent protecting methods of using our proprietary cannabinoid-containing formulations for treating Parkinson's disease is an important milestone in the development of these vitally important therapies. Gb Sciences' recent patent issued in China validates both our plant-inspired drug discovery process and intellectual property strategy, which involve defining and protecting Minimum Essential Mixtures," explained Dr. Andrea Small-Howard, President and Chief Science Officer of Gb Sciences, Inc. "Gb Sciences starts its drug discovery process with plant-based therapies that are working anecdotally or in traditional medical systems, then we systematically reduce the number of compounds to reveal Minimum Essential Mixtures. Gb Sciences' novel Minimum Essential Mixtures retain the increased efficacy of whole plant medicines, but they are easier to manufacture with precision at scale like single ingredient drugs. These Minimum Essential Mixtures are a viable alternative to standard single ingredient drugs or traditional whole plant medicines."
Gb Sciences' Minimum Essential Mixture-based drug development strategy does not aim to treat complex diseases as if they were caused by a single factor, but instead addresses the combination of factors that lead to a complex human disorder. Minimum Essential Mixtures (MEMs) are potentially more effective than single ingredient drugs because the different active ingredients target the multiple human processes responsible for complex diseases, such as neurodegeneration, heart disease, and cancers. As such, MEMs may offer a more holistic treatment for complex disorders such as Parkinson's disease that cannot be attributed to a single cause, while maintaining the manufacturing and quality control advantages of single ingredient drugs.
Gb Sciences' patent portfolio currently contains six issued U.S. and four issued foreign patents, as well as 15 U.S. and 49 foreign patent-pending applications that cover our novel AI-enabled drug discovery platform and proprietary plant-inspired therapies for more than 65 different disorders.

AdvisorVault Partners With Compliant Workspace to Help FINRA Firms Achieve 17a-4 Compliance on Microsoft 365
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 16, 2023 (Newswire.com) - AdvisorVault, the experts in 17a-4 data archiving, partners with Compliant Workspace to help FINRA firms get on Microsoft 365.
Today, many FINRA firms want to move their operations to the Microsoft 365 Cloud but are worried how compliant they will be, specifically with rule 17a-4 and its email and data retention demands. They also need to meet FINRA's cybersecurity requirements. Compliant Workspace is a perfect fit for them with its fully secured, fully protected solution out-of-the-box - AdvisorVault is happy to partner with them.
Microsoft 365 makes sense for FINRA firms, especially for smaller firms since it is a complete platform that gives employees everything needed to do their jobs. While it is a remarkable piece of technology, by default most cloud services are not 17a-4 compliant and won't be able to provide the FINRA letters that your firm will need. So a special kind of D3P cloud provider is required; one that understands the unique compliance demands of firms such as broker-dealers.
"We designed Compliant Workspace specifically for companies needing a higher level of security and protection in the cloud; our Consolidated 365 Service has built-in features making FINRA firms immediately 17a-4 compliant when they migrate their office to Microsoft 365 with us. We are excited to partner with AdvisorVault," says Patrick Lonz, President of Compliant Workspace.
About Compliant Workspace
Compliant Workspace is a leading Microsoft 365 provider giving firms a streamlined option to get onto the Microsoft Cloud. Their unique Consolidated 365 Service® includes everything they need to be compliant, right from the get-go.
About AdvisorVault
AdvisorVault is the only FINRA D3P giving small firms everything they need to meet rule 17a-4. Our turn-key solution archives, retains, and provides supervision of electronic records stored in-house or in the cloud.
