POTOMAC, Md., September 21, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–India Globalization Capital, Inc. (“IGC” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: IGC) announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued a second patent (#11,446,276) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease entitled “Extreme low dose THC as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent for Alzheimer’s disease.”

The original patent application was initiated by the University of South Florida (“USF”) and filed on July 30, 2015. 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. On January 9, 2020, the patent application was modified by the Company. Separately, on July 22, 2021, IGC announced the grant of the first patent (11,065,225) for some of that research and work. This new patent is for a continuation of that work.

The Company’s subsidiary, IGC Pharma, used some of the research to develop an oral formulation, IGC-AD1. Based on the USF research on Alzheimer’s cell lines, subject to further testing and clinical trials, testing indicates that on a dose dependent manner, the active agents in IGC-AD1 may ameliorate Aß plaque and decrease ptau, a phosphorylated protein responsible for tangles in neurons. Plaques and tangles are key hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. Further, testing in an Alzheimer’s mouse model showed that it improved memory as demonstrated in a Morris Water Maze test.

Based on these promising results, we initiated a Phase 1 study on safety and tolerability and in that study discovered that IGC-AD1 at specific dosing regimens had the potential to modify agitation and other neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with Alzheimer’s dementia. Encouraged by this, our short term focus shifted to further testing IGC-AD1 as a therapeutic for treating neuropsychiatric synmptoms in Alzheimer’s, more specifically agitation. The Company recently filed a Phase 2 protocol with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for further clinical testing of the efficacy of IGC-AD1 on agitation in mild to severe Alzheimer’s.

Currently, there are no FDA approved pharmacological treatments for agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s and about 70% of Alzheimer’s patients suffer from agitation/aggressiveness. The Company is hopeful that, subject to further trials and FDA approval, IGC-AD1 can provide relief for some of the over 55 million Alzheimer’s patients worldwide.

About IGC:

IGC has two segments: Life Sciences and Infrastructure. The Company is based in Maryland, U.S.A.

Micron Waste Secures US Biotech Patent https://mjshareholders.com/micron-waste-secures-us-biotech-patent/ Thu, 17 Jan 2019 21:24:40 +0000 https://www.cannabisfn.com/?p=2186898 Company Strengthens IP Protection for Food and Cannabis Waste Processing Systems

  • Market leadership – US patent recognizes and protects Micron’s biotechnology effluent treatment process to purify wastewater for government-compliant discharge or re-use
  • Platform validation – Micron’s microbial and enzymatic waste digestion formulation has been validated in food and cannabis, and can be further modified for a wide range of bio-mass waste effluents, including those from spirits and brewing, bio-gas, food processing, pulp and paper, and biological drug manufacturing
  • Licensing – Micron reserves the right to enter into exclusive licensing agreements with appropriate partners for sale, use and/or distribution of Micron’s patented formula as a wastewater effluent treatment

VANCOUVER and DELTA, BC, Jan. 17, 2019 /CNW/ – Micron Waste Technologies Inc. (“Micron” or the “Company”) (CSE: MWM, OTC: MICWF, Frankfurt: 7FM2), a leading developer of waste treatment systems for food and cannabis waste, has been awarded a United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patent for its commercial biological waste treatment formulation. US Patent 10,144,044 secures the intellectual property on the Company’s proprietary bio-process and compositions for the treatment of waste effluent. The patent recognizes and safeguards the innovative process developed by Micron’s Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Bob Bhushan, whose research led to the development of “immobilization technology” to protect and enhance highly selective and effective microorganisms and enzymes. Dr. Bhushan’s advanced bio-process effectively allows effluent-degrading, GRAS1-certified organisms to biodegrade organics inside Micron’s patented industrial-grade Cannavore™ cannabis and food waste digester units. The immobilization process protects the live agents, which activate with increased potency and enhanced metabolic activity.

Micron Waste Chief Technology Officer Dr. Bob Bhushan (CNW Group/Micron Waste Technologies Inc.)

“This is an important and validating milestone for Micron, locking in our leadership in a new era in organic waste management,” said Micron President and CEO Alfred Wong. “Dr. Bhushan’s formula complements the efficiency of our Cannavore and food waste digesters and can be used as an additive to boost the efficiency of other waste treatment systems, increasing their ability to comply with government regulations.”

Micron’s latest patent strengthens overall intellectual property protection for its innovative waste treatments systems. In July, 2018 the Company announced it was awarded an Industrial Design Certificate of Registration from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), with US patent pending, for its commercial digester units, which employ the newly-patented bio-agents and process. The units’ innovative, functional design enhances food digestion efficiency by up to 40% while reducing the machine’s footprint and digestion time. The technology was repurposed for use in the Cannavore, with the addition of proprietary conditioning agents to denature active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in cannabis waste.

Micron’s first Cannavore is completing optimization at Aurora Cannabis Inc.’s (“Aurora”) (TSX: ACB) Mountain facility near Calgary. Subject to Micron’s technology meeting certain milestones per a collaboration agreement announced in December 2017, Aurora has committed to installing Micron’s technology at its other facilities.

The waste systems pulverize and render organic waste in combination with Micron’s live agent formula. Importantly, as part of Micron’s full-system waste treatment platform, effluent from the digester is further treated to derive clean greywater which can be re-used in growing operations or safely discharged.

The Micron Cannavore was engineered based on proven technology used by the Company in its food waste digester unit. The world’s first closed-loop cannabis waste processing system was designed to Aurora’s specifications to be a clean technology solution to process organic waste generated from the growth and cultivation of cannabis, while mitigating concerns about the potential environmental impact.

Micron’s waste management systems employ advanced computer science for remote real-time diagnostics monitoring and control. The mobile, comprehensive units – which do not emit sound or smell – are engineered to operate on-site within a 40 ft. shipping container, deployable on land or at sea, without need to truck, incinerate or landfill methane-producing waste.

Micron currently has additional Cannavore systems under construction, working with strategic partner BC Research Inc., with manufacturing completion targeted for the second quarter of 2019. Micron’s food waste system prototype is currently being upgraded with new technology developed for the Cannavore. Micron is also in the final commissioning phase of its R&D and manufacturing facility in Delta, BC.
