Publication of article about CBD for endometriosis in Leading Journal

Ananda Developments plc (AQSE: ANA), a Company focused on the development of CBD based therapies for the treatment of a range of complex inflammatory conditions, is pleased to announce the publication of an article entitled 'Endometriosis: cannabidiol therapy for symptom relief' in Trends in Pharmacological Science (TIPS). TIPS is a monthly peer-reviewed journal and is ranked in the top 2% of scientific journals worldwide.

'Endometriosis: cannabidiol therapy for symptom relief', authored by Dr Lucy Whitaker and Professors Andrew Horne and Philippa Saunders of the University of Edinburgh and Professor Clive Page and Charles Morgan of Ananda, highlights that cannabidiol (CBD) is a promising therapeutic agent for endometriosis because it has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-angiogenic, antiproliferative, and neuroprotective effects. It summarises data from patient samples and animal models focussed on the pathophysiology of endometriosis, including pathways where CBD has activity, and considers the available formulations of CBD-containing products, their pharmacokinetics (PK), and their use in ongoing clinical trials in endometriosis and other pain conditions.

Charles Morgan, Chairman, said: 'The potential of CBD as a safe, efficacious and cost-effective treatment for the symptoms of endometriosis is compelling, and we are encouraged by this recognition in the publication of this review of the data in such a prestigious journal as Trends in Pharmacological Science. We look forward to working with investigators at the University of Edinburgh as they test this hypothesis in the upcoming ENDOCAN clinical trial.

Our involvement with this research is part of Ananda's commitment to developing a licensed CBD-based medicine, available on the NHS, for the treatment of the symptoms of endometriosis, a condition which affects 10% of women globally.'
