Vitality Biopharma Inc. (OTCQB: VBIO) announced the company had recreated a library of proprietary glycosides of THC, the main psychoactive chemical found in cannabis or marijuana, which enable targeted delivery that reduces or eliminates psychoactivity when used in oral drug formulations.

Recently, the company gained DEA approval for its research and development facilities located in California, and it has now completed preclinical pharmacokinetics studies with its proprietary THC glycosides to analyze their bioavailability. The Company has confirmed that large concentrations can be delivered orally without significant transit of THC to the brain, enabling their formulation within pharmaceuticals where drug psychoactivity will be reduced or eliminated.
