AGRITHERA

AgriThera is a pharmaceutical start-up that brings cannabinoid therapeutics for chronic pain, anxiety, and seizure disorders to market. The company is developing novel prodrugs that address the deficiencies in earlier applications of CBD. Their prodrugs improve pharmacokinetics and alter distribution in favor of brain penetration, bringing out the therapeutic properties of CBD in increasingly efficacious drugs. Because CBD is an FDA-approved compound, drugs derived from it have a somewhat faster path to market.
