SciSparc to Support 31st Annual ICRS Symposium on Cannabinoids Special Event


TEL AVIV, Israel, May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SciSparc Ltd. (formerly known as Therapix Biosciences Ltd.) (OTCQB: SPRCY) ("SciSparc" or the "Company"), a specialty, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of cannabinoid-based treatments, today announced it will take part and support the 31st Annual International Cannabinoid Research Society Symposium on the Cannabinoids. This year the event will be held in Jerusalem, Israel on June 21-24, 2021. SciSparc will sponsor an event celebrating the groundbreaking work of cannabinoid pioneer, Prof. Raphael Mechoulam, in honor of his 90th birthday.

SciSparc's technology platforms are based on the "entourage effect" phenomenon, first discovered in 1998 by Prof. Mechoulam, who is Professor Emeritus of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Institute for Drug Research, and is globally acknowledged as the father of cannabinoid research. 

SciSparc's proprietary combinations of CannAmidetm and Cannabinoids create the entourage effect, which results in synergy. Using the entourage effect phenomenon, SciSparc is seeking to increase efficiency and lower dosage with fewer side effects. Under the Entourage Platform, the Company has developed various combination drug candidates consisting of predefined cannabinoid or a cannabis extract and CannAmidetm. Moreover, SciSparc is now developing SCI-160, a novel pharmaceutical preparation containing a CB2 receptor agonist for the treatment of pain, synthesized by Prof. Mechoulam.

The ICRS is a non-political, non-religious organization dedicated to scientific research in all fields of cannabinoids, cannabis and the endogenous cannabinoid system, with more than 650 international members, representing 50+ countries, researching the endogenous, plant-derived and synthetic cannabinoids and related bioactive lipids.
