TEL AVIV, Israel and BETHESDA, Maryland, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. CNBX, a leader in personalized cannabinoid medicine focused on cancer and its side effects, announced today that it has been granted its patent for its core technology by the South Africa Patent Office. Following the patent's approval in Israel in September 2018, this patent encompasses the systems and methods required to produce data on the interaction between different cannabinoids and cancer cells. This technology enables screening the effects of a multitude of compounds derived from the cannabis plant on cancer cell lines and biopsies. The technology will facilitate the development of more accurate cannabinoid compounds designated for specific cancers and specific genetic profile of patients, and at the same time will serve as a source for supportive data for cannabinoid-based treatments. 

"In South Africa, a recent ruling by the constitutional court made it legal for adults to cultivate and use cannabis in private in their homes, paving the way for better access to cannabinoid compositions," said Dr. Eyal Ballan, Cannabics co-founder and chief technology officer.
