GB Sciences Files Provisional Patent Application to Protect Its Proprietary Drug Discovery Platform.
About this update from Gb Sciences, Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":"GBS' newest proprietary drug discovery platform uses data analytics and machine learning to gain valuable predictive insights into the likely efficacy of novel plant-derived therapeutics. This unique ability allows researchers to reduce the time and money required for novel, plant-based combination drugs to get to market. This is the intersection of hard science, plant-based medicine, and solid business practices.LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 7, 2021 / GB Sciences ("GBS"), Inc. (OTCQB:GBLX), announced today that a provisional patent application has been filed to protect their proprietary drug discovery platform, which includes a data analytics pipeline, conceptual framework, and machine learning algorithms for the predictive identification of novel active ingredients in traditional, plant-based medical preparations. GBS intends to employ the platform to address unmet therapeutic needs by identifying complex mixtures of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) derived from traditional plant-based therapeutics. GBS worked with an international collaborative team that co-authored a recent publication entitled "Medicine in Motion: opportunities, challenges and data analytics-based solutions for traditional medicine integration into Western medical practice" in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. This publication describes the initial conceptual framework for GBS' new proprietary drug discovery platform."Our new drug discovery platform uses data analytics and artificial intelligence to accelerate the identification and development of optimized mixtures of active pharmaceutical ingredients supported by traditional medicine formulations. Non-Western medical systems represent a massive reservoir of knowledge across historical and contemporary timeframes, across vast geographical distances and generations of evidence accumulation. We have, for the first time, converted that vast information set into a single computational space which can be interrogated to predict linkages between indications, formulations, and bioactive components," explained Dr. Andrea Small-Howard, Chief Science Officer and Director of both GB Sciences, Inc. and GBS Global Biopharma, Inc. "Our platform allows for rapid data analytics of the compounds in plant extracts and enables GBS to explore and validate the possible eff...
