ZYUS Life Sciences Expands Pain Management Patent Portfolio
On May 5, 2026, ZYUS Life Sciences Corporation, a clinical-stage life sciences company, announced the issuance of its second U.S. patent focused on pain management. The new patent, titled
CANNABICHROMENE FORMULATION FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT, was granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This important development reinforces ZYUS's position in the evolving field of non-opioid pain therapies.
Background of the Patent Application
The new patent stems from International Patent Application No. PCT/CA2021/050430 and marks a significant milestone in ZYUS's commitment to innovating within the pain management sector. The patent covers a unique, non-intoxicating formulation that utilizes cannabichromene (CBC) as part of an approach to manage pain effectively.
ZYUS's first U.S. patent supports its lead drug candidate,
Trichomylin® softgel capsules, which consists of a proprietary blend of cannabinoids designed to treat various kinds of pain. The latest addition to the patent portfolio aligns with their expanding pipeline of non-opioid therapies aimed at addressing chronic and neuropathic pain conditions.
