(Polyrizon) for the out-licensing of its SCI-160 programme (the “Assets”) for the treatment of pain.

About SCI-160
SCI-160 is an innovative, proprietary synthetic combination of cannabinoids and N-acylethanolamines in the field of pain treatment.
Based on numerous pre-clinical studies conducted by the company, several proprietary combinations have been found to be involved in mediating analgesic effects in the peripheral nervous system without causing significant side effects in both acute and chronic pain.
SCI-160: Tolerance
Moreover, in certain studies, SCI-160 was found to be well tolerated, did not cause any significant adverse clinical effects, and had a comparable analgesic effect to high-dose morphine and, in some instances, exerted even greater potency.
While prescription opioids are effective treatments for moderate-to-severe pain, the abuse of such opioids is a significant public health issue according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Words from CEO: SciSparc
“We are pleased to finalize the License Agreement for the out-licensing of the SCI-160 program for treating pain. The License Agreement may allow us to enjoy royalties and milestones payments from the SCI-160 program, without investing additional funds in the development.” said Oz Adler, SciSparc's chief executive officer.
Oz Adler, SciSparc’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, is a member of the board of directors of Polyrizon.
