Drug delivery platform innovator Lexaria Bioscience (CSE:
LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) this morning announced that within minutes after dosing in
an animal in vivo study, it has successfully delivered nicotine in an edible
form into blood plasma. Per the update, Lexaria’s DehydraTECH™ technology
delivered nicotine with 90.2% greater delivery than the concentration-matched
control formulation by the 10-minute mark and substantially greater absorption
levels than the control formulation at all time intervals in the study. The
company contracted a third-party laboratory to conduct the study which
concentrated on detailed analysis of absorption over a 60-minute period.
Lexaria’s in vitro laboratory, in vivo animal and human clinical absorption
studies have all demonstrated quicker and more effective delivery of substances
such as nicotine and cannabinoids. The company is continuing its focus on
progressing both its R&D and commercialization initiatives with its
DehydraTECH™ technology platform.
“Lexaria’s DehydraTECH™ breakthrough technology is
demonstrating significant effectiveness in delivering nicotine into the
bloodstream much more rapidly than we thought possible, and at levels
approaching two times more effective than controls,” Lexaria CEO Chris Bunka
stated in the news release. “If we can develop viable ingestible alternatives
to cigarette smoking we could help hundreds of millions of people avoid many of
the disease states associated with smoking and I cannot imagine a more
rewarding destiny bestowed upon Lexaria Bioscience Corp.”
