Neuropathix, Inc. Reveals Visual Identity to Coincide With Its Mission for Socially Responsible Pain Management

DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Neuropathix, Inc. (“Neuropathix” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: NPTX), formerly Kannalife, Inc., is a socially responsible pain management life sciences company. For the past ten years, Neuropathix has discovered, developed and patented a global intellectual property estate of novel new monotherapeutic agents designed to prevent and reverse neuropathic pain, reduce oxidative stress, and act as anti-inflammatory neuroprotectants.

Coinciding with its new brand identity and name change, the Company has updated its logo and visual identity to reflect the Company’s extensive life sciences research in cannabinoid therapeutics, drug discovery and current goal of bringing much-needed potent, non-opioid alternatives for the treatment of chronic and neuropathic pain to market.

As a part of this rebranding, the Kannalife brand name, Kannalife, Inc., and Kannalife Sciences, Inc. will remain as subsidiaries of Neuropathix.

“One of our biggest challenges in the past ten years has been in dealing with the disconnect from the markets in terms of corporate identity. When we started out as a cannabinoid therapeutics drug discovery company in 2010, we set out to try and find a place and potential for cannabinoid therapeutics like CBD as a pharmaceutical API for use in the clinic. That discipline as a pharmaceutical company has never changed and remains true to this day. Neuropathix embodies our life sciences achievements and perfectly describes our corporate mission and our goal to bring pharmaceutical grade medicines for neurodegenerative and oxidative stress-related diseases,” said Dean Petkanas, CEO of Neuropathix.

Neuropathix is a well-known pioneer in cannabinoid-like therapeutics. The Company has been consistently covered by global news over the last decade. Additionally, its scientific findings have been published in several highly respected peer reviewed journals such as the American Chemical Society Medicinal Chemistry Letters and the Journal of Molecular Neuroscience.

This Company’s spotlight on potent, non-opioid alternatives for the treatment of neuropathic pain can be seen in its phase 1 NIH study grant completed in late 2019. That preclinical study confirmed the ability of KLS-13019 to prevent and reverse neuropathic pain in animal models and stands as a strong candidate as a potential treatment for neuropathic pain and the reduction of the use of opioids.

To coincide with this rebranding, the Company will be releasing a new corporate website at www.neuropathix.com.

About Neuropathix

Neuropathix, Inc., formerly Kannalife, Inc. (“Neuropathix”), is a socially responsible pain management life sciences company focused on the development of proprietary and patented novel, monotherapeutic molecules for patients suffering from neurodegenerative and oxidative stress related diseases. The Company’s leading drug candidate KLS-13019, a non-opioid solution for chronic and neuropathic pain, has shown promise in pre-clinical studies to prevent and reverse neuropathic pain in the model to treat chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). In addition to CIPN studies, the Company’s early research also focused on neuroprotection in the model for overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE), a neurotoxic brain-liver disorder caused by excessive concentrations of ammonia and ethanol in the brain.

Since 2010, Neuropathix has discovered, developed and patented a global intellectual property estate of novel new therapeutic agents designed to prevent and reverse neuropathic pain, reduce oxidative stress, and act as anti-inflammatory neuroprotectants.

Neuropathix was the only company to hold an exclusive license with National Institutes of Health – Office of Technology Transfer (“NIH-OTT”) for the Commercialization of U.S. Patent #6630507, “Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants” (the “‘507 Patent”).

Atopidine™ is Neuropathix novel, patented small molecule that has been shown to have protective and anti-inflammatory properties in pre-clinical testing. The same studies show that it has also outperformed cannabidiol (CBD) in preventing inflammatory responses relevant to UVB-radiation, including cytokines, TNF-a, IL-1b, and IL-6.


KLS-13019
is Neuropathix leading patented, investigational, novel, monotherapeutic product for the potential treatment of a range of neurodegenerative and neuropathic pain disorders, beginning with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Neither KLS-13019 or Atopidine™ have been reviewed or approved for patient use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other healthcare authority in the world. Their safety and efficacy have not been confirmed by FDA-approved research.

The Company’s KLS Family of proprietary molecules focuses on treating oxidative stress-related diseases such as overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE), chronic pain from neuropathies like CIPN, and neurodegenerative diseases like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Neuropathix conducts its research and development efforts at the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center of Bucks County in Doylestown, PA.

ASPEN ARCHITECTURE FIRM GARNERS MOUNTAIN LIVING’S “HOME OF THE YEAR” AWARD

Collaboration with four other firms was a key to success for Poss Architecture.Mountain Living, a leading home design magazine in the Western U.S., sponsored the 26th annual competition.

Aspen, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aspen, Colorado…Collaboration among design professionals was a key to Poss Architecture of Aspen and Carbondale, CO being awarded Mountain Living magazine’s 2020 “Home of the Year.”  Poss, the lead designer and master collaborator for this Deer Valley, Utah home, teamed up with four other firms on the design and construction to create a process that the homeowner called, “a veritable masterpiece of design collaboration.”

Other team members included WRJ Interior Design from Jackson Hole, WY; Soho Design Studio Landscape Architecture from Aspen, CO; Robert Singer and Associates design consultants and lighting specialists from ­­­­­­­Aspen, CO; and Gallo Builders from ­­­­­­Laguna Beach, CA.

A presentation to the homeowner of the early, conceptual design ideas by Poss principal, lead designer and project manager, Keith Howie, and founder Bill Poss, gave them the edge over their competition and earned them praise.  The homeowner described their design as “timeless,” and said, “Their presentation astounded us.”

Built into a slope, this elegant Deer Valley home was imagined as a series of pavilions that frame views to Park City and the Jordanelle Reservoir below. Every aspect of the home was designed to connect with nature. WRJ owners Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer worked hand-in-hand with their design team and with Howie of Poss Architecture to select the materials and finishes throughout. The interior colors were informed by nature and the surrounding environment.

 The home connects seamlessly with its vast, surrounding, natural world. Moveable glass walls everywhere encourage indoor-outdoor living, and spaces are arranged to provide direct access to the sloping site. Landscape architect Nick Soho notes, “The landscape flows like water through the architecture.” Howie says the intent of the residence was not only about linking with nature, but also about “providing spaces that work for the way the family wants to live.”

Featuring one- and two-story chiseled Indiana limestone pavilions, its main public areas boast soaring ceilings overlooking the 25-yard-long infinity swimming pool.  To ensure story continuity, the landscape architect and the interior designer repeated many of the exterior materials. The basalt stone hardscaping, cedar rain screen and limestone walls flow into the front foyer, enhancing the connection between indoors and out. The same stone defines the fireplace in the double-height great room, juxtaposing the wood ceilings with the imported oak flooring—the result of a close collaboration among all parties involved. 

As a symbol of success of the flow between the natural and created worlds, moose and deer routinely drink from the lap pool!

Competition for Mountain Living magazine’s 26-year-old tradition includes submissions from architects, interior designers and landscape architects from multiple mountain communities throughout the western U.S.  “As one of our most popular issues, the “Home of the Year” represents the epitome of home design for a specific year,” says Mountain Living Editor in Chief Darla Worden. Every year since 1994, the magazine has sought out “the best in mountain homes” to honor in this annual tradition. 


Over the course of the past 44 years, Poss Architecture has created over 350 projects in 15 states plus British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Alberta, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
