VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Isodiol International Inc. (CSE:ISOL) (OTC:ISOLF) (FSE:LB6A.F) (the “Company” or “Isodiol”), a global innovator specializing in the development of pharmaceutical and wellness products, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Zenabis Ltd. (“Zenabis ”), one of Canada’s largest Licensed Producers, to import CBD isolate as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, into Canada from Isodiol’s GMP-certified production facility in the United Kingdom.

Zenabis is a Canadian biopharmaceutical company positioned to become one of the largest cannabis producers in Canada, with facilities totalling more than 400,000 square feet of cannabis production space. Zenabis intends to import a minimum of 3,000 g of such CBD isolate per month for the purposes of R&D and new product formulation.
Marcos Agramont, CEO of Isodiol, stated: “Isodiol is pleased to announce another supply agreement for its highest quality, pharma grade CBD isolate. Zenabis’s team is working on various R&D projects focused on developing new products and applications, and we are pleased to be a key partner in enabling this R&D process.”
“We are excited to move forward with this partnership,” explained Kevin Coft, CEO of Zenabis. “To have a CBD isolate accompanied by an API status sets it apart from every other global source, and we look forward to be working with Isodiol in Canada on new drug development, approved pharmaceutical applications, research, clinical studies and trials.”
Having met all requirements, Isodiol recently announced that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary BSPG Laboratories LTD. has received government approval from United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), in accordance with The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916), for the manufacturing of the active substance Cannabidiol (CBD) under certificate number: UK API 48727.
Active ingredients are the substances in drugs that are responsible for the beneficial health effects experienced by consumers. Regulating active ingredients helps to increase the quality and safety of drugs for consumers and Isodiol believes it is the first company in the industry to receive this approval for a CBD related product. To manufacture, import or distribute an active substance, organizations must comply with good manufacturing and distribution practice, where products must be of consistent high quality, appropriate to their intended use, and meet the requirements of the marketing authorisation (MA) or product specification.
Upon successful initial import and product testing, Zenabis and Isodiol intend to execute a Definitive Supply Agreement, which expects to expand the scope of the collaboration, in addition to the supply of raw isolate.
