Forbes: natural active ingredient against Covid-19
Researchers from Oregon State University have found that ingredients of cannabis prevent from infection with the virus that causes Covid-19 by blocking its entry into cells, according to a study. The researchers found that cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic acid can bind to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. "Orally bioavailable and with a long history of safe human use, these cannabinoids, isolated or in hemp extracts, have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2,," the researchers wrote in their summary of the study.
Researchers at the biotech company Cardiol Therapeutics are also betting on the effects of cannabis' natural ingredients for heart disease. The prospects for success seem compelling, as the company successfully completed a USD 50 million financing in November 2021. The stock market value was most recently CAD 131 million, far from the billion-dollar valuations of BioNTech, Novavax and Valneva. The experts at GBC Research recommend the share as a buy and name a price target of CAD 17.49. At a price of EUR 1.55, the share is currently up 4.03% and has a high price potential based on the analysts' opinion.
