NetworkNewsWire Announces Publication Discussing Companies Seeking to Disrupt the Medical Marijuana and Alzheimer's Markets

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 2, 2017) - NetworkNewsWire ("NNW"), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company, today announces the publication of an editorial featuring India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE MKT: IGC), an NNW client positioned as a first mover in developing a portfolio of products using cannabis-based "combination therapies" for the treatment of pain and other conditions.

The publication, titled, "Leaders in Medical Marijuana and the Global Alzheimer's Markets," discusses companies responding to the increasing acceptance of medical marijuana by developing therapies to treat various diseases, such as Alzheimer's.

"Help may be on the way, though, as India Globalization Capital, Inc. (IGC) is now on the verge of bringing a potential blockbuster treatment for Alzheimer's to market as soon as early 2018 (http://nnw.fm/8pkAv). Through a license agreement with the University of South Florida (http://nnw.fm/Ny7N0), IGC is the exclusive licensee of the U.S. patent filing "THC as a Potential Therapeutic Agent for Alzheimer's Disease," putting the company on track with a unique advantage in the global Alzheimer's drug market, which is currently valued at roughly $3.6 billion (http://nnw.fm/b6AVl).

"Novel in vitro data (http://nnw.fm/wvwX7) aggregated by IGC using genetically engineered cell lines add substantial weight to the existing argument about low doses of THC addressing the link between amyloid beta peptide (Aβ plaque) buildup in the cerebral cortex/hippocampus and Alzheimer's (http://nnw.fm/lnxQ1). Given that the dominant therapies for Alzheimer's cannot stop or reverse disease progression, the mounting evidence that THC and CBD can stop or even reverse the symptoms of this disease (while providing neuroprotective benefits) is huge (http://nnw.fm/f8RVr).

"This readily commercialized combination therapy could give IGC significant, immediate ground game in this burgeoning retail space and help support the company's clinical work. This one-two punch approach, with a food supplement in one hand and an FDA prophylactic/therapeutic indication in the other, is as powerful as it is solidly backed by exclusively-licensed IP."
