The prodrug of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), SBI-100 OE is a new, synthetically derived molecule that is formulated as an eye-drop using a nanoemulsion for improving the delivery of medicine into the eye.

It works by targeting the CB1 receptor that plays an important role in managing intraocular pressure, which is associated with glaucoma.

In animal studies, SBI-100 OE as a monotherapy, as well as in combination with standard of care (SOC) glaucoma drugs, demonstrated favourable results compared to SOC alone and other combinations.

Skye Bioscience retained CMAX Clinical Research to facilitate the enrolment of subjects and drug administration to healthy participants in the Phase I clinical trial of SBI-100 OE in April last year.
