DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nexien BioPharma, Inc. (“Nexien” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: NXEN), a next generation biopharmaceutical company focused on research, development and commercialization of novel FDA-compliant cannabinoid pharmaceuticals and related drug delivery systems, today announced that it was granted Patent No. 238946 for “Use of Cannabinoids and Terpenes for Treatment of Organophosphate and Carbamate Toxicity” by the Israeli Patent Office.
