Our Science

We want to help people living with debilitating conditions by developing non-addictive pain medications to reliance on opioids.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS), a key biological system in the human body, plays an important role in maintaining the balance between our physical and mental health including regulating pain, mood, memory, sleep, appetite, and the immune response to cancer.  

Our aim at OCT is aligned with doctors and regulators who want to see, through scientific studies, that cannabinoids can be effective in restoring this physiological balance when it is disrupted by disease.   

At OCT, we are focused on 3 types of cannabinoids:  synthezised phytocannabinoids (pCBs), cannabinoid derivatives and novel chemical entities (NCEs) which are not cannabinoids but behave like them.
