SEATTLE, WA and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 14, 2020 / Pascal Biosciences Inc. (TSXV:PAS, Financial)(OTC PINK:BIMUF) ("Pascal" or the "Company") today announced the Company has discovered certain cannabinoids that block replication of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. In a cell-based assay, the best cannabinoid had potency similar to remdesivir, a recently approved drug from Gilead that improves recovery time for COVID-19 patients. This suggests a Pascal-identified cannabinoid may have the potential to limit the severity and progression of the disease.
