Apurano Pharmaceuticals GmbH

Private pharmaceutical company based in Warngau, Bavaria, Germany, built around the patented PuranoTec bio-nanotechnology process that converts poorly soluble actives into aqueous nanodispersions (particles <250 nm) for sublingual spray delivery. Lead asset is AP707 (adezunap), a THC-based cannabis flower nanodispersion in Phase 3 for chronic pain; a second cannabinoid candidate, beleronap, is in earlier development for psychiatric illnesses. CannaXan GmbH, the affiliate that ran the Phase 1 program, merged into Apurano Pharmaceuticals GmbH on 2023-01-26.
