Bionorica has sold C³ to Canopy Growth
Bionorica has sold its cannabis business, C³ (Cannabinoid Compound Company), to Canopy Growth Corporation, a world-leading diversified cannabis and hemp company based in Smiths Falls, Canada. The selling price amounts to Euro 225.9 million. The strategic goal is to quickly and consistently develop and expand the international markets to meet the needs of a steadily growing number of patients. Bionorica will support Canopy Growth in this regard in future. Both parties see great opportunities in the further clinical research of the cannabis plant and its constituents. To this end, Bionorica SE and Canopy Growth have agreed to collaborate in long-term research.
The product portfolio comprises API & compounding kits for Dronabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD) as well as other cannabinoid synthesis products for mainly pharmaceutical or analytical applications. Key therapeutic areas are pain and palliative treatment, oncology and neurology addressing a broad spectrum of chronic and severe illnesses.
C³ was founded in 2014 by Bionorica SE, one of the world’s leading producers of herbal medicines, as a holding company for the companies Bionorica ethics and THC Pharm. Both Bionorica ethics and THC Pharm have for almost two decades been researching and developing the key therapeutic ingredients of the cannabis flower: tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol. Under the umbrella of C³, research, production and marketing have been pooled and optimized.
