EARC #888, #EndAlz & #HealTheWorld

Earlier this year, we at Canurta Inc. made the decision to enter Web3 publicly. The movement towards the real world value of blockchain technology and NFTs took the market by storm. By adopting a Web3 and blockchain focused strategy, we reaffirmed our confidence in overcoming the perceived “lack-of-focus” associated with biotech start-ups through decentralized and transparent advancements. Ever since that decision, we’ve been extremely impressed by everything we’ve learned, seen, and felt in connecting with multiple communities that have visions and goals of creating and delivering IRL impact to their internal collectors but to the world as well.

Attracted by the community, the apes, the roadmap but also their mission to support Alzheimer’s research, I, as an enterprising CEO, eagerly joined the Elderly Apes Retirement Club (EARC) where, as a budding biotech with novel molecules that hold neuroprotective qualities, knew we could add value.

On April 14th, 2022 the EARC will run a donation matching campaign with the American Alzheimer’s Society with the goal of giving away $100,000.00 to help #EndAlz. Today, we also want to share, that on behalf of the community, and Elderly Ape #888, our company will be pledging to investigate our novel hemp flavonoids and their potential as a neuroprotective agent to aid in the global fight to #EndAlz, whether as a natural supplement or drug.

#EARC 888 Aims to be the most impactful Peer-Reviewed NFT in Web3 by investigating novel molecules that have potential to #EndAlz and provide other neuroprotective qualities.

A brief summary of why we’re excited about our flavonoids and Alzheimer’s:

We know that cannabis comprises an exclusive subset of prenylated flavonoids, the cannflavins (1). Based on peer-reviewed articles, we also know that cannflavins exhibit potent anti-inflammatory activity (2), and has a novel neuroprotective and anti-aggregatory effect relevant to Alzheimer’s disease (1). Furthermore, Shishtar et al. 2020 findings specified that a high flavonoid intake was associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's and related dementias (3).

For the first time, there is a promising pathway towards making these novel compounds readily available on the market in their purity for humans, and our company, in association with our growing network of research partners at Canadian Universities and Research Colleges will be funding and supporting Alzheimer's preclinical trials, and publishing our findings on-chain and in academic journals, with acknowledgements to the community on behalf of EARC #888.

Our goal, by the time it's said and done, is to make this one of the most impactful peer-reviewed research articles to be submitted by an NFT #LFG 🚀

Looking forward to the world we have to do.

Together we will #HealTheWorld.
