EHP-102, also known as VCE-003.2, is a cannabinoid CB2 receptor agonist and PPARγ agonist which is under development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.[1][2][3][4] It is taken orally.[1] The drug is a derivative of cannabigerol (CBG).[4] It is under development by Emerald Health Sciences.[1][2][3] As of February 2024, it is in the preclinical research stage of development for both Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, but no recent development has been reported for Huntington's disease.[1][2][3]
