Tel Aviv, Israel / Vancouver, Canada, Feb. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Clearmind Medicine Inc. (NASDAQ: CMND) (CSE: CMND), (FSE: CWY) (“Clearmind” or “the company”), a biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced that it has filed three provisional patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), for unique combinations of future psychedelic-based compounds, as part of its ongoing collaboration with pharmaceutical company SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) (“SciSparc”), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system.
The patent applications refer to novel proprietary combinations of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), Ibogaine, and Ketamine, each with Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), the active ingredient of SciSparc’s proprietary CannAmide™.
The applications reflect Clearmind’s strategy of strengthening its IP portfolio to broaden the therapeutic psychedelic toolbox for patients with mental health disorders that require transformative medicines, and developing treatments that offer synergy, efficacy and safety while reducing cost.
“Combined with our positive preclinical data and the successful proof-of-concept for the combination of psychedelic-based molecules with SciSparc’s CannAmide, the new patent applications pave the way for us to innovate treatment options for unmet patient needs, ,” said Clearmind’s CEO Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, PhD. “We are proud to be leaders in the psychedelic industry with the most robust IP portfolio consisting of granted and pending patents. We plan to continue to be pioneers in the field of novel psychedelic compounds and treatments.”
Clearmind has a broad IP footprint in the psychedelic space, with 29 patents in 13 patent families, of which 9 have been granted in major jurisdictions like the US, Europe, China, and India.
Overall, as part of this collaboration, six other patent applications have been filed by Clearmind with the USPTO for various combinations, three of them for the combination of SciSparc’s PEA with Clearmind’s MEAI compound (5-methoxy-2-aminoindane) for the treatment of alcohol use disorder, treatment of cocaine addiction and treatment of obesity and its related metabolic disorders, and recently for novel proprietary combinations of lysergic acid diethylamide (“LSD”), psilocybin, and N,N-dimethyltryptamine (“DMT”) and SciSparc’s PEA, the active ingredient of its proprietary CannAmide™.
