Biosciences Announces Publication of Four Patent Applications for Psychedelic-Inspired Drug Candidates
Applications Aim to Expand Opportunities for Novel Therapeutics to Address a Broad Range of Psychiatric and Neurological Disorders
Fla., March 15, 2022 - Enveric Biosciences
Inc. (NASDAQ: ENVB) ("Enveric" or the "Company"), a neuroscience-focused
biotechnology company developing next-generation, psychedelic-inspired mental health medicines, today announced that the
Company's first four Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications for the tryptamine family of novel molecules have been
published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Additional PCT patent applications are expected to publish over
represents the core structural motif for numerous intriguing therapeutically active agents such as the classic psychedelic molecules
N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), psilocybin, psilocin, and 5-MeO-DMT. Many of these molecules are being investigated worldwide as potential
treatments for a broad range of psychiatric and neurologic disorders, including mood and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder,
cancer-related distress and more,1,2" said Bob Dagher, MD, Enveric's Chief Medical Officer. "These patent
applications aim to protect Enveric's assets of new drug candidates and place our discovery engine at the forefront of bringing
forward innovative psychiatric and neurologic therapeutics of the future."
is a classic psychedelic molecule that binds to and activates serotonin and other receptors in the brain.1,2 The tryptamine
class includes psilocybin, psilocin, and dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which are naturally occurring psychedelics that are currently under
intense study for therapeutic applications.1 Based on recent and emerging data, the Company believes this class of molecules
may have the potential to produce rapid, profound, and long-lasting benefits for a broad range of indications.
published PCT patent applications protecting Enveric's novel tryptamine-derived molecules, as well as the respective Written Opinion
of the International Searching Authority for each application, are available for review on the WIPO website.
