company focused on developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drug candidates for diseases with high unmet medical needs, today
announces it has been granted an international Patent Cooperation Treaty ( PCT') patent in the first of several jurisdictions
where the patent has been filed.
analogs and methods for their preparation", this patent protects the use of several proprietary small molecule compounds
and methods of their preparation, including the drug candidates screened for InMed's Alzheimer's disease and dry age-related
macular degeneration programs. This Patent No. 417531 (Application No. MX/a/2021/005026) has been issued in Mexico and holds a 20-year
term. The initial jurisdictional issuance of this important patent strengthens InMed's intellectual property portfolio, ensuring
the protection of innovative cannabinoid analogs designed for diverse therapeutic applications, including neurological disorders, behavioral
conditions, inflammation, and other medical needs. The PCT patent further protects InMed's production methods of its novel pharmaceutical
drug development candidates utilizing modern biopharmaceutical manufacturing approaches. The international PCT application has been filed
in, and is awaiting issuance from, several additional jurisdictions including the U.S., Europe, Japan and others.
InMed's President and CEO, Eric
A. Adams, said, "We are pleased with this initial issuance of a key PCT patent for our proprietary small molecule drug development
candidates. Our innovation includes an extensive library of novel small molecules aimed at targeting specific pharmacological properties
for therapeutic application. This has led to the development of promising, novel drug candidates for Alzheimer's disease and age-related
macular degeneration." He added, "The issuance underscores our commitment to securing the long-term intellectual property
protection of our research and development efforts. We remain focused on expanding our patent portfolio to protect our novel drug candidates,
methods of manufacturing these drugs, how they are formulated and how they are used to support the development of new treatments for diseases
with high unmet medical needs."
InMed has a total of 14 patent families
covering compositions, formulations, manufacturing processes and methods of use.
