MyMD Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MYMD), is a clinical stage biopharma company developing groundbreaking therapies for the treatment of
serious and debilitating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. MyMD's lead clinical candidate, MYMD-1 , is an orally available
next-generation TNF-alpha inhibitor with the potential to transform the way that TNF-alpha based diseases are treated. MYMD-1 , with
its small molecule design, improved safety profile and ability to cross the blood brain barrier, has the promise to provide meaningful
therapeutic solutions to patients not served by current TNF-alpha inhibitors and as a potential therapy for CNS-based inflammatory and
autoimmune diseases. MYMD-1 has demonstrated the potential to slow the aging process and extend healthy lifespan. The company is evaluating
MYMD-1 in Phase 2 studies for sarcopenia/frailty, a result of the aging process, as well as early-stage trials for rheumatoid arthritis
(RA), with the potential to expand into other applications. MyMD's second therapeutic candidate is Supera-CBD, a novel, synthetic,
non-toxic cannabidiol (CBD) analog that is 8000 times more potent a CB2 agonist (activator) than plant-based CBD. In addition to its
potential role in managing addiction, anxiety, chronic pain and seizures, Supera-CBD has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects.
