Enveric files provisional patent application on
newly identified group of molecules
Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) (“Enveric” or the “Company”),
a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel
neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of
psychiatric and neurological disorders, today announced that it has
filed a new provisional patent application with claims to methods
and pharmaceutical formulations for use on a family of molecules
discovered to offer potential to address neurodegenerative disease.
If confirmed through further testing, the potential of this newly
identified group of molecules expands the market potential for
Enveric drug candidates in a new direction.
Neurodegenerative diseases are a heterogenous group of
progressive neurological disorders characterized by the gradual
loss of neurons, leading to a decline in cognitive, motor and other
neurological functions. It has been estimated by the World Health
Organization (WHO) that approximately 50 million people worldwide
are affected by neurodegenerative diseases, with seven million in
the United States.
Broad claims in the patent application describe a group of
molecules that enhance brain derived neurotrophic factor (“BDNF”)
activity and address conditions where the BDNF/TrKB pathway plays a
major role. BDNF and its receptor TrKB support neuroprotection and
adult neurogenesis and enhance myelination by increasing the
density of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. While additional
pre-clinical testing is needed to confirm the enhancement of BDNF
activation, preliminary studies have revealed promotion of neuronal
development in a cell-based assay.
“Based on our team’s research, future molecules that emerge from
this family could represent therapeutic candidates to develop for
Alzheimer’s Disease and other neurodegenerative diseases,” said
Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., CEO and Director of Enveric. "In addition to
the potential to promote BDNF signaling, an established therapeutic
target in neurodegenerative diseases, a prototype molecule from the
family has been tested in vivo and revealed encouraging
pharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics.”
The preliminary PK profile suggests that the orally delivered
compound effectively enters the bloodstream, penetrates the brain,
and is subsequently and rapidly cleared from plasma. Further, this
molecule did not display 5HT2B receptor activation, which would
have been an indicator of cardiovascular risk potential.
“Based on the discovery and characterization work done to date,
we believe further investigation of this family of molecules is
warranted,” said Dr. Tucker.
About Enveric Biosciences
Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) is a biotechnology company
dedicated to the development of novel neuroplastogenic
small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of psychiatric and
neurological disorders. Leveraging its unique discovery and
development platform Psybrary™, which houses proprietary
information on the use and development of existing and novel
molecules for specific mental health indications, Enveric seeks to
develop a robust intellectual property portfolio of novel drug
candidates. Enveric’s lead molecule, EB-003, is a potential
first-in-class neuroplastogen designed to promote neuroplasticity,
without inducing hallucinations, in patients suffering from
difficult-to-address mental health disorders. Enveric is focused on
advancing EB-003 towards clinical trials for the treatment of
neuropsychiatric disorders while out-licensing other novel,
patented Psybrary™ platform drug candidates to third-party
licensees advancing non-competitive market strategies for patient
care. Enveric is headquartered in Naples, FL with offices in
Cambridge, MA and Calgary, AB Canada. For more information, please

management. Actual results could differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of
certain factors, including, but not limited to, the ability of
Enveric to: finalize and submit its IND filing to the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration; carry out successful clinical programs;
achieve the value creation contemplated by technical developments;
avoid delays in planned clinical trials; establish that potential
products are efficacious or safe in preclinical or clinical trials;
establish or maintain collaborations for the development of
therapeutic candidates; obtain appropriate or necessary
governmental approvals to market potential products; obtain future
funding for product development and working capital on commercially
reasonable terms; scale-up manufacture of product candidates;
respond to changes in the size and nature of competitors; hire and
retain key executives and scientists; secure and enforce legal
rights related to Enveric’s products, including patent protection;
identify and pursue alternative routes to capture value from its
research and development pipeline assets; continue as a going
concern; and manage its future growth effectively.
A discussion of these and other factors, including risks and
uncertainties with respect to Enveric, is set forth in Enveric’s
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
Enveric’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q. Enveric disclaims any intention or obligation to revise
