- Statistically significant improvements in a preclinical model
of severe chronic depression and despair
- Support for safe, extended, daily oral administration
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 positive
preclinical results for its lead neuroplastogen drug candidate,
EB-003, in the Open Space Forced Swim Test, a preclinical mouse
model of severe depression and despair.
The Open Space Forced Swim Test, a well-established psychiatric
behavioral model, is designed to induce potent and enduring chronic
depression-like states in mice, leading to reduced swim distance
and increased periods of despair-induced immobility. In a study
performed by a third-party lab, an oral dose of EB-003 at 30 mg/kg
significantly reduced depression-like behavior within 30 minutes of
administration. This was indicated by the enhanced distance
travelled and reduced immobility of treated mice during forced swim
sessions (statistical p-value < 0.01). These results were
comparable to the therapeutic effects of Imipramine, an approved
tricyclic antidepressant drug.
A repeat study, conducted by the same third-party lab, produced
consistent results, confirming 30 mg/kg as an efficacious oral dose
for EB-003. The study also confirmed no adverse locomotor effects
were observed at this dose.
The study also performed a preliminary assessment of extended,
daily dosing of EB-003 to determine any potential safety concerns
for chronic therapeutic administration. Mice receiving a daily oral
dose of EB-003 at 30 mg/kg for 22 days showed no adverse
behavioral, physiological or neurological effects. These
observations demonstrate acceptable tolerance to long-term systemic
drug exposure and expand the range of EB-003 dosing strategies.
“We are encouraged by these statistically significant and
biologically meaningful results in a severe chronic depression
animal model,” said Dr. Joseph Tucker, CEO of Enveric Biosciences.
“EB-003 has now demonstrated strong behavioral efficacy and a clean
safety profile in several animal models that are relevant to
chronic treatment of severe depression. These data points validate
the compound’s pharmacological design and provide strong support
for the planned Investigational New Drug (IND) application”
EB-003 is the lead compound from Enveric’s proprietary EVM301
Series, a pipeline of next-generation neuroplastogens engineered to
stimulate synaptic plasticity without incurring hallucinogenic
liability.
