Clearmind Medicine: New Scientific Publication Shows MEAI's Potential as a Novel Weight Loss Drug
August 06 2024 - 8:57AM
Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind” or
the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on
discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics
to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced that
a new article published by Baraghithy et al, revealed promising
results from a recent study on 5-methoxy-2-aminoindane (MEAI) for
combating obesity. The study was meticulously conducted by a team
of experts led by Prof. Joseph Tam, head of the Obesity and
Metabolism Laboratory at the School of Pharmacy in the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem.
Key findings from the study include:
- Weight loss: MEAI significantly reduced diet-induced obesity in
mice by decreasing fat mass while preserving lean mass.
- Improved Metabolism: MEAI significantly improved glycemic
control by reducing hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance and
hyperinsulinemia, highlighting its therapeutic potential in
regulating glucose metabolism.
- Fatty liver disease: MEAI decreased fatty liver by lowering
liver triglyceride and cholesterol levels, mainly through
inhibiting new lipid synthesis and reducing fat accumulation.
- Increased Energy Expenditure: MEAI increased energy expenditure
and fat utilization while maintaining a similar food
consumption.
- Activity: MEAI increased activity-specific energy expenditure
without overstimulation supporting its potential to impact energy
balance.
These findings are based on the results from Clearmind
Medicine’s study aimed to investigate the ability of MEAI to
modulate metabolism and counteract obesity. This comprehensive
study was published in ACS Pharmacology and Translational Science,
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acsptsci.4c00353.
Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine, commented, "The
newly published paper shows the efficacy of MEAI as a promising
therapeutic approach for weight loss and normalization of metabolic
disorders. The comprehensive experiments demonstrate the ability of
MEAI to significantly reduce weight by lowering the fat mass,
improve the body's metabolic function and lower fat accumulation in
the liver, all of which position this treatment as a potential
breakthrough in the treatment of obesity. We are excited by the
potential of MEAI, which may position it at the forefront of weight
loss treatments, even compared to the marketed treatments in the
percentage of weight loss, its unique mechanism of action, the easy
administration and in the fact that no food consumption constrains
are required."
