US patent includes broad claims for treating
brain neurological disorders
Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) (“Enveric” or the “Company”),
a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel
neuroplastogens for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders,
today announces the expansion of protection for potential clinical
indications for its EB-002 drug candidate through the issuance of
Patent No. 11,945,778 by the United States Patent and Trademark
Office.
We believe the US patent issuance significantly increases the
Company’s current intellectual property protection of EB-002 by
adding methods of treatment that claim a broad field of brain
neurological disorders. The methods of treatment intend to apply to
neurological disorders such as sleep disorders, depression,
substance-related disorders, and headaches. EB-002 is Enveric’s
next generation psilocin prodrug being developed for
neuropsychiatric disorders, initially anxiety. EB-002 now has
additional patent protection supporting the enhanced potential to
both expand into additional neurological conditions and serve a
broad range of patient populations.
Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., CEO of Enveric, stated, “EB-002, the lead
compound that emerged from Enveric’s EVM201 screening program, now
enjoys US patent coverage under three issued patents that claim:
compositions and pharmaceutical formulations of EB-002 and closely
related similar compounds (US 11,707,447), methods of making the
molecules (US 11,845,726), and now methods of treating a broad
range of brain neurological disorders using EB-002 and related
compounds (US 11,945,778). PCT patent applications are also
pending.”
“Enveric believes that deploying comprehensive patent portfolios
to protect lead drug development candidates helps to derisk and
accelerate clinical development, furthering the Company’s efforts
to rapidly bring this new drug to patients,” Dr. Tucker added.
