Business Wire
Allowed claims protect composition of matter
and methods of use for EB-003, a neuroplastogen targeting
undertreated mental health indications
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
depression, anxiety, and addiction disorders, today announced that
it has received a Notice of Allowance (NOA) from the United States
Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a patent application
pertaining to its EVM301 Series of molecules being developed as
potential treatments for mental health disorders.
The USPTO issues a Notice of Allowance after making the
determination that a patent should be granted from an
application.
The application titled, “N-Hetercycle Substituted Tryptamine
Derivatives and Methods of Using,” contains composition of matter
and method of use claims for a family of tryptamine derivatives.
The allowed claims cover a novel subset of “multi-substituent”
tryptamine derivative compounds and also their use to treat brain
disorders.
“This NOA is particularly exciting as the allowed claims cover
Enveric’s lead candidate, EB-003, which is currently in preclinical
development to support an Investigational New Drug (IND)
application,” said Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., Director and CEO of
Enveric.
Dr. Tucker continued, “EB-003 is intended to target major
undertreated mental health indications, including
treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. Preclinical testing has
shown its potential to promote neuroplasticity without inducing the
hallmark hallucinations associated with most psychedelic and
psychedelic-inspired molecules.” He added, “EB-003 also potentially
offers the opportunity to administer treatment without requiring a
healthcare professional to be present during treatment, which would
be a paradigm shift compared to first-generation psychedelics.”
The USPTO has granted Enveric a broad range of composition of
matter claims for tryptamine derivatives in 12 U.S. patents.
Enveric also has 34 national applications pending in the U.S and
other countries, and 2 Patent Cooperation Treaty patent
applications pending in pursuit of broad national and international
patent protection for its key compounds in target countries.
