Mindset Pharma Inc. (CSE: MSET) (OTCQB: MSSTF) a drug discovery company developing novel, optimized, next-generation psychedelic and non-psychedelic medications to treat neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders with unmet medical needs, today announced that it has filed two international patent applications under the Patent Coorperation Treaty (“PCT”) for the protection of certain of Mindset’s non-hallucinogenic novel non-tryptamine compounds known as “Family 6.”
The filings are based on pre-clinical studies and provide Mindset with preliminary freedom to operate for all claimed drug candidates from Family 6.
Additionally, by reducing or removing the psychedelic effect, in-clinic supervision should not be necessary, in turn reducing cost and improving convenience of these treatment options. The pre-clinical study results underpinning the candidates identified in these patent applications are highly promising.
Work performed on these novel non-tryptamine candidates, which included in-vitro screening, and ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion), along with in vivo studies, indicates 5-HT2A serotonin receptor activation without the cardinal in vivo signs of a hallucinogenic effect.James Lanthier, CEO of Mindset Pharma
