Mindset Pharma Inc. (CSE: MSET) (“Mindset” or the “Company”), a drug discovery and development company focused on developing next generation psychedelic medicines and related technologies for the treatment of neuropsychiatric and neurological indications with unmet needs, is pleased to announce that it has filed another provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Mindset has synthesized several novel tryptamine compounds under its latest patent application, increasing the number of new patent-pending potential drug candidates synthesized under its new drug discovery and development program to an aggregate of 50 drug candidates.
The data generated by Mindset’s pre-clinical program continues to drive our development, and we are excited to share that – based on our results to date – our drug discovery and program is broadening considerably from where we originally began.”
James Lanthier – CEO of Mindset
Mindset’s pre-clinical screening data suggests that we are developing a broad portfolio of new psychedelic compounds, derived from diverse chemical scaffolds, with a range of pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties that have the potential to yield a rich pipeline of highly differentiated drug candidates both within and across the Mindset patent families. Variations in efficacy and duration of action mean that different compounds could be suitable for a number of potential central nervous system (CNS) indications. The Company expects to finalize a short list of lead and backup compounds to advance to IND-enabling studies by Q2 of 2021.”
Dr. Malik Slassi, Mindset’s Chief Medicinal Chemist, noted, “We believe that the comprehensive range of chemically diverse compounds that we are studying represents a significant competitive advantage to the Company in the pursuit of our goal of developing optimized next generation psychedelic medications to treat the broadest patient base. The structure-activity relationship data generated through the study of these compounds – i.e., the understanding of the interrelationship between compound structure and receptor activity – will be of great use to Mindset’s scientific team in our ongoing new drug development efforts.
Mindset continues to make great progress towards developing a portfolio of novel and patentable next-generation psychedelic drug candidates. We look forward to sharing additional updates around both our new drug program as well as our manufacturing process program shortly.”
