Enveric Biosciences Secures Second U.S. Patent Allowance for Next-Generation, Non-Hallucinogenic Mescaline Derivatives in EVM401 Series
BUSINESS WIRE)-- Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) ('Enveric' or the 'Company'), a biotechnology company advancing novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics to address psychiatric and neurological disorders, today announced a second Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for novel compounds within its EVM401 Series, expanding its intellectual property assets in the treatment of mental health disorders. The allowed patent application, titled 'Substituted N-Propylamine Fused Heterocyclic Mescaline Derivatives,' covers a unique series of methylone-inspired compounds, which are structurally differentiated benzodioxole derivatives engineered as non-hallucinogenic modulators of neurotransmitters relevant for neuropsychiatric disorders. 'With this second patent allowance for the EVM401 Series, Enveric continues to strengthen its position as a first-in-class developer of neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics,' said Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., Director and CEO of Enveric. 'These patent-protected molecules are designed to capture the desirable neuroplasticity-promoting effects of methylone, while offering novel chemical structures that enable both strong IP protection and a potential path to repeat-dose outpatient care.' Enveric's molecules share pharmacophoric elements with methylone, an MDMA analog recently associated with positive Phase 2 results for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but differ structurally in ways that render them patentable and proprietary. In contrast, methylone, a synthetic cathinone with structural limitations, has no available composition of matter patent exclusivity because its structure is in the public domain. Enveric's differentiated benzodioxole analogs may offer similar therapeutic promise while potentially enabling a clearer regulatory and commercial path. The Company expects further preclinical testing will be required to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, and functional activity against PTSD and other psychiatric endpoints. 'The expansion of the EVM401 Series reflects Enveric's commitment to developing a deep pipeline of next-generation, non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogens that align with the scalability and safety needs of modern mental health treatment,' added Dr. Tucker. 'We believe this patent further positions Enveric at the forefront of the development of a new wave of targeted, accessible neuroplastogenic small-molecule drugs' About Enveric Biosciences Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) is a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Leveraging its unique discovery and development Psybrary™ platform, which houses proprietary information on the use and development of existing and novel molecules for specific mental health indications, Enveric seeks to develop a robust intellectual property portfolio of novel drug candidates.

Enveric Biosciences Lead Drug Candidate EB-003 Demonstrates Positive Effects in Preclinical Model of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 psychiatric and neurological disorders, today announced positive results in a preclinical, exposure-based therapeutic model for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In fear conditioned mice, oral administration of EB-003 significantly decreased context-induced freezing behavior when measured one-hour post-dose (p < 0.05) indicating a positive therapeutic effect with extinction of contextual fear after a single dose. These results were in line with the therapeutic effects observed with MDMA, which was used as a positive control in this study. MDMA is a psychedelic controlled substance that has demonstrated clinical benefit in the treatment of PTSD in human trials, although it is not approved by the FDA. The pairing of electrical shock stimulus with a controlled environment generates context-based traumatic memories leading to freezing behaviors when the subject is re-exposed to the same environment. This well-established translational rodent model, performed by a third-party lab, is designed to induce a potent, trauma-related state of fear using a Pavlovian association paradigm. 'Only a few medications have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of PTSD, including the serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) paroxetine and sertraline,' said Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., CEO and Director of Enveric. 'Only 20% to 30% of PTSD patients experience full remission with these drugs and it takes two to three weeks of SSRI administration before clinical and neuronal benefits become apparent. Clearly, there is enormous unmet need in PTSD, which has yet to be addressed with meaningful innovation.' Dr. Tucker added: 'Research has implicated impaired hippocampal neuroplasticity as key underlying features of patients struggling with PTSD. We are very encouraged that a single dose of our lead neuroplastogen, EB-003, facilitated rapid fear extinction in mice.' In light of this new data, EB-003, a next-generation neuroplastogen that may enhance hippocampal neuroplasticity without causing hallucinations, has the potential to significantly improve treatment outcomes for this chronic and debilitating mental health condition, representing a major opportunity in an underserved market.

Enveric Biosciences Announces Data that Broadens Scope of Clinical Indication Potential for Lead Candidate EB-003
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 psychiatric and neurological disorders, today unveiled additional data indicating that its lead development candidate, EB-003, acts as an agonist of the serotonin receptor 5-HT1B, in addition to its other previously disclosed receptor engagement activities. The 5-HT1B receptor is a recognized therapeutic target for treating several central nervous system ('CNS') conditions, including major depressive disorder, Parkinson's disease, migraines, and cluster headaches. The study results demonstrated agonism of 5-HT1B by EB-003 (EC 50 = 110 nM) and added to the existing receptor engagement data supporting that EB-003 acts as a partial agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor, which is key to the compound's potential ability to elicit neuroplastogenic effects without inducing adverse hallucinogenic outcomes. 'The 5-HT1B receptor, found predominantly in the frontal cortex, basal ganglia and hippocampus, is a validated therapeutic target of some well-known CNS drugs,' said Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., CEO of Enveric. 'Enveric previously announced positive pharmacology, in vitro safety and oral bioavailability data of EB-003, including achieving therapeutically relevant brain exposure in rodent models. The newly revealed ability to target 5-HT1B illustrates EB-003's differentiated and multifaceted mechanism of action and broadens its utility and the range of potential target indications to pursue in future development.' EB-003 is currently in preclinical development, with IND-enabling activities planned to continue through 2025. Enveric Biosciences will continue to explore strategic therapeutic opportunities in the psychiatric and neurological markets to strengthen the target product profile of this novel CNS drug candidate.
