Mydecine Innovations Group Receives Notice of Allowance from USPTO for its MYCO
-005 Compound
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, 18 December 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mydecine
Innovations Group Inc. ("Mydecine" or the "Company") (CSE:MYCO) (AQSE:MYIG)
(OTC:MYCOF) (FSE:0NFA), a forefront biotechnology company dedicated to
revolutionising mental health and addiction treatment, proudly announces the
Company has received the issuance of a Notice of Allowance by the United States
Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for their MYCO-005 compound, "Novel Aza
-Substituted Psilocin Analogs And Methods Of Synthesizing The Same Unique
Compound (US20230348380A1)".
This Composition of Matter patent underscores Mydecine's commitment to
innovation in mental health therapeutics. MYCO-005, a novel compound, that
mimics psilocin as an improved version engineered to act therapeutically similar
to psilocin while dramatically reducing highly undesirable side effects from
long-term sustained use of psilocybin and almost all-known classical serotonin
agonists such as (LSD, DMT, etc.), specifically addressing valvular fibrosis
concerns recognised by leading clinicians and FDA regulators. MYCO-005 is
designed with selective binding to 5-HT2A receptors and does not bind to 5-HT2B
receptors for both macro and microdosing.
In 2020, Mydecine filed its provisional patent application encompassing multiple
families of psilocin analogs, with MYCO-005 emerging as a second-generation
breakthrough. This compound addresses stability and receptor binding concerns
associated with first-generation compounds, introducing a novel psilocin analog
with potentially heart-safe microdose-enabling properties, eliminating a known
cardiovascular risk factor.
Microdosing, gaining recognition as a potential treatment for ADHD, depression,
and anxiety, is often hindered by the cardiovascular risks associated with
psilocybin. Chief Scientific Officer, Rob Roscow, highlighted the risks linked
to the 5-HT2B receptor and heart valve tissue fibrosis.
"Mydecine's research on MYCO-005 demonstrates robust binding to the classic
psychedelic 5-HT2A receptor while avoiding binding to the 5-HT2B receptor,
suggesting an enhanced safety profile for microdosing," stated Roscow. This
advancement positions MYCO-005 as a safer alternative for those suffering from
anxiety or depression disorders.
Mydecine Innovations Group continues to lead the way in biotechnological
advancements, dedicated to pioneering safer and more effective solutions for
mental health and addiction disorders.
The Directors of Mydecine take responsibility for this announcement.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of
the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by
virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR"), and is disclosed in

About Mydecine Innovations Group Inc.
Mydecine Innovations Group is a publicly traded, pre-revenue biopharmaceutical
company that began operations in North America and Europe in early 2020.
Mydecine was founded to increase physicians' access to serotonin-modulating
medicine. Recent research has demonstrated the therapeutic potential of
psychedelic substances such as psilocybin and MDMA for treating intractable
conditions such as pain, anxiety, depression, addiction, and PTSD, along with
neurodegenerative disorders. Mydecine believes these compounds can be safer,
more effective, and more accessible for patients and medical professionals
through modern drug chemistry paired with artificial intelligence (AI). Through
its exclusive partnership with Applied Pharmaceutical Innovation based at the
University of Alberta, Mydecine is developing innovative medications for target
indications with high mortality rates that have lacked innovation for decades
and are controlled by dominant corporations. Mydecine developed several prodrug
families, beginning with a psilocybin-derived smoking cessation drug undergoing
a NIDA-funded trial at Johns Hopkins University. Mydecine is also developing
MYCO-006-short-acting chemical analogs derived from MDMA for treating various
conditions, including anxiety and pain. Mydecine utilizes cutting-edge
artificial intelligence (AI) and pharma research infrastructure at the
University of Alberta to develop and manufacture new medications to make them
affordable and accessible to the general public upon Health Canada and FDA
approval. The Mydecine team is enthusiastic about its mission and is dedicated
to creating a positive difference in the lives of others.
