SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) ("Company" or "SciSparc"), a specialty
clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development
of therapies to treat disorders and rare diseases of the central
nervous system, announced today that as part of its ongoing
collaboration with Clearmind Medicine Inc. (“Clearmind”) (Nasdaq:
CMND) (FSE: CWY0), a biotechnology company focused on discovery and
development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve
major under-treated mental health problems, the publication of an
international patent application under the Patent Cooperation
Treaty for the innovative combination of Ibogaine with
N-Acylethanolamines.
Ibogaine is the major constituent of the root of Tabernanthe
iboga, a shrub commonly found in Western and Central Africa.
Ibogaine use in human clinical trials suggests efficacy in the
treatment of opioid use disorder, cocaine use disorder, and other
substance use disorders, suggesting that Ibogaine is a potentially
useful anti-addictive agent.
Under this collaboration, the SciSparc and Clearmind are
researching innovative combination therapies that integrate
psychedelic molecules with the N-acylethanolamines family,
including Palmitoylethanolamide. To date, thirteen patents related
to this collaboration have been filed by Clearmind with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office, as well as in several other global
jurisdictions.
