Clearmind Medicine Inc. Files Patent for Novel Therapeutic Approach to Treat Eating Disorders
LOS ANGELES- Clearmind Medicine Inc. a biotech company specializing in the discovery and development of psychedelic-derived therapeutics, has announced the filing of a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the use of 3-methylmethcathinone (3-MMC) in the prevention and treatment of eating disorders, either alone or in conjunction with Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA).
The company aims to address major under-treated health problems, with a focus on being at the forefront of developments in fields where it believes it has an advantage. The field of weight loss, a significant area within the pharmaceutical industry, is one of the areas Clearmind is targeting. The company believes its molecules may have potential advantages over currently available treatments, including supply, active ingredient availability, pricing, adverse events, and methods of administration.
According to a report by the World Obesity Federation, it is predicted that half the world’s population will be overweight or obese by 2035. The report also indicates that this increase could strain healthcare systems and result in $4 trillion in economic damage. Clearmind’s initiative to develop novel therapeutics for eating disorders aligns with the growing need for effective and accessible treatments in the face of the escalating obesity epidemic.
