Enveric Biosciences Attains Landmark US Patent for Psilocybin-Derived Mental Health Treatments

LOS ANGELES- In a significant stride towards revolutionizing treatments for mental health disorders, Enveric Biosciences disclosed that it has secured a pivotal patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Granted on September 12, 2023, the U.S. Patent No. 11,752,130 titled “Carboxylated Psilocybin Derivatives and Methods of Using,” pertains to Enveric’s developing EVM301 Series of molecules, envisioned as potential therapeutics for mental health issues.

Unique Potential in the Mental Health Landscape

The EVM301 Series, as elucidated by Enveric’s CEO and Director, Dr. Joseph Tucker, consists of small molecule therapies conceptualized to bolster neuroplasticity while minimizing or completely eradicating the hallucinogenic effects commonly linked with psychedelic or psychedelic-inspired agents. This distinctive approach harbors the potential to be a game-changer in addressing depression and anxiety.

Dr. Tucker emphasized the transformative aspect of this development, highlighting its capacity to facilitate the administration of psilocybin-derived medications without necessitating the presence of healthcare personnel during dosing. This breakthrough could exponentially amplify the commercial prospects of therapies based on the EVM301 Series, simultaneously alleviating the financial and time constraints related to ongoing supervisory requirements during treatment procedures.

In light of these prospective benefits, Enveric is vigorously pursuing the expansion of its intellectual property portfolio for the EVM301 Series, considering this recently acquired U.S. patent as a pivotal foundational element.

Strengthening Enveric’s Intellectual Property and R&D Pursuits

This newly acquired patent grants Enveric exclusive rights to novel compositions and drug formulations concerning a group of carboxylated derivatives stemming from tryptamine-based drug candidates. Enveric anticipates that this development will considerably augment the value and reinforce the stance of the EVM301 Series of compounds, which are presently undergoing rigorous lead optimization and preclinical candidate characterization procedures.

A Promising Valuation on the Horizon

Recent analytical undertakings by Diamond Equity Research, a third-party entity compensated by Enveric for their analysis, have thrown light on the promising financial trajectory of the company. According to their report, despite the existing market capitalization of $4.86 million falling below its net cash position of $7.07 million – a phenomenon frequently witnessed in biotech firms sans revenue streams and characterized by higher risk factors and elevated cash burn rates – Enveric holds promise.

The analysis, grounded in a risk-adjusted DCF approach, estimated a valuation of $21.02 million for Enveric, premised on a successful execution strategy by the company. This projection, reflecting a blend of a 12.50% discount rate and a 10% probability of success for EB-373, was accompanied by a relative valuation approach that proposed a valuation of $21.47 million, translating to $10.00 per share.

The attainment of the U.S. Patent No. 11,752,130 marks a monumental milestone for Enveric Biosciences, potentially redefining the contours of mental health treatments. As the company navigates the complex landscape of mental health therapeutics, its commitment to fostering innovation and expanding its intellectual property repertoire underscores its visionary approach, holding promising prospects for patients and the broader healthcare ecosystem.
