Results from preclinical in vivo studies suggest that Clearmind’s drug candidate MEAI may be effective in treating: material Addiction without interrupting the natural reward process
TEL AVIV, VANCOUVER, ISRAEL/CANADA, January 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq, CSE: CMND), (FSE: CWY) (“Clearmind” or “Company”), a biotechnology company A company focused on discovering and developing new psychedelic-derived treatments to solve major untreated health problems today reveals the tremendous potential of MEAI and its effects on substances. published additional positive preclinical results in a series of ongoing research studies conducted to – use disorders (SUD). A recent in vivo study examined the effects of his MEAI on the natural reward processes associated with cocaine addiction.
The preclinical study was led by Professor Gal Yadid of the Gonda Comprehensive Brain Research Center, Bar-Ilan University, Israel. As previously announced (see press release dated August 24, 2022), Clearmind’s proprietary MEAI at his 5mg/kg dose showed the unique ability to reduce cocaine cravings, It may be the first dedicated cocaine addiction treatment.
Our most recent research study was designed to assess the effects of MEAI on natural rewards, as reward-based positive reinforcement is an evolutionary survival strategy shared across species. However, in drug addiction, reward-seeking becomes maladaptive, endangering survival. The aim of this in vivo study was to conclude whether MEAI uses the same mechanisms underlying both drug and natural reward (such as sucrose) seeking. Results show that natural reward is maintained in his MEAI-treated rats, thus indicating that the effect of her MEAI on drug-seeking is not related to the general reward system. .
“We are excited to continue to demonstrate positive results for our unique drug candidate, MEAI. There is currently no dedicated treatment, but I think Clearmind is leading the way in this area. ”
Professor Gal Yadid said: Empirical data indicate that MEAI is a potential treatment for cocaine addiction, especially his SUD. This observation is based on our experience and previous data testing different treatments for SUD. Further research is needed to better characterize the respondent population. “
