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 that an additional patent application
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) was
submitted as part of its ongoing collaboration with Clearmind
Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind"), a
clinical-stage biotech company focused on discovery and development
of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major
under-treated health problems and invented with Professor Joseph
Tam from the Hebrew University’s technology transfer company,
Yissum. The patent application is for the novel proprietary
composition of Palmitoylethanolamide (“PEA”), the active ingredient
of SciSparc’s proprietary CannAmide™ with Clearmind’s innovative
MEAI compound (5-methoxy-2-aminoindane) for treating metabolic
syndrome and obesity.
According to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention from the period 2017-2020, the prevalence of obesity
in the United States of adults aged 20 and over was 41.9%.
According to Emergen Research, the global obesity treatment
market size was $15 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a
compound annual growth rate of 10.0% during the forecast period.
Rising prevalence of obesity and technological advancements in
weight loss equipment are key factors driving market revenue
growth.
Overall, as part of this collaboration, twelve other patent
applications have been filed by Clearmind with the USPTO for
various compositions, including the proprietary composition of
SciSparc’s PEA with Clearmind’s MEAI compound for the treatments of
alcohol use disorder, cocaine addiction and obesity and its related
metabolic disorders.
