Mindset Generates Promising In Vitro Results from Third Patent Family of Novel Psychedelic Compounds Suggesting Range of Potential Clinical Use Cases Including Micro-Dosing

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 6, 2021) – Mindset Pharma Inc. (CSE: MSET) (“Mindset” or the “Company“), a drug discovery and development company focused on developing next generation psychedelic medicines and related technologies for the treatment of neuropsychiatric and neurological indications with unmet needs, is pleased to announce that certain compounds belonging to its third family of patent-pending next generation psychedelic compounds are exhibiting positive in vitro characteristics.

James Lanthier, CEO of Mindset, commented, “Of the data being generated through Mindset’s in vitro screening program on its third novel compound family, perhaps most intriguing, is that certain compounds demonstrate half-lives extending well beyond those exhibited by comparable classical psychedelic drugs with no significant reduction in potency at the serotonin 5HT2A receptor. The Mindset team believes that such compounds may be optimal for indications in which a long term, micro-dosing, paradigm is advantageous, such as ADHD or pain.

“Like our previous two patent families, we continue to discover compounds with agonistic effects on 5HT2A comparable to, and in some cases substantially greater than, psilocin and N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Additionally, certain compounds demonstrate a greater degree of selectivity at the serotonin 5HT2A receptor, which allows our scientific team to better understand the structure-activity relationship of our compounds.

“Mindset will continue to advance its portfolio of novel psychedelic compounds, with a goal of finalizing a selection of lead drug candidates for progression towards IND-enabling studies and subsequently to human clinical trials. We anticipate sharing additional updates in the near future with respect to both our drug development and psilocybin manufacturing programs.”

Management of Mindset wishes to caution readers that any statements regarding its novel psychedelic compounds are based on preliminary testing data and the clinical success of such compounds is speculative in nature. For more complete and specific information regarding the Company, its prospects and the risks associated with those prospects, readers should consult the Company’s website and other reliable sources.
