Selection of EB-003 based on research indicating its non-hallucinogenic, anxiolytic and anti-depressant properties

Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) (“Enveric” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction disorders, today announced that it is presenting research describing the Company’s identification of EB-003 as its lead development candidate based on preclinical data suggesting the compound exhibits promising anxiolytic and anti-depressant properties without inducing hallucinations, a favorable profile compared with other analogs of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT). The poster is being presented by Peter Facchini, Ph.D. Chief Innovation Officer of Enveric at the European Behavioral Pharmacology Society Biennial Workshop being held in Banff, Alberta, Canada on September 26, 2024.

The presentation titled, “Semi-systematic series of DMT analogs for exploring relationships between hallucination, neuroplastigenicity, and positive behavioural outcomes in mice,” describes the methodology used by Enveric to select EB-003 from a series of 3D-designed analogs based on behavioral outcomes in mouse models for anxiety and depression. The presentation highlights key measures of responses in mice including head twitch response (HTR), which is a behavioral proxy in rodents for human hallucinogenic effects, as well as outcomes of marble burying and sucrose preference, widely used models for anxiety and depression, respectively. These findings provide evidence of beneficial neuroplastogenic responses that are non-hallucinogenic in animal models.

“The European Behavioral Pharmacology Society’s Biennial Workshop is an important meeting of researchers dedicated to bringing cutting-edge pharmacology-based interventions for substance use and related mental health disorders to the forefront of medicine,” said Dr. Facchini. “I am proud to be presenting our team’s latest findings on EB-003 to the research community, and we look forward to building upon our continued efforts to move EB-003 to clinical trials.”

Enveric recently announced preclinical data confirming the oral bioavailability of EB-003 and its ability to produce brain exposure at therapeutically relevant levels. Enveric expects to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for EB-003 by the third quarter of 2025 and initiate clinical development by the end of 2025.
