Clearmind Medicine Announces Publication of International Patent for Novel Therapy Targeting Weight Loss and Fatty Liver Disease

Innovative non-hallucinogenic treatment combines MEAI with Palmitoylethanolamide to address obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, tapping into a rapidly growing market projected to exceed $200 billion by 2035

Vancouver, Canada, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel, non-hallucinogenic, second generation,  neuroplastogen-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced the publication of an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for a novel combination therapy aimed at treating weight loss and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly known as fatty liver disease). This novel therapy integrates Clearmind’s proprietary 5-methoxy-2-aminoindane (MEAI) with Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), provided through its collaboration with NeuroThera Labs Inc. (TSXV: NTLX), a subsidiary of SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC).

The patent publication highlights the potential of this MEAI-PEA combination to offer a safe, non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen treatment for two major global health challenges: obesity, affecting over 890 million adults worldwide, and MASLD, impacting approximately 30% of the global adult population. Moreover, due to the presumed mechanism of action of the combination, this therapeutic option may offer a safer, easier and more cost effective option than GLP-1s agonists for obesity and MASLD.

“The publication of this international patent is part of our mission to develop innovative, proprietary and transformative therapies for underserved metabolic and neurological conditions,” said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine. “By combining our MEAI platform with PEA from our partners at NeuroThera Labs, we are positioning ourselves to address the escalating demand for effective, tolerable and safe treatments in the obesity and liver health space. This comes at a time when the global weight loss drugs market is experiencing rapid growth, which was valued at approximately $37 billion in 2025 and is forecasted to reach $226 billion by 2035, driven by increasing awareness of obesity as a chronic disease and the need for innovative alternatives to GLP-1 agonists.”
