Enveric Biosciences Secures Second U.S. Patent Allowance for Next-Generation, Non-Hallucinogenic Mescaline Derivatives in EVM401 Series
Patent-protected methylone-inspired analogs support pipeline expansion into PTSD CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) ("Enveric" or the "Company"), a biotechnology company advancing novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics to address psychiatric and neurological disorders, today announced a second Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for novel compounds within its EVM401 Series, expanding its intellectual property assets in the treatment of mental health disorders. The allowed patent application, titled "Substituted N-Propylamine Fused Heterocyclic Mescaline Derivatives," covers a unique series of methylone-inspired compounds, which are structurally differentiated benzodioxole derivatives engineered as non-hallucinogenic modulators of neurotransmitters relevant for neuropsychiatric disorders. "With this second patent allowance for the EVM401 Series, Enveric continues to strengthen its position as a first-in-class developer of neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics," said Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., Director and CEO of Enveric. "These patent-protected molecules are designed to capture the desirable neuroplasticity-promoting effects of methylone, while offering novel chemical structures that enable both strong IP protection and a potential path to repeat-dose outpatient care." Enveric's molecules share pharmacophoric elements with methylone, an MDMA analog recently associated with positive Phase 2 results for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but differ structurally in ways that render them patentable and proprietary. In contrast, methylone, a synthetic cathinone with structural limitations, has no available composition of matter patent exclusivity because its structure is in the public domain. Enveric's differentiated benzodioxole analogs may offer similar therapeutic promise while potentially enabling a clearer regulatory and commercial path. The Company expects further preclinical testing will be required to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, and functional activity against PTSD and other psychiatric endpoints. "The expansion of the EVM401 Series reflects Enveric's commitment to developing a deep pipeline of next-generation, non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogens that align with the scalability and safety needs of modern mental health treatment," added Dr. Tucker. "We believe this patent further positions Enveric at the forefront of the development of a new wave of targeted, accessible neuroplastogenic small-molecule drugs" About Enveric Biosciences Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) is a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Leveraging its unique discovery and development Psybrary™ platform, which houses proprietary information on the use and development of existing and novel molecules for specific mental health indications, Enveric seeks to develop a robust intellectual property portfolio of novel drug candidates. Enveric's lead molecule, EB-003, is a potential first-in-class neuroplastogen designed to promote neuroplasticity, without inducing hallucinations, in patients suffering from difficult-to-address mental health disorders. Enveric is focused on advancing EB-003 towards clinical trials for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders while out-licensing other novel, patented Psybrary™ platform drug candidates to third-party licensees advancing non-competitive market strategies for patient care. Enveric is headquartered in Naples, FL with offices in Cambridge, MA and Calgary, AB Canada.

UAE and United States sign Statement of Intent to launch joint patent grant programme to enhance the efficiency of industrial property services
The Ministry of Economy and Tourism and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) signed a joint Statement of Intent to launch a programme aimed at accelerating patent grant procedures in the UAE. The agreement was formalised on the sidelines of the 66th series of meetings of the Assemblies of the Member States of WIPO, held in Geneva. His Excellency Abdulla bin Touq Al?Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism, highlighted that the agreement reflects the UAE's commitment to enhancing the competitiveness of its intellectual property (IP) system by embracing international best practices, particularly in the field of industrial property and patent registration systems. It delivers flexible and effective services that foster innovation, support entrepreneurship, and reinforce the UAE's position as a regional IP rights protection hub. H.E. noted that the partnership with the American side marks a new milestone in accelerating patent grants by fostering international collaboration and adopting advanced operational models. The initiative ensures faster and more effective protection for inventors and entrepreneurs, thereby creating a stimulating environment for innovation and investment in knowledge-based and technological sectors, and preparing the UAE for a future economy driven by creativity. Under the terms of the Statement of Intent, the programme will establish cooperation mechanisms to recognise positive examination results issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for corresponding UAE patent applications that comply with national laws. The collaboration forms part of the Ministry's efforts to enhance the industrial property ecosystem, improve procedural efficiency, and provide flexible, high-quality services to inventors in support of the country's business environment.
