Claims to methods for treating a psychiatric disorder using novel pharmaceutical drug formulations encompass an EVM301 Series of drug candidates of carboxylated psilocybin derivatives, targeting various difficult-to-treat mental health disorders

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 that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued to Enveric US Patent No. 12,605,361 (the ’361 patent), titled, “Carboxylated Psilocybin Derivatives and Methods of Using,” pertaining to the Company’s EVM301 Series of molecules being developed as potential treatments for mental health disorders.

The ‘361 patent, which issued on April 21, 2026, is directed to method claims that cover the use of Enveric’s previously patented pharmaceutical drug formulations claimed in U.S. Patent No. 11,752,130. The additional patent coverage broadens patent protection by covering use of the novel molecular structures for a family of carboxylated derivatives of tryptamine-based drug candidates. This patent is another step forward in building a robust intellectual property portfolio for our EVM301 Series.

“Our EVM301 Series continues to develop in strength and breadth with patent protection of potential small molecule therapies designed with the intent to enhance neuroplasticity while reducing or eliminating hallucinations associated with other psychedelic or psychedelic-inspired agents,” said Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., Director and CEO of Enveric Biosciences. “Enveric is focusing its resources on our lead candidate, EB003, to advance our unique molecular design that is intended to achieve a paradigm shift in the treatment of depression and anxiety. Our goal includes offering the opportunity for patients to benefit from psilocybin-derived medications while reducing or eliminating hallucinations otherwise associated with hallucinogenic agents. We anticipate that the potential for a safe and efficacious product that eliminates the requirement for observation by a healthcare professional during dosing will greatly enhance the acceptance and commercial value of EVM301 Series-based therapies and continues to drive Enveric innovation in the field.”
