+Added: Industries develops and commercializes psychedelic-derived pharmaceutical candidates.
+Added: MagicMed’s psychedelic derivatives library,
+Added: the Psybrary™, is an essential building block from which industry can develop new patented products.
+Added: The initial focus of the Psybrary™
+Added: is on psilocybin and DMT derivatives, and it is then expected to be expanded to other psychedelics.
+Added: our amalgamation with MagicMed completed in September 2021 (the “Amalgamation”), we have continued to pursue the development
+Added: of MagicMed’s proprietary psychedelic derivatives library, the Psybrary™ which we believe will help us to identify
+Added: and develop the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges, including cancer-related distress.
+Added: We synthesize novel
+Added: versions of classic psychedelics, such as psilocybin, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), mescaline and MDMA, using a mixture of chemistry and
+Added: synthetic biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent families with over a million potential
+Added: variations and hundreds of synthesized molecules.
+Added: Within the Psybrary™ we have three different types of molecules, Generation 1
+Added: (classic psychedelics), Generation 2 (pro-drugs), and Generation 3 (new chemical entities).
+Added: The Company is working to add novel
+Added: psychedelic molecular compounds and derivatives (“Psychedelic Derivatives”) on a regular basis through our work at Enveric
+Added: Labs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where we have a team of PhD scientists with expertise in synthetic biology and chemistry.
+Added: have created over 500 molecules that are housed in the Psybrary.
+Added: screen newly synthesized molecules in the Psybrary™ through PsyAI™, a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) tool.
+Added: AI systems is expected to reduce the time and cost of pre-clinical, clinical, and commercial development.
+Added: We believe it streamlines pharmaceutical
+Added: design by predicting ideal binding structures of molecules, manufacturing capabilities, and pharmacological effects to help determine
+Added: ideal drug candidates, tailored to each indication.
+Added: Each of these molecules that we believe are patentable can then be further screened
+Added: to see how changes to its makeup alter its effects in order to synthesize additional new molecules.
+Added: New compounds of sufficient purity
+Added: are undergoing pharmacological screening, including non-clinical (receptors/cell lines), preclinical (animal), and ultimately clinical
+Added: (human) evaluations.
+Added: We intend to utilize our Psybrary™ and the AI tool to categorize and characterize the Psybrary™ substituents
+Added: to focus on bringing more psychedelics-inspired molecules from discovery to the clinical phase.
+Added: are also aiming to advance a pipeline of novel cannabinoid combination therapies for the side effects of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy

−Removed: Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG), on the other hand, are not psychotropic and are therefore more attractive candidates for translation
−Removed: into therapeutic practice.
−Removed: In the future, we may utilize cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants, which may contain THC;
−Removed: we only intend to do so in jurisdictions where THC is legal.
−Removed: These product candidates will then be studied through a typical Food and

−Removed: believe that we offer the following key distinguishing characteristics:
−Removed: Dedication to Prescription Cancer Supportive Care .
−Removed: We believe that we are one of the only companies currently developing evidence-based

−Removed: intend to develop such therapies by conforming its product candidates to GMP and obtaining FDA approval for such product candidates.
−Removed: Patient-Centric
−Removed: Product Development .
−Removed: We are focusing on a patient-centric approach to our product development that will uniquely position us
−Removed: to meet the needs of oncology patients.
−Removed: Mover Advantage .
−Removed: We believe we are among the first companies working towards creating a leading brand utilizing cannabinoids
−Removed: in oncology supportive care.
−Removed: We seek to build upon our first mover advantage and expertise in cannabinoid research to accelerate
−Removed: the discovery, development, and commercialization of therapies for persons affected by cancer that are safe, effective, and trusted
−Removed: by patients and physicians globally.
−Removed: Collaboration

−Removed: pharmaceutical products.
−Removed: We intend to leverage Tikun Olam’s large-scale human datasets and expand upon Tikun Olam’s existing
−Removed: research by conducting new studies.
−Removed: Sophisticated
−Removed: Leadership Team and Scientific Advisors .
−Removed: We have a world-class leadership team with extensive regulated pharmaceutical industry
−Removed: backgrounds and deep expertise in oncology, skin and wound care, and clinical research.
−Removed: In addition, we closely collaborate with
−Removed: a broad network of leading physicians and scientists at major institutions.
−Removed: Seeking Growth and Enhancement Opportunities .
−Removed: We have identified a pathway to business growth and shareholder value creation
−Removed: based on our planned development programs and eventually plan to leverage the credibility of that expertise into broader offerings.
−Removed: We will continue to expand our opportunities to add assets that are complementary or accretive to our plans to serve patients through
−Removed: acquisition and in-licensing.
−Removed: Market Strategy and Business Approach
−Removed: have a two-step go-to-market strategy:
−Removed: Product Candidates :
−Removed: Develop product candidates that target skincare-related ailments common among cancer patients, such as radiodermatitis,
−Removed: chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, pruritus, rashes, and dry skin.
−Removed: Advance novel cannabinoid combination therapies for persons with cancer, starting with programs in glioblastoma multiforme
−Removed: believe that our existing approach to development, and a future ongoing emphasis on data collection, will differentiate us from our peers
−Removed: and improve the quality of care we are able to provide.
+Added: Selected cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) candidates, on the other hand, have amounts of THC well below 0.1% and are not
+Added: psychotropic and therefore more attractive candidates for translation into therapeutic practice.
+Added: Drugs with less than 0.1% THC
+Added: have a history, when approved as drugs by FDA, of being able to be rescheduled by DEA from Schedule I to Schedule V, as in the case of
+Added: Epidiolex and Marinol.
+Added: In the future, we may utilize cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants, which may contain higher amounts
+Added: however, we only intend to do so in jurisdictions where THC is legal.
+Added: However, synthetic THC is a Schedule I controlled substance;
+Added: so, the use of any APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) containing synthetic THC (or naturally derived THC in concentrations greater
+Added: than 0.3%) may increase regulatory scrutiny and require additional expenses and authorizations.
+Added: All current and future product candidates
+Added: that we are developing or may develop will be tested for safety and efficacy under an IND application and subject to the Food and Drug
+Added: Administration (“FDA”) pre-market approval process for new drugs.

−Removed: widespread demand, the pharmaceutical market lacks products that address the unique supportive care needs of cancer patients.
−Removed: we believe that research suggests that cannabis, as a palliative treatment for cancer patients, appears to be a well-tolerated option
−Removed: to help patients cope with malignancy-related symptoms.
−Removed: For example, researchers from the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, Israel
−Removed: analyzed data gathered at Tikun Olam’s central clinic from cancer patients to whom medical cannabis was given for palliative-care
−Removed: purposes between March 2015 and February 2017 (Schleiderab, European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2018).
−Removed: The primary symptoms prior

−Removed: Note, however, that these are anecdotal reports, which
−Removed: may or may not be indicative of the results that we may see from clinical studies conducted pursuant to an IND.
−Removed: to a separate survey of 237 oncologists, 80% of these oncologists discussed medical cannabinoids with patients where nearly half recommended
−Removed: them clinically (Braun IM, J Clin Oncol, 2018).
−Removed: The same survey found that 67% of the oncologists viewed cannabinoids as a helpful adjunct
−Removed: to standard pain management strategies, and 65% viewed cannabinoids as equally or more effective than standard treatments for anorexia
−Removed: and cachexia.
−Removed: also shows that most cancer patients have a strong interest in learning about cannabinoids during treatment.
−Removed: According to the Washington

−Removed: same survey found that 66% of patients had used cannabis in the past, 24% used in the last year, and 21% used in the last month.
−Removed: cancer patients tend to be heavy cannabis users.
−Removed: A survey of active cannabis users who have cancer (Pergam SA, Cancer, 2017) found that
−Removed: 74% used cannabis at least once a week, 56% used cannabis at least daily, and 31% used cannabis multiple times a day.
−Removed: Active users consumed
−Removed: cannabis primarily for physical symptoms such as pain and nausea or for psychological reasons such as coping with stress, depression,
−Removed: and sleep difficulty.
−Removed: a 2017 report, the National Academy of Sciences noted that, although cannabis has both therapeutic value and public health risks, there
−Removed: is a systemic lack of research aimed at properly evaluating cannabis-based therapies.
−Removed: The National Academy of Sciences offered recommendations
−Removed: that included developing standards and benchmarks to guide cannabis research, addressing research gaps to evaluate the short- and long-term
−Removed: health effects of cannabis use, improving surveillance capacity to ensure that sufficient data is available, and addressing regulatory
−Removed: barriers to cannabis research and proposing strategies for supporting a comprehensive cannabis research agenda.
−Removed: only 30% of oncologists felt sufficiently informed to make recommendations regarding medical cannabis, suggesting a large unmet opportunity
−Removed: to educate oncologists and provide research that supports the safety and efficacy of Enveric product candidates.
−Removed: Among the oncologists
−Removed: who discussed medical cannabis with patients, 78% said that patients were the ones to express interest on most occasions.
−Removed: for Premium Pricing
−Removed: plan to conduct extensive clinical research in an effort to establish the safety of its prospective product candidates in cancer patients,
−Removed: and, eventually, help to identify and/or develop cannabinoid medicines intended to reduce various unwanted side effects that commonly
−Removed: affect cancer patients, target specific patient sequelae ( e.g.
−Removed: , cancer pain, anxiety, or nausea), and target specific side effects
−Removed: to the skin as a result of radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
−Removed: believe that prescription only medicines containing cannabinoids (including product with hemp-based ingredients) will carry a price premium.
−Removed: Upon obtaining FDA approval for our product candidates, we are striving to distinguish ourselves from a rising tide of cannabis industry
−Removed: participants by:
−Removed: product candidates specific to the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment, with a novel focus on skincare.
−Removed: evidence-based best practices specific to cancer patients.
−Removed: clinical research to support the safety and effectiveness of its product candidates in cancer patients.
−Removed: FDA approval, as most over-the-counter (“OTC”) products sold are not FDA approved.
−Removed: believe these will be an important differentiator for people with cancer and oncologists who are faced with high patient demand and in
−Removed: still relatively novel, unproven field of medical cannabis.
−Removed: Accordingly, we anticipate eventually being able to charge a premium for
−Removed: those of our prospective product candidates that are successfully commercialized.
−Removed: Further, more than one-third of cancer patients who
−Removed: used medical cannabis were new users (K.
−Removed: Martell, Curr Oncol, 2018), suggesting the potential to establish strong brand loyalty from
−Removed: cancer patients and oncologists.
−Removed: Currently Targeted by Enveric
−Removed: Radiodermatitis
−Removed: and Other Skin Conditions
−Removed: therapy is considered an essential component of cancer treatment, with nearly 50% of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy at
−Removed: some point during the course of their treatments.
−Removed: Radiodermatitis, or radiation-induced skin injury, is one of the most common adverse
−Removed: effects of radiation therapy.
−Removed: Of those receiving radiation therapy, approximately 90% experience some form of radiodermatitis.
−Removed: skin is another common adverse side effect of certain cancer therapies.
−Removed: For example, a recent study of patients being treated with chemotherapy
−Removed: for breast cancer found that 57.9% of the patients reported dry skin.
−Removed: Rashes are the most common side effect from targeted cancer therapies
−Removed: with some treatments.
−Removed: The incidence of rash varies based on the type of cancer and drug used.
−Removed: For instance, skin rash occurs in up to
−Removed: 90% of patients treated with Erbitux, while other drugs may only affect half of patients.
−Removed: Pruritus (itchy skin) is a common adverse side
−Removed: effect of cancer therapies;
−Removed: a recent survey of 379 cancer survivors reported that 36% experienced pruritus during treatment.
−Removed: address the unique skincare needs of persons with cancer, we are seeking to formulate a cannabinoid-based ointment or other topical drug
−Removed: product for skincare conditions, such as radiodermatitis (among other conditions, as applicable).
−Removed: Standard of Care
−Removed: current standard of care for radiodermatitis consists of a combination of preventative routines and symptomatic management based on dermatitis
−Removed: Preventative skin care routines generally involve keeping the area clean and dry while avoiding skin irritants and unnecessary
−Removed: friction or skin stress (Salvo, Curr Onvol, 2010;
−Removed: Wong, Supp Care Canc, 2013).
−Removed: Applying lanolin-free moisturizer 2-3 times a day throughout
−Removed: the duration of treatment is also recommended, with some evidence suggesting that topical corticosteroids used after radiotherapy sessions
−Removed: may provide some benefit as well (Salvo, Curr Onvol, 2010;
−Removed: Wong, Supp Care Canc, 2013).
−Removed: the use of these interventions, up to 85% of individuals will experience a moderate to severe skin reaction during their disease course
−Removed: (Salvo, Curr Oncol, 2010).
−Removed: This highlights the need for better preventative strategies to reduce the incidence and severity of skin toxicity.
−Removed: The incomplete success of therapies to date likely relates to the multiple toxic mechanisms of radiation, including direct DNA toxicity,
−Removed: oxidative stress, and both acute and chronic inflammatory reactions.
−Removed: Therapies that can address multiple aspects of radiation toxicity
−Removed: on the cellular level are likely to have the most success as prophylaxis and treatment for these patients.
−Removed: Current Development Plans
−Removed: intend to develop products that address unmet medical needs in palliative and supportive care for cancer patients.
−Removed: The first product
−Removed: will address radiodermatitis and will enter into clinical trials after an IND submission has been filed.
−Removed: We then intend to seek FDA approval
−Removed: via the new-drug-application (NDA 505(b)(1)) pathway.
−Removed: Multiforme (GBM)
−Removed: multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive and almost universally fatal disease.
−Removed: Even with the most extensive surgical resections and the
−Removed: most aggressive radiation and chemotherapy regimens, median overall survival is as low as 15- to 19-months (Stupp, NEJM, 2005).
−Removed: is likely due, in part, to an intrinsic propensity for treatment resistance and, as a result, the essentially unavoidable event of tumor
−Removed: The current prognosis for most patients necessitates significant advances in the standard of care to improve both overall
−Removed: survival and patient quality of life.
−Removed: believe that CBD has the potential to influence many of the key pathways involved in GBM pathogenesis, from tumor stemness and proliferation
−Removed: to angiogenesis and local invasion.
−Removed: GBM tumors express CB2 receptors, through which CBD and other cannabinoids are thought to exert their
−Removed: anti-cancer efforts (Ellert-Miklaszewska, Adv Exp Med Biol, 2013).
−Removed: The prospect of CBD used in combination with other pharmacologic interventions
−Removed: holds promise for the treatment of GBM.
−Removed: The development of clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of CBD combination therapies may
−Removed: represent an important step towards improving the clinical outcomes in a population of patients with few other effective therapeutic
−Removed: to a study by Kenyon in 2018, seven out of seven patients with GBM experienced a positive clinical response, although four ultimately
−Removed: succumbed to the disease.
−Removed: CBD was hypothesized to be able to reduce the growth and survival of GBM cell lines by disrupting the normal
−Removed: function of the cell, or cell cycle arrest, and the induction of programmed cell death, or apoptosis (Marcu, Mol Cancer Ther, 2010).
−Removed: Cannabinoids have been shown to promote cancer cell death through the overproduction of a lipid subset, called ceramides, as accumulation
−Removed: of ceramides in GBM cells may prevent the cell from functioning normally.
−Removed: Additionally, the generation of unstable oxygen molecules,
−Removed: or reactive oxygen species, can damage nearby molecules and trigger cell death (Dumitru, Front Mol Neurosci, 2018).
−Removed: Enveric’s
−Removed: Prospective Product Candidates

−Removed: open label, two-arm, randomized prospective study.
−Removed: An initial dose limiting toxicity (DLT) cohort will be investigated in a phase 1 study
−Removed: in order to rule out any toxicity related to the combination.
−Removed: If successful, recruitment would continue, and then 40 patients would be
−Removed: randomized into two arms, with 20 patients in each arm:
−Removed: (i) synthetic CBD extract plus clomiphene and temolozomide, and (ii) synthetic
−Removed: CBD extract plus temolozomide.
−Removed: The primary endpoints would be progression free survival.
−Removed: The progression of the disease would be determined
−Removed: from a Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) and a tumor assessment based on MRI scans.
−Removed: Safety parameters would include serious
−Removed: adverse events and other adverse events as reported by the patients and caregivers.
−Removed: of the date of annual report, all pre-clinical studies, and the draft clinical study protocol related to our clinical cancer program,
−Removed: have been completed.
−Removed: Tali Siegal has been selected as the primary investigator, and the protocol is currently under review by the
−Removed: hospital’s internal review board (IRB).
−Removed: The Israeli Ministry of Health, Center for Cannabis (Yakar) has given preliminary approval,
−Removed: and Enveric is currently awaiting its primary approval.
−Removed: intend to conduct a clinical study to validate the efficacy of topical cream or oral medication infused with high-potency CBD and/or

−Removed: Potential Development Projects
−Removed: Care Product Candidates
−Removed: the future, we may also develop additional prescription medicines that are derived from natural sources that are targeted to major cancer
−Removed: treatment side effects, including other skin conditions, cancer-related distress, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), lack
−Removed: of appetite, pain, and insomnia.
−Removed: many patients, the concept of palliative care often carries a negative connotation, conjuring ideas and fears of the end of life.
−Removed: the purpose of palliative care is to improve the patient experience and reduce suffering in all areas of life, including physical, emotional,
−Removed: psychological, and spiritual well-being.
−Removed: In fact, incorporating palliative care into cancer management has the potential to not only
−Removed: improve quality of life, but may also prolong survival (Temei, NEJM, 2010;
−Removed: Ferrell, J Clin Oncol, 2017).
−Removed: We avoid the negative connotations
−Removed: of palliative care by using the term “supportive care”.
−Removed: physical ailments experienced by cancer patients vary widely based on the individual, the type and stage of cancer, and the choice of
−Removed: Three of the most common and perhaps most debilitating complaints addressed by palliative care are chronic pain, chemotherapy-induced
−Removed: nausea and vomiting, and severe body wasting (Reeve, JNCI, 2014).
−Removed: Although efforts have been made to ameliorate these symptoms, many
−Removed: patients do not achieve adequate relief.
−Removed: The need for new therapeutics to improve these debilitating symptoms has gained increasing attention
−Removed: in recent years.
−Removed: seek to advance novel treatment for cancer based on a combination of cannabidiol (CBD) and chemotherapeutic agents, including clomiphene,
−Removed: an anti-estrogen binding site (AEBS) inhibitor, which can regulate cell growth, with a potential for activity in multiple cancer cell
−Removed: lines, including breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and acute myeloid leukemia.
−Removed: data suggests that combination therapies may improve the activity of certain chemotherapies or dendritic cell-based cancer immunotherapies,
−Removed: potentially enabling more potent or longer-lasting therapeutic effects.
−Removed: In multiple in vitro and in vivo models of solid
−Removed: tumors and blood cancers, CBD has been shown to reduce tumor size, potential for invasion and metastasis, and development of new tumor-associated
−Removed: blood vessels.
−Removed: In combination with CBD, clomiphene has been shown to reduce cell viability and increase rates of programmed cell death
−Removed: in certain cancer cell lines, while also inhibiting tumor growth in vivo .
−Removed: cancer cells contain largely the same proteins and other targets as the healthy cells in the body, there are few cancer-specific druggable
−Removed: chemotherapies often simply target all rapidly proliferating cells in the body.
−Removed: While chemotherapy can be successful in suppressing
−Removed: tumors, there are many side effects associated with use;
−Removed: side effects may increase with higher doses.
−Removed: The ability to provide the same
−Removed: or greater therapeutic effect with a smaller overall dose of the chemotherapeutic agent may minimize the risk and severity of side effects
−Removed: in subjects and allow for the treatment of certain patients with weakened immune systems.
−Removed: Combination with AEBS Inhibitors
−Removed: use of cannabis in cancer management has traditionally been relegated to symptomatic management, including as an analgesic, anti-emetic,
−Removed: and appetite stimulant.
−Removed: However, more recently, mounting evidence has suggested a therapeutic, anti-tumor effect of certain naturally
−Removed: occurring cannabinoids.
−Removed: Specifically, CBD has been shown to reduce tumor size, the potential for invasion and metastasis, and development
−Removed: of new tumor-associated blood vessels in multiple in vitro and in vivo models of solid tumors and blood cancers (Ladin, Front Pharmacol,
−Removed: Massi, Br J Pharmacol, 2013).
−Removed: is also evidence to suggest that CBD used in combination with traditional chemotherapies and a certain class of compounds, the cholesterol
−Removed: epoxide hydrolase (ChEH) / antiestrogen binding site (AEBS) inhibitors, may be more efficacious than CBD alone (Scott, Int J Oncol, 2017).
−Removed: AEBS regulates cholesterol metabolism and, consequently, cell growth (Payre, Mol Cancer Ther, 2008).
−Removed: AEBS inhibitors that we believe may be especially promising are clomiphene citrate and DPPE.
−Removed: Clomiphene is an estrogen modulator typically
−Removed: used to treat infertility.
−Removed: However, in combination with CBD, clomiphene was recently shown to synergistically reduce cell viability and
−Removed: increase rates of programmed cell death in certain cancer cell lines, while also inhibiting tumor growth in vivo (WO2017072773A1).
−Removed: DPPE, on the other hand, is a tamoxifen derivative that is thought to sensitize cancer cells to the activities of chemotherapies.
−Removed: a tumor grows and mutates, cancer cells can become resistant to therapies in several ways –
−Removed: tumors can overexpress efflux pumps
−Removed: that remove certain agents from the cell or can upregulate enzymes that metabolize and inactivate chemotherapies.
−Removed: DPPE was shown to potentiate
−Removed: the toxicity of multiple chemotherapeutic drugs by both mechanisms (Georges, Biochemical Pharm, 2014;
−Removed: Brandes, Cancer Chemother Pharmacol,
−Removed: Combination with Immunotherapies
−Removed: cells (DCs) process antigen material and present it on the cell surface to the T-cells of the immune system.
−Removed: A range of cancer immunotherapies
−Removed: involving DCs have been used to generate tumor-specific immune responses that have had variable success in clinical trials.
−Removed: may cause DCs to increase their production of IL-12 p70, an interleukin-12 (IL-12) family cytokine that may heighten the immune system’s
−Removed: response against certain cancers.
−Removed: IL-12 is closely linked to the activity of the immune system and is produced by DCs.
−Removed: IL-12 can bring
−Removed: T-cells and natural killer cells out of dormancy so that a heightened immune response against tumors is possible.
−Removed: By aiding in the generation
−Removed: of CD4+ (T helper cells), IL-12 also can also elicit a longer lasting and amplified anti-tumor response.
−Removed: IL-12 has presented challenges in terms of its toxicity and dosage control and there is a need for generating heightened levels of IL-12,
−Removed: particularly in immunocompromised patients.
−Removed: Preclinical research suggests that CBD may induce DCs to increase their production of IL-12
