Insights

Medical Research Analyst

The grant of this patent in India marks a significant milestone for MangoRx's global expansion strategy. The technology's potential to combat a wide range of infections, including respiratory diseases and HPV, could have far-reaching implications for public health. The 20-year patent protection until 2040 provides a substantial runway for commercialization.

The ongoing clinical trials with Vipragen Biosciences are particularly noteworthy. If successful, they could validate the efficacy of the GALALCOOL®️-based formulation against respiratory illnesses, potentially opening up a lucrative market in India, where respiratory diseases are prevalent. The possibility of expanding trials to include the H5N1 strain addresses a critical global health concern, given the recurring threat of avian influenza outbreaks.

However, investors should note that clinical trial outcomes are uncertain and success in trials doesn't guarantee market success. The competitive landscape and regulatory hurdles in India's pharmaceutical market will be important factors to monitor.

Financial Analyst

This patent grant strengthens MangoRx's intellectual property portfolio, potentially enhancing the company's long-term value. The Indian market, with its population of over 1.4 billion, represents a significant opportunity for revenue growth. However, it's important to note that the financial impact is not immediate and depends on successful commercialization.

Investors should consider that while the patent offers protection until 2040, the path to profitability may be long. R&D costs, clinical trial expenses and marketing investments could impact short-term financials. The company's ability to secure partnerships or licensing agreements in India could be important for monetizing this patent.

Additionally, the diversification into preventive care technology from MangoRx's core focus on men's health products represents both an opportunity and a risk. It could open new revenue streams but also requires careful resource allocation and management focus.

Market Research Analyst

The Indian healthcare market presents a substantial opportunity for MangoRx. With a growing middle class and increasing health awareness, the demand for preventive care products is on the rise. The patent's coverage of common ailments like colds and respiratory diseases aligns well with consumer needs in India.

However, the market entry strategy will be crucial. India's pharmaceutical market is highly competitive, with strong local players and price-sensitive consumers. MangoRx will need to carefully consider its pricing and distribution strategies to gain traction.

The potential expansion into avian influenza prevention could be a game-changer, given India's vulnerability to such outbreaks. This could position MangoRx as a key player in public health initiatives, potentially leading to government contracts or partnerships.

Investors should watch for MangoRx's go-to-market plans in India and any partnerships with local healthcare providers or pharmacies, as these will be critical indicators of the company's ability to capitalize on this patent.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mangoceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGRX) (“MangoRx” or the “Company”), a company focused on developing, marketing, and selling a variety of men’s health and wellness products in the area of erectile dysfunction (ED), hair growth, weight loss, and hormone replacement therapies, is pleased to announce that it has received a Certificate of Grant and recordal of patent under section 43 of the Patents Act in respect of patent application no. 202117034253 with the Government of India, originally applied for by Intramont Technologies, Inc. (“Intramont”).

The duration of the patent granted in India is twenty (20) years from the effective filing date of the application, or until March 16, 2040.

This significant milestone follows MangoRx’s recent acquisition of the comprehensive global patent portfolio from Intramont Technologies. The Certificate of Grant covers the proprietary formulation and application methods designed to combat a wide range of infections, including common colds, respiratory diseases, and orally transmitted infections such as human papillomavirus (HPV). The US patent (Patent 11,517,523) was initially applied for by Intramont and subsequently acquired by MangoRx on April 24, 2024, further expanding the global protection for its groundbreaking preventive care technology.

Jacob Cohen, Co-Founder and CEO of MangoRx, expressed his enthusiasm about this achievement: “Receiving this Certificate of Grant in India is a critical step in our global strategy to protect and commercialize our innovative preventive care technology. It underscores our commitment to expanding our reach and providing advanced preventive care solutions to a broader audience. This patent not only fortifies our intellectual property but also paves the way for introducing our cutting-edge products to the market in India.”

The patented technology is designed to prevent illnesses acquired through the oral cavity and pharynx using an orally available solution, such as toothpaste, oral dissolvable tablets (ODT), lozenges, or mouthwash. The unique formulation features GALALCOOL^®️, zinc protoporphyrin IX, and select tannins, which work synergistically to inhibit various pathogens, offering comprehensive protection against oral and respiratory infections.

In parallel with this patent grant, MangoRx and Intramont have initiated clinical trials for this technology, collaborating with Vipragen Biosciences in India. These trials aim to demonstrate the efficacy of the formulation in preventing respiratory illnesses, with results expected later this quarter. The study focuses on evaluating the technology’s prophylactic performance against select viral strains, including H1N1, with the potential to expand into further trials involving the H5N1 strain to address concerns related to avian influenza outbreaks.

This expansion aligns with MangoRx’s mission to enhance well-being through innovative health solutions. The Certificate of Grant in India joins an already robust portfolio of U.S. and international patents, including its recent patent grants in Australia and Japan, reinforcing MangoRx’s position of becoming a leader in the preventive health sector.
