Revive Therapeutics (OTCQB: RVVTF) announced the publication of research demonstrating psilocybin's potential as a novel therapeutic approach for stroke treatment. The study, published in BMC Neuroscience, showed that psilocybin reduced brain infarction and improved locomotor behavior in stroke rats by regulating BDNF expression. The research supports the company's PCT application for using psilocybin to treat neurological brain injury and migraines, acquired from PharmaTher Holdings in February 2021. The company is developing novel delivery methods, including an oral thin-film and microneedle patch for psilocybin administration.

Revive Therapeutics (OTCQB: RVVTF) ha annunciato la pubblicazione di una ricerca che dimostra il potenziale della psilocibina come approccio terapeutico innovativo per il trattamento dell'ictus. Lo studio, pubblicato su BMC Neuroscience, ha mostrato che la psilocibina ha ridotto l'infrazione cerebrale e migliorato il comportamento locomotorio in ratti colpiti da ictus regolando l'espressione del BDNF. La ricerca supporta la domanda di PCT dell'azienda per utilizzare la psilocibina nel trattamento del danno neurologico cerebrale e dell'emicrania, acquisita da PharmaTher Holdings nel febbraio 2021. L'azienda sta sviluppando nuovi metodi di somministrazione, inclusi un film sottile orale e un cerotto con microaghi per la somministrazione della psilocibina.

TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revive Therapeutics Ltd. (“Revive” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: RVVTF) (CSE: RVV) (FRANKFURT:31R), a specialty life sciences company focused on the research and development of therapeutics for infectious diseases, medical countermeasures and rare disorders, today announced the publication of a scientific article demonstrating the potential of psilocybin as a novel therapeutic approach in stroke. The publication, entitled, “Neuroprotective effects of psilocybin in a rat model of stroke,” is published in BMC Neuroscience and is available here.

The research and intellectual property were part of the acquisition of assets from PharmaTher Holdings Ltd (CSE: PHRM) (OTCQB: PHRRF) in February 2021. The research study supported the Company’s PCT application (PCT/CA2021/050360), titled, “Use of Psilocybin in the Treatment of Neurological Brain Injury and Migraines.” The objective of the research study was to determine the protective effect of psilocybin in cellular and animal models of stroke. In the study, psilocybin reduced brain infarction and improved locomotor behavior in stroke rats; the protective mechanisms involve regulating BDNF expression.

Michael Frank, CEO of Revive, commented: “We have a diverse psilocybin-based pharmaceutical program that has been quietly moving forward with the aim of treating neurological, mental health and substance abuse disorders. The publication of the research study demonstrating psilocybin’s therapeutic potential in the treatment of stroke, which is often associated with subsequent depression, validates our strategic initiative to focus on evaluating psilocybin in clinical studies and novel delivery methods, such as our in-development psilocybin oral thin-film and microneedle patch.”
