SciSparc: NeuroThera Labs Announces Publication of International Patent in Collaboration with Clearmind Medicine for Novel Therapy Targeting Weight Loss and Fatty Liver Disease

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) (“Company” or “SciSparc”), today announced that NeuroThera Labs Inc. (TSXV: NTLX) (“NeuroThera”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel treatments for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, in which SciSparc holds a controlling interest of approximately 75%, has advanced its collaboration with Clearmind Medicine Inc. with the publication of an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for a novel combination therapy aimed at treating weight loss and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly known as fatty liver disease).

The patent publication highlights the potential of a  5-methoxy-2-aminoindane (MEAI)-Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) combination to offer a safe, non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen treatment for two major global health challenges: obesity, affecting over 890 million adults worldwide, and MASLD, impacting approximately 30% of the global adult population. Moreover, due to the presumed mechanism of action of the combination, this therapeutic option may offer a safer, easier and more cost effective option than GLP-1s agonists for obesity and MASLD.

By combining Clearmind’s MEAI platform with NeuroThera’s PEA, the companies wish to address the escalating demand for effective, tolerable and safe treatments in the obesity and liver health space. This comes at a time when the global weight loss drugs market is experiencing rapid growth, which was valued at approximately $37 billion in 2025 and is forecasted to reach $226 billion by 2035, driven by increasing awareness of obesity as a chronic disease and the need for innovative alternatives to GLP-1 agonists.
