Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

SARASOTA, FL, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silo Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILO) (“Silo” or the “Company”), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel formulations and drug delivery systems for traditional therapeutics and psychedelic treatments, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a Notice of Allowance for patent application 17/954,864 for “Pharmacological Prophylactics Against Stress-Induced Affective Disorders in Females.” Following receipt of the Notice of Allowance, Silo filed the final issue paperwork, paid the issue fees, and expects formal issuance of the patent in the next 90 days

The patent, when formally approved, will reinforce protection for Silo’s lead asset, SPC-15, an intranasal treatment targeting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The patent includes newly added claims to U.S. Patent 11,491,120, which was issued to Silo in February 2023.

“We are pleased to kick off 2025 with this expected addition to our intellectual property portfolio. The approval of this patent broadens protection for SPC-15 and expands our technology rights,” said Eric Weisblum, CEO of Silo.

Silo holds an exclusive license agreement with Columbia University to further develop, manufacture, and commercialize SPC-15 globally. Through the agreement, Silo acquired extensive issued patents and pending IP patent applications for SPC-15 technology.

About SPC-15

SPC-15 is a serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist designed to treat stress-induced disorders such as PTSD and anxiety. Delivered via an intranasal formulation, SPC-15 may qualify for the FDA’s streamlined 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, potentially accelerating its approval process. Currently, Silo Pharma is collaborating with Columbia University on preclinical studies and holds exclusive rights to develop and commercialize SPC-15 globally.
