SPRC SciSparc Ltd

 SciSparc Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPRC), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system (the "Company" or "SciSparc"), today announced positive safety profile results from its joint pre-clinical trial with Clearmind Medicine Inc. (“Clearmind”) (CSE: CMND), (OTC: CMNDF), (FSE: CWY0), a psychedelic pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve widespread and underserved health problems. The trial tested the proprietary combination of SciSparc's CannAmide™ with Clearmind's psychedelic molecule, MEAI, for alcohol consumption.

A histopathology assessment was conducted on several organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, pancreas, spleen, and thyroid gland) from all experiment groups (n=3-5 per group) to determine the safety of the proprietary combination of MEAI and CannAmide™ versus control (mice) that were not exposed to alcohol). The severity of changes was scored by a 5-point scale by a qualified blinded toxicologist (Schafer et al., Toxicol Pathol 2018, 46:256-265). The results indicated a high safety profile of the combination treatment with no treatment-related changes observed.

Oz Adler, SciSparc's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with these latest results that confirm the high safety profile of the psychedelic combination treatment. Previous testing results showed high efficacy potential in treating alcoholism when using this combination. We plan on further exploring the safety and efficacy of combining our technology with Clearmind's novel molecule."

Previously announced successful results showed a significant dose dependent effect for the MEAI treatment in reducing alcohol consumption in treated animals, with additional significant effect when combining CannAmide™ with the lower sub-effective MEAI dose.

Results showed that alcohol consumption was significantly reduced following treatment with MEAI at a dose of 40 mg/kg and higher (p<0.01) compared to consumption before treatment. Alcohol consumption was significantly reduced following dual treatment with 25 mg/kg CannAmide™ in addition to MEAI at a dose of 20 mg/kg compared to consumption before treatment. The mice were provided with 20% alcohol solution for 24 hours, three times a week, for seven weeks, and were treated every day with MEAI or MEAI/CannAmide™ during the last two weeks of alcohol treatment. The alcohol consumption was measured by weighing the alcohol bottles before and after; water consumption was measured similarly in parallel.
