The first milestone required MitoCareX Bio to establish a cloud-based computing system that would allow it to expand its capacity to include a machine learning system, which would then be used to investigate mitochondrial carriers that are critical for cell viability.
Mitochondrial carriers play a critical role in the transportation of metabolites for cell survival and functions across the inner membranes of the mitochondria. The JV believes it can treat life-threatening conditions like cancer and other rare diseases by regulating mitochondrial carriers' function.
MitoCareX Bio is currently conducting virtual screenings to develop its computation-based drug discovery platform further to allow it to unlock the envisioned machine learning capabilities. The JV’s innovative research is built on successful proof-of-concept experiments in the UK.
It has been a busy two months for SciSparc, which announced its intention to transfer its pharmaceutical activities to a new subsidiary that could be listed on a leading stock exchange while retaining a controlling stake in the firm. The move would allow it to pursue other opportunities and expand its portfolio.
Earlier this week, SciSparc announced that its collaboration with ClearMind has led to multiple patent applications being filed based on the innovative technologies developed by the two firms. The patent applications cover novel proprietary combinations of lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD, psilocybin, N, N-dimethyltryptamine, DMT, and SciSparc's Palmitoylethanolamide, PEA, which is the active ingredient for its proprietary CannAmide.
Investor interest in SciSparc shares was extremely high, with over 14.19 million shares changing hands by the time of publishing.
