On Wednesday, Mira Pharmaceuticals submitted an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission revealing new preclinical results for Mira-55, its proprietary non-psychotropic marijuana compound.
The study found that orally administered Mira-55 reduced inflammation and normalized pain levels, outperforming injected morphine in an animal model of chronic inflammatory pain.
In preclinical studies, oral Mira-55 was shown to restore pain sensitivity to normal levels and performed better than injected morphine in reducing pain caused by formalin. It also significantly reduced inflammation by targeting CB2 receptors, whereas morphine only partially reduced swelling through indirect effects on the central nervous system.
The results support the Florida-based company's plans to move forward with an Investigational New Drug application for chronic inflammatory pain.
In its filing, MIRA highlighted the $70 billion non-opioid pain market as a key opportunity.
