MIRA-55
What is MIRA-55?
A Novel breakthrough Oral Pharmaceutical Marijuana with the potential for enhanced therapeutic effects compared to THC
MIRA-55 is being developed to be the first prescription drug to target the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 for anxiety and cognitive enhancements without the impurities of marijuana or its side effects such as increased appetite and paranoia.
Novel
New molecular entity patent pending globally.
Synthetic
Manufactured rather than extracted or purified.
Cannabinoid
Combines the best potential benefits of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) and neutralizes their side effects.
Analog
Its novel structure and properties are different from existing cannabinoids.
Making a Better Molecule
MIRA-55, a revolutionary new compound, solves three central challenges in cannabinoid drug development.
- How to enhance the beneficial effects of THC and CBD compounds.
- How to combine the optimal effects of both compounds.
- How to minimize the negative effects of THC.
MIRA-55 answers these challenges with a single powerful molecule that’s different from THC and CBD while combining the well-known therapeutic potential of both.
The Challenge with CBD and THC
Originally derived from the cannabis plant in the form of marijuana, THC and CBD have been used as medicine for millennia. Marijuana or natural cannabis contains several times more THC than CBD.
While THC and CBD have nearly identical molecular structures, they interact differently with the body’s endocannabinoid system to cause unique effects. THC can cause unwanted side effects.
CBD
CBD does not bring about these negative side effects and may actually help counteract them. CBD has been shown to help treat anxiety, pain and seizures.
THC
THC can bring about a “high” or feeling of euphoria. But for some, it can also lead to negative moods, impaired memory, increased appetite and paranoia.
The Potential Benefits of MIRA-55
