Inflammatory pain
Advancing Toward IND
Preclinical
The Science
MIRA-55 Demonstrated Potent Analgesic Activity
In a validated formalin pain model, MIRA-55 significantly increased pain threshold, with activity comparable to morphine (p<0.01).
Separate Behavioral Assessments
MIRA-55 did not produce THC-like behavioral effects in a separate battery of validated assessments.
Following scientific review, the DEA determined that MIRA-55 is not classified as a controlled substance.
A Different Cannabinoid Profile Than THC
THC is a potent CB1 agonist with more modest activity at CB2. MIRA-55 has a differentiated receptor profile, with potent CB2 agonist activity and more modest CB1 activity.
Status
Advancing MIRA-55 Toward IND
MIRA-55 is advancing through preclinical development, with IND submission targeted for 1H 2027.*
