Item
7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On
July 6, 2026, MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing positive results from preclinical
studies evaluating the optimized oral formulation of SKNY-1, the Company’s oral drug candidate being developed for obesity and
addiction-related disorders.
The
studies demonstrated favorable oral bioavailability together with reproducible systemic exposure and robust brain penetration, and substantial
liver exposure following oral administration. Peak plasma concentrations and kinetics supported the potential for convenient once-daily
oral dosing.
The
Company believes these pharmacokinetic findings further strengthen the development profile of SKNY-1 by demonstrating that the optimized
oral formulation delivers meaningful systemic exposure together with distribution into pharmacologically relevant tissues. These findings
complement the Company’s previously reported preclinical efficacy and behavioral studies demonstrating significant reductions in
body weight, preservation of lean body mass, improvements in metabolic parameters, attenuation of compulsive feeding and nicotine-seeking
behaviors, and evidence that SKNY-1 did not produce anxiety-related behavioral effects in a validated preclinical
model despite demonstrated cannabinoid receptor activity.
A
copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The
information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes
of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities
of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the

Pharmaceuticals Reports Successful Formulation Results for SKNY-1, its Oral Drug Candidate for Obesity and Addiction
New
Preclinical Data Demonstrate Favorable Oral Bioavailability, Robust Brain Penetration and Liver Exposure with Once-Daily Dosing Potential
MIAMI,
FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 6, 2026 / MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIRA) (“MIRA” or the “Company”),
a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, today announced positive results from preclinical studies evaluating the optimized oral formulation
of SKNY-1, the Company’s oral drug candidate being developed for obesity and addiction-related disorders.
The
studies demonstrated favorable oral bioavailability together with reproducible systemic exposure and robust brain penetration, and substantial
liver exposure following oral administration. Peak plasma concentrations were observed approximately six to twelve hours after dosing,
supporting the potential for convenient once-daily oral dosing. Collectively, these findings further strengthen the development profile
of SKNY-1 by demonstrating that the compound combines meaningful pharmacologic activity observed in previously reported efficacy studies
with pharmacokinetic characteristics that support continued development as an orally administered therapeutic.
“We
believe the next generation of obesity therapies should not only help patients lose weight, but also preserve lean body mass, support
long-term metabolic health, and provide the convenience of oral administration,” said Erez Aminov, CEO of MIRA. “These
formulation and pharmacokinetic findings further strengthen our confidence in SKNY-1 as a differentiated oral drug candidate designed
to address both obesity and addiction through a novel mechanism.”
The
objective of the study was to optimize the oral formulation of SKNY-1 and evaluate its pharmacokinetic profile, oral bioavailability,
and tissue distribution following oral administration. Multiple oral formulations were evaluated in a preclinical pharmacokinetic study
to identify an optimized formulation that provides reproducible systemic exposure together with meaningful distribution into pharmacologically
relevant target tissues.
Importantly,
SKNY-1 demonstrated robust brain penetration and substantial liver exposure following oral administration. Detectable tissue exposure
was consistently observed across multiple animals, supporting reliable and reproducible distribution into target organs.
The
simultaneous exposure of both the central nervous system and liver is particularly significant because these organs regulate complementary
aspects of appetite, reward signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Brain penetration may support modulation of neuronal circuits involved
in appetite, satiety, and reward-associated behaviors, while liver exposure may contribute to regulation of lipid metabolism, glucose
homeostasis, and energy utilization previously observed in preclinical efficacy studies.
Importantly,
robust brain penetration was achieved while maintaining a differentiated central nervous system profile. As previously reported by the
Company, SKNY-1 was devoid of anxiety-related behavior in a validated preclinical cannabinoid behavioral model despite engaging central
cannabinoid pathways. These findings distinguish SKNY-1 from earlier CB1-targeting therapies, including rimonabant, which were associated
with significant neuropsychiatric adverse effects.
SKNY-1
was designed with a differentiated pharmacological profile combining biased CB1 receptor modulation, partial CB2 receptor agonism, and
selective MAO-B inhibition without MAO-A inhibition. The Company believes this differentiated pharmacology may allow engagement of central
pathways involved in appetite regulation and reward signaling while potentially avoiding the psychiatric limitations that restricted
earlier CB1-targeting therapies.
“Earlier
CB1-targeting therapies demonstrated the importance of the pathway, but their development was ultimately limited by neuropsychiatric
side effects,” said Itzchak Angel, Ph.D., CSA of MIRA. “The combination of robust brain penetration together with
our previously reported behavioral findings reinforces the differentiated pharmacological profile of SKNY-1 and supports its continued
development as a potential next-generation therapy targeting the endocannabinoid system.”
The
pharmacokinetic findings complement MIRA’s recently published peer-reviewed preclinical studies demonstrating that SKNY-1 produced
significant reductions in body weight, preserved lean body mass, improved lipid parameters, reduced hepatic triglyceride accumulation,
and attenuated compulsive feeding and nicotine-seeking behaviors in validated experimental models of obesity. Taken together, the efficacy,
behavioral, mechanistic, and pharmacokinetic findings continue to strengthen the overall development package supporting SKNY-1 as a differentiated
oral therapeutic candidate.
Key
Study Highlights
● Optimized
oral formulation demonstrated favorable oral bioavailability following oral administration.
● Pharmacokinetic
profile supports the potential for convenient once-daily oral dosing.
● Robust
brain penetration and substantial liver exposure following oral administration.
● Reproducible
systemic exposure and target tissue distribution across multiple animals.
● Findings
complement previously reported efficacy, behavioral, mechanistic, and pharmacokinetic studies
supporting SKNY-1’s differentiated development profile.
The
Company plans to continue evaluating the relationship between tissue exposure, pharmacodynamic activity, and therapeutic efficacy as
SKNY-1 advances through additional preclinical development.
About
SKNY-1
SKNY-1
is an orally administered investigational drug candidate designed to modulate multiple pathways associated with metabolic regulation
and reward-associated behaviors. The compound was designed to combine pathway-selective CB1 modulation, CB2 receptor activity, and selective
MAO-B inhibition. In preclinical studies, oral administration of SKNY-1 was associated with dose-dependent reductions in body weight
and lipid normalization, with no significant reduction in whole-body density observed during the treatment period - a finding relevant
in the context of ongoing clinical focus on lean body mass preservation during weight reduction. SKNY-1 has not been approved by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other regulatory authority, and its safety and efficacy have not been established in humans.
