Silo Pharma’s SPU-21 Treatment for Autoimmune Disease Awarded U.S. Patent

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ, June 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silo Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILO) (“the Company”), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patent 16/825,371 titled “Peptide-Targeted Liposomal Delivery for Treatment, Diagnosis, and Imaging of Diseases and Disorders.” The new patent claims cover the Company’s portfolio drug SPU-21, a peptide-guided anti-arthritis drug, as a method of selectively targeting inflamed synovial tissue. SPU-21 has been shown to inhibit arthritic progression in a preclinical animal model.

Eric Weisblum, Chief Executive Officer of Silo Pharma, stated, “Our SPU-21 liposomal homing peptides, licensed from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, are able to identify markers of arthritic inflammation in joints and have potential for the development of fusion imaging molecules and/or nanoparticles to study arthritic pathogenesis. The expanded claims in this new patent grant reinforce protection for our ongoing development of SPU-21 guided delivery of targeted psilocybin as a therapeutic agent for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), our initial indication.”

An estimated 1.3 million U.S. adults suffer from RA, the most common autoimmune disease in U.S. The U.S. market for RA drugs is expected to generate $63 billion by 2027.1
