NLS Pharmaceutics (NASDAQ:NLSP) has secured a key patent in Japan for Mazindol ER in the treatment of heroin dependence. The patent covers the use of extended-release Mazindol for opioid use disorder, offering a new therapeutic strategy. Mazindol, a tetracyclic compound, has shown promising results in reducing heroin dependence by modulating neurotransmitter systems involved in reward signaling and addiction pathways.

Unlike traditional opioid treatments, Mazindol works by indirectly modulating the brain's reward systems, targeting opioid receptors without inducing the same level of dependence. The sustained-release formulation allows for steady drug release, improving patient compliance and reducing relapse risk. The patent includes eight claims, providing robust protection for Mazindol ER's use in treating opioid dependence in Japan.
