ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ – April 19, 2023 – Silo Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: SILO) (“the Company”), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research, today announced that it has commenced development of a novel formulation as a targeted prophylactic treatment, designated as SPC-15, intended for stress, anxiety, and PTSD.

Development of the drug formulation is pursuant to the Company’s sponsored research agreement with Columbia University. Preclinical studies in the field suggest that SPC-15 could be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of cognitive impairment, PTSD, and stress-related disorders.

“We are advancing our development of SPC-15 through this formulation and feasibility study investigating dose strengths and delivery,” said Eric Weisblum, Chief Executive Officer of Silo Pharma. “The SPC-15 treatment protocol predicts levels of severity or progression of stress-related disorders and their metabolomic biomarkers’ response to pharmacological treatments. Based on our own research to date coupled with published preclinical data, we believe SPC-15 could have a profound impact on treating stress and anxiety disorders including PTSD, we will further use this data to help us with our upcoming studies related to SPC-14 Alzheimer’s asset.”

Targeted by SPC-15, anxiety, PTSD, and other stress-related disorders are becoming more frequent in Americans aged 18+. According to the World Health Organization in 2019, 300+ million people were living with an anxiety disorder, and according to the National Center for PTSD, around 12 million adults in the U.S. alone are reported to have PTSD.^, According to Fortune Business Insights, the global treatment market size for anxiety disorders and depression is projected to reach $13.0 billion in 2027.
