The Potential Of Ketamir-2: A Safer Treatment For Mental Health Disorders And Neuropathic Pain, IND Filing Expected By Year-End

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Treating mental health is constantly evolving, bringing new therapies and hope to people battling depression, treatment-resistant depression (TRD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other neuropsychiatric conditions. Not all therapies work for everyone, but sometimes an exciting treatment emerges. Ketamine, originally developed as an anesthetic, falls into that category. In recent years, it has been repurposed as a rapid-acting antidepressant, particularly for patients who have not responded to conventional treatments. While often effective, ketamine’s widespread use has been limited by its side effects and low oral bioavailability. Traditional ketamine requires intravenous or intranasal administration, which can be inconvenient and impractical for at-home treatment. Additionally, ketamine’s interaction with multiple receptor sites in the brain can lead to unwanted side effects such as dissociation, hallucinations and, in some cases, psychotic symptoms. Tweaking Ketamine But that doesn’t mean ketamine has to be written off as a new treatment for mental health. It just needs to be tweaked. That’s where MIRA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MIRA) and Ketamir-2 come in. A pre-clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, MIRA is refining this treatment with its oral ketamine analog, Ketamir-2. MIRA Pharmaceuticals says Ketamir-2 is a groundbreaking compound that has the potential to revolutionize the way mental health disorders and neuropathic pain are treated, offering a safer and more effective alternative to traditional therapies. The company is on track to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application by the end of the year, marking what it says is a significant milestone in bringing Ketamir-2 closer to clinical trials. Ketamir-2 is designed to overcome the challenges of existing ketamine treatments by creating an agent that is more targeted. Ketamir-2 selectively inhibits the NMDA receptor at the PCP-binding site with 30 to 50 times lower affinity than traditional ketamine. This selective inhibition can reduce the risk of dissociation and hallucinations, providing a cleaner, safer therapeutic experience for patients. Preclinical studies have so far found that Ketamir-2 offers a superior safety profile compared to traditional ketamine. MIRA Pharmaceuticals said one of the most significant findings is that Ketamir-2 does not induce hyper-locomotor activity – a behavior associated with psychotic symptoms – making it a potentially safer option for patients. Better Oral Absorption Could Be Game-changing Another discovery MIRA Pharmaceuticals reports, is Ketamir-2’s non-substrate status for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a membrane protein that typically limits drug entry into the brain. This means that Ketamir-2 can more effectively cross the blood-brain barrier, leading to better oral absorption and higher efficacy at lower doses. This feature is particularly important for patients seeking convenient, at-home treatment options. On top of all that, MIRA Pharmaceuticals says Ketamir-2’s principal metabolite, Nor-Ketamir, boasts nearly 100% oral bioavailability and sustained plasma residence. This means that once Ketamir-2 is administered orally, it is efficiently metabolized into Nor-Ketamir, which remains in the bloodstream longer, providing extended therapeutic effects. The development of Ketamir-2 Pamoate, a new salt form, further enhances these benefits by ensuring higher plasma and brain levels with a longer half-life, reports the company. Treating Chronic Pain Too Beyond depression and mental health issues, MIRA Pharmaceuticals said studies are ongoing to assess Ketamir-2’s effectiveness in treating neuropathic pain, a chronic and debilitating condition that has an estimated prevalence of 6.9% to 10% worldwide. The dual potential of Ketamir-2 to address both mental health disorders and neuropathic pain could represent a significant advancement in patient care, offering a versatile and effective treatment option. The potential of Ketamir-2 and Nor-Ketamir to offer effective, at-home treatment options for mental health disorders and neuropathic pain could prove to be a game-changer. The convenience of oral administration, combined with the drug’s safety and efficacy, could significantly improve patient adherence to treatment and overall outcomes. Further, the company says toxicology studies have validated Ketamir-2’s safety profile, with no observed toxicity at very high doses in animal models. Ketamine holds a lot of promise in treating mental health but the side effects are limiting adoption. Ketamir-2 could change that by addressing the limitations of traditional ketamine and offering a safer, more effective alternative. If the preclinical trials are any indication, Ketamir-2 could provide hope for many sufferers. For more information about MIRA Pharmaceuticals and its novel compounds, visit MIRA Pharmaceuticals.

Nvidia Is Up Over 150% YTD, But Some Are Flagging Risks – Trade Your Expectation Either Way With REX Shares Leveraged ETFs

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga When it comes to artificial intelligence and machine learning, chip maker Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has become synonymous with this game-changing and transformative technology. However, it wasn’t always that way. Years ago, Nvidia was known solely for making graphic chips. Recognizing early on the impact AI will have, it shifted focus and never looked back. Since then, Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia has been trailblazing in the AI market, churning out graphic chips that power many of these advanced models. Virtually every technology company, including Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) use Nvidia chips. At last check, Nvidia was sporting a market capitalization of over $3 trillion. Year-to-date shares are up more than 160%. Over the past five years, it has gained over 3,000%. Earnings On The Horizon Among factors impacting the stock over the past few days is anticipation ahead of the company’s fiscal second-quarter earnings, which Nvidia is slated to report after the close of trading on August 28. Wall Street expects Nvidia to weigh in with EPS of $0.59 per share, which is much higher than the $0.25 Nvidia reported in the year-ago fiscal second quarter. If Nvidia is able to beat that number or post a rosier-than-expected outlook for the remainder of this year and beyond, it could drive the stock higher. Bulls argue Nvidia’s line up of AI chips and processors, which it rolls out on a staggered basis, will be enough to maintain its leading market share position next year and beyond. Bears, however, point to reported delays in its next line of AI chips – dubbed Blackwell processors – as a sign something is amiss. These chips are supposed to be faster and cheaper, but reports have emerged that they are delayed because of design flaws. Investors and analysts will be paying close attention to what Nvidia has to say on that front when it reports earnings. “While the reported delay in Nvidia's Blackwell (i.e., next-generation GPU architecture) could lead to some near-term volatility in fundamentals, we expect management commentary, coupled with supply-chain data points over the coming weeks, to lead to higher conviction regarding Nvidia's earnings power in 2025,” Goldman Sachs wrote in a recent research report. "Importantly, we believe customer demand across large cloud service providers and enterprises is strong, and Nvidia’s robust competitive position in AI/accelerated computing remains intact.” Experiencing Both Worlds With REX Shares ETFs If Nvidia disappoints or offers up a murky outlook, shares could be under pressure. If it beats expectations and signals all is well on the Blackwell front, shares may soar. Whichever way traders believe the much-talked-about stock will go, REX Shares Nvidia-focused ETFs offer the opportunity for traders to potentially profit off their expectations. These leveraged ETFs are funds that use debt or derivatives to increase the returns on the stock. They can potentially generate quicker and larger returns than the tracked asset and provide a way for investors to hedge against a stock going up or down, while at the same time carrying more risk as leveraged instruments. To learn more about leveraged ETFs and what REX Shares has to offer, click here. REX Shares’ T-REX 2X Long NVIDIA Daily Target ETF’s (BATS: NVDX) objective is to magnify the daily performance of the publicly traded common stock of Nvidia toward the upside. The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the daily performance of NVDA. The fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different from a trading day. Year-to-date, the fund is up more than 350% as of Aug 20. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling 844-802-4004. Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. The T-REX 2X Inverse NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (BATS: NVDQ), on the other hand, seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the inverse (or opposite) of the daily performance of NVDA. With these two ETFs bears and bulls can get in on the Nvidia journey upward – or downward. For those who would rather play it straighter, REX Shares also offers the REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF (BATS: FEPI), which combines big tech stock exposure and potential for income in a covered call ETF. Among the top holdings of the fund are Nvidia, Amazon, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Salesforce.com Inc. (NYSE: CRM). When it comes to investing in Nvidia, it may not be for the faint-hearted. The stock has been soaring, but there are also times of volatility. Investors looking to short or long Nvidia can do so with REX Shares ETFs. NVDX and NVDQ do not seek to achieve their stated investment objectives for a period of time different than a trading day. Investing in the Funds is not equivalent to investing directly in NVDA. The Funds are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. Check out 2x leveraged NVDA ETFs here!

FOR NVDX STANDARDIZED FUND RETURNS: https://www.rexshares.com/nvdx/ An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the REX Shares. To obtain a Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus call 844-802-4004. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Investing in a REX Shares ETF may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by a Fund increases the risk to the Fund. The REX Shares ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leveraged, or daily inverse leveraged, investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. NVIDIA Corporation Investing Risk — NVIDIA Corporation faces risks associated with meeting the evolving needs of its large markets – gaming, data center, professional visualization and automotive – and identifying new products, services and technologies; competition in its current and target markets; changes in customer demand. Important Information Regarding 2X NVDA Fund. The T-REX 2x Long NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (NVDX) seeks 2X% daily leveraged investment results and thus will have an increase of volatility relative to the NVDA performance itself. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of NVDA and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of NVDA may affect the fund’s performance. Important Information Regarding -2X NVDA Fund. The T-REX 2X Inverse NVDA Daily Target ETF (NVDQ) seeks daily inverse investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. Longer holding periods and higher volatility of NVDA increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of NVDA may affect the fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of NVDA. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Distributor: Foreside Fund Services, LLC, member FINRA, not affiliated with REX Shares or the Funds’ investment advisor.

Lado Okhotnikov, CEO of Meta Force presented a pilot release of the superhero comic and talked about further developments

Cartel Blue, Inc

In early July 2024, Meta Force released a pilot of the superhero comic and announced ambitious plans to create its own Cinematic Universe (or Extended Universe, or in this case MFEU). Meta Force is a company developing its blockchain-based metaverse Neo Dao. The implementation of a creative project may have seemed like a marketing move, but Lado Okhotnikov, CEO of Meta Force announced plans to release a comic series and create a large-scale MFEU. Lado Okhotnikov presents the comic: Heroes of the New Generation Currently, there is a very well-established idea of what a superhero should be. Marvel, DC, and Japanese manga dominate the media, forming “right” character images. The heroes proposed by Meta Force depart from traditions and stereotypes, they operate in a new world where metaverses become part of our lives. And this is no longer the assumption nor a creative idea of the writers, but reality. The superhero of the Neo Dao metaverse largely transmits the ideas and beliefs of Lado Okhotnikov himself, and the comic book, among others, becomes manifest. Moreover, the pilot is partly autobiographical, similar events happened in the life of the founder of Meta Force, and many heroes have real prototypes. All this is well described by the Meta Force’s slogan: “Virtuality meets reality”. The first pilot gives a general idea of the new hero. He receives superpowers not by chance, not as a gift of fate, but as a result of work and self-improvement. Evil also appears not in the form of traditional villains, but as something mysterious and existential, secretly governing our civilization. The main character’s mission is not so much to defeat enemies physically, but to maintain the balance of the Universe. The main character, Mr. Dao, is philosophical, and charismatic, and has a unique style, in the story, action is successfully combined with reflections. MFEU The basic initial element of modern cineverses was a comic book, around it new formats were built such as cartoons, series, and feature films. That’s how Marvel and DC started. Lado Okhotnikov emphasizes that the comic is the first step in creating its own MFEU. The release dates of the comic continuation and new formats are not specified, it is claimed that this will be soon. About Company Meta Force is the company that created the DeFi platform and developer of Neo Dao metaverse. In two years of operation, the number of users exceeded two million. Lado Okhotnikov is the founder and CEO of Meta Force.

How Seniors Can Benefit from Flip Phones

Spark Metro

In a world increasingly dominated by smartphones and constant connectivity, the simplicity of flip phones remains a compelling choice, particularly for seniors. While modern smartphones offer a multitude of features, their complexity can often be overwhelming for those who prioritize ease of use and straightforward functionality. For seniors, the balance between staying connected and maintaining simplicity is crucial, making flip phones an ideal solution. This article explores the many advantages of flip phones for seniors, highlighting how these devices offer a perfect blend of traditional simplicity and modern technology. The Appeal of Simplicity One of the most significant advantages of flip phones for seniors is their simplicity. Unlike smartphones, which require navigating complex menus and apps, flip phones offer a more straightforward interface. The act of flipping open the phone to answer a call and closing it to hang up is intuitive and familiar, providing a sense of nostalgia and comfort to many users. This simplicity reduces the learning curve, allowing seniors to use their phones confidently without needing extensive technical knowledge. Moreover, the tactile buttons on flip phones are often larger and more spaced out than those on smartphones, making them easier to press. This is particularly important for seniors who may struggle with dexterity or have vision impairments. The physical feedback of pressing a button, as opposed to the touchscreens of smartphones, adds to the ease of use, ensuring that seniors can make calls and send texts with minimal frustration. Enhanced Security and Privacy Another key advantage of flip phones for seniors is the enhanced security and privacy they offer. Smartphones are often vulnerable to various security threats, from phishing scams to malware, due to their internet connectivity and app usage. In contrast, flip phones have limited internet capabilities, significantly reducing the risk of cyber threats. For seniors who may not be as tech-savvy or aware of online risks, this limitation becomes a protective feature. Furthermore, flip phones typically do not store as much personal information as smartphones, which decreases the potential impact of losing the device. Seniors can feel more secure knowing that their personal data is less likely to be compromised if their phone is misplaced or stolen. This peace of mind is invaluable for those who prioritize security and privacy. Superior Battery Life Battery life is another area where flip phones excel, making them particularly well-suited for seniors. Smartphones are notorious for their relatively short battery life, often requiring daily charging due to their power-hungry apps and features. On the other hand, flip phones are designed with efficiency in mind, and their limited features contribute to significantly longer battery life. For seniors, the ability to go several days without needing to charge their phone is a major advantage. It reduces the hassle of constantly monitoring battery levels and ensures that their phone is always ready for use, particularly in emergencies. This reliability is a crucial factor for seniors who may not want to worry about their phone dying at an inconvenient time. Durability and Robust Design Flip phones are also known for their durability, a feature that is particularly important for seniors. The robust design of flip phones makes them less susceptible to damage from drops and other accidents, which are common concerns for users of all ages. The clamshell design not only protects the screen when the phone is closed but also adds a layer of protection against everyday wear and tear. This durability means that seniors can use their flip phones for extended periods without the need for frequent repairs or replacements. The sturdy construction of flip phones also makes them easier to handle, reducing the likelihood of accidental drops. For seniors, the combination of durability and ease of use ensures that their phone remains a reliable companion in their daily lives. Choosing the Right Flip Phone When selecting a flip phone for a senior, it's essential to consider specific features that cater to their needs. User-friendly features, reliable service, and a robust design are all critical factors to ensure that the phone meets their requirements. For instance, the Consumer Cellular IRIS Flip is an excellent option for seniors, offering a range of features designed with ease of use in mind. The large, easy-to-read display, intuitive navigation, and enhanced sound quality make it particularly suitable for those with vision or hearing impairments. Additionally, the IRIS Flip includes emergency response features, providing an added layer of security for seniors who may need assistance quickly. Its durable design ensures that it can withstand daily use, while the extended battery life means that seniors can rely on their phone to be ready when they need it most. The Importance of Reliable Service In addition to selecting a phone with the right features, it's also crucial to choose a provider that offers reliable service. For seniors, having a dependable network is essential for staying connected with family, friends, and emergency services. When considering a flip phone, ensure that the provider offers strong coverage in your area and has a reputation for excellent customer service. A good provider will also offer flexible plans that cater to the needs of seniors, such as low-cost options for those who primarily use their phone for calls and texts. This flexibility ensures that seniors are not paying for features they do not need, making their phone plan more affordable and tailored to their usage patterns. The Modern Benefits of a Traditional Design While flip phones may seem like a relic of the past, they continue to offer significant advantages in the digital age, especially for seniors. Their simplicity, enhanced security, superior battery life, and durability make them an attractive option for those who value straightforward, reliable communication. In addition to these benefits, modern flip phones have incorporated certain technological advancements that enhance their functionality without compromising their user-friendly design. Features such as voice commands, text-to-speech, and enhanced sound quality have been integrated into many flip phones, providing seniors with the convenience of modern technology while maintaining the simplicity they prefer. Conclusion For seniors, the choice of a mobile phone should prioritize ease of use, reliability, and security. Flip phones, with their intuitive design and practical features, offer a compelling solution that meets these needs. While smartphones dominate the market with their endless apps and features, the straightforward nature of flip phones provides a refreshing alternative, ensuring that seniors can stay connected without the complexity and distractions of more advanced devices. The Consumer Cellular IRIS Flip exemplifies the best of both worlds, combining the simplicity of a flip phone with carefully selected modern features that enhance usability and safety. By choosing the right flip phone, seniors can enjoy the benefits of staying connected while maintaining control over their digital experience.
