Item8.01 Other Events

On June 17, MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its lead drug candidate, Ketamir-2, currently being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial for neuropathic pain, has been accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed journalFrontiers in Pharmacology.

The article, titled “KETAMIR-2, A NEW MOLECULAR ENTITY AND NOVEL KETAMINE ANALOG,” authored by the Company’s Chief Scientific Advisor, Dr. Itzchak Angel, will appear in the journal’s Experimental Pharmacology and Drug Discovery section. The publication provides scientific validation of Ketamir-2’s unique pharmacological profile and reinforces its potential as a differentiated oral alternative to traditional ketamine.

Key highlights from the publication include:

Selective, low-affinity NMDA antagonism at the PCP site, with no significant off-target activity across 40+ CNS-related receptors and transporters.
No hyperlocomotion in preclinical models, indicating reduced risk of schizophrenia-like agitation or psychomotor side effects.
Demonstrated antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in validated behavioral assays.
Improved oral bioavailability and brain penetration, supported by preclinical ADME and pharmacokinetic studies indicating the compound is<br> not a P-glycoprotein substrate.

The Company also provided updates on its broader pipeline and clinical development progress:

The<br> ongoing Phase 1 trial of Ketamir-2 is advancing as planned, with dose escalation progressing and no reported safety concerns.
A<br> Phase 2a trial in neuropathic pain is expected to initiate by year-end 2025, pending regulatory clearance.
Additional<br> scientific data submissions and presentations are planned throughout 2025.
MIRA<br> also reaffirmed that the acquisition of SKNY Pharmaceuticals, which includes a first-in-class oral CB1/CB2 inverse agonist for<br> obesity and smoking cessation (SKNY-1), is progressing on track. The Company has submitted the required regulatory filings for the<br> merger to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
