Promising results with Telomir-1 Demonstrates Potential in Promoting Life Quality and Longevity in Senior Dogs
TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2024 / Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:TELO) ("Telomir" or the "Company"), a pre-clinical-stage company seeking to lead developments in longevity science through the treatment of age-related conditions, is proud to announce that its novel small molecule, Telomir-1, was recently featured in an exclusive local ABC television news segment highlighting promising "age reversal" outcomes in two senior dogs.
The use of Telomir-1 in these two dogs was observed by Telomir's special advisor Dr. Michael Roizen, the former Chief Wellness Officer of the Cleveland Clinic and a leader in age-related medicine. In this small compassionate use program, remarkable improvements in the health and vitality of the dogs after treatment with Telomir-1 was noted, offering a glimpse into the potential future applications for humans.
In the segment, "ABC7 Exclusive: New study reveals promising results for age reversal pill on dogs," the transformative potential of Telomir-1 was showcased through the stories of Zeus and Benson, two senior dogs from Donte's Den rescue organization in Myakka City, Florida. After being treated with Telomir-1, both dogs exhibited significant improvements in their health conditions. Zeus, a 12-year-old German Shepherd, showed complete remission of terminal cancer, while Benson, a 12-year-old Newfoundland suffering from severe arthritis, regained his mobility, leading to what caretakers described as a miraculous recovery.
Erez Aminov, the newly appointed Chairman CEO of Telomir Pharmaceuticals, expressed his commitment to advancing the science behind Telomir-1 and accelerating its path to market.
"The results seen in this study are a testament to the groundbreaking potential of Telomir-1. Our focus is on ensuring that we continue to push forward with the rigorous scientific research necessary to bring this promising treatment into human trials for particular indications, through the regulatory process and to ultimately to market as quickly and safely as possible. At Telomir, we are committed to transforming the future of longevity science, and these early findings bring us one step closer to achieving that goal," said Aminov.
Dr. Michael Roizen added, "The preliminary results we're seeing with Telomir-1 are very encouraging. By lengthening telomeres, we believe Telomir-1 can promote cell regeneration and potentially reverse several aspects of aging or age-related conditions. I'm excited to continue working with Telomir to explore the full potential of this innovative therapy."

About Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:TELO) is a pre-clinical stage pharmaceutical company seeking to lead development in longevity science in both humans and dogs. The Company is focused on the development of Telomir-1, a novel small molecule designed to lengthen the DNA's protective telomere caps, which are crucial in the aging process. The Company's goal is to explore the potential of Telomir-1 starting with ongoing research in animals and then in humans.
Telomeres are the protective end caps of a chromosome made up of DNA sequences and proteins. As humans age, telomeres shorten, with metal reactivity accelerating the process, which presents humans and pet animals with an increased chance of contracting a number of degenerative and age-related diseases. Telomir's goal is to develop, gain regulatory approval for and commercialize Telomir-1, proposed to be dosed orally, with the broader aim of promoting longevity and enhancing overall quality of life.
The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute (Sweden) awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009 for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.
Telomir-1 is in preclinical development and has not yet been tested in humans. There is no assurance that Telomir-1 will proceed through development or will ultimately receive FDA approval for marketing.
