Overview
Mithradote Bio is a private, pre-revenue biotech focused on a critical unmet need in public health and personal safety: the prevention of drug-facilitated sexual assault. Its lead candidate, M-101, is a sublingual pan-antidote intended to counteract benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, and other GABA agonists used in drink-spiking. The company is in the pre-clinical or early development stage, building its team and technology to bring a portable, fast-acting countermeasure to market. This positions Mithradote at the intersection of biotechnology, harm reduction, and women's health.
Technology Platform
Novel sublingual formulation platform for rapid delivery of a pan-antidote targeting GABA receptor agonists (benzodiazepines, Z-drugs).

Risk Factors
Competitive Landscape
There are currently no FDA-approved self-administered antidotes for drink-spiking drugs. The closest analogs are hospital-administered flumazenil (for benzodiazepine overdose) and naloxone (for opioids), but these are not designed or approved for this specific use case. Mithradote's primary competition is the status quo of no pharmacological intervention, positioning it as a first-in-category pioneer if successful.
