Identification of a potent, monomolecular non-hallucinogenic analog of psilocybin 100 times stronger than psilocybin.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 14, 2023) - MYND Life Sciences Inc. (CSE: MYND) (OTCQB: MYNDF) ("MYND" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical research and development company creating innovative precision medicines and diagnostic solutions for patients with relentless neurological diseases, announced that it has successfully accomplished a significant milestone to help advance the Company's future scientific development.
Positive preclinical data indicates that MYND has identified a non-hallucinogenic psilocybin analog that has bioactivity one hundred times more active than psilocybin itself. This would enable the analog to be given at 1% of the dosage thereby dramatically reducing side effects and potentially increasing the treatment efficacy in inflammatory diseases such as Major Depressive Disorder, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease and others.
"MYND continues to build and advance its research and development pipeline towards creating treatments for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and related diseases. The identification of a non-hallucinogenic analog is very exciting as this has been the singular focus for the entire clinical sectors and pharmaceutical industry related to purposing psilocybin-related compounds as mainstream, clinically approved drugs," stated MYND CEO Dr. Lyle Oberg. "We have now taken a major step forward in developing and delivering MYND-604 in a safe and effective way and with the achievement of this milestone we now plan to advance MYND-604 into clinical trials and ultimately obtain FDA approval," said Dr. Oberg.
