NY-based biotech platform Terran Biosciences introduced the publication of a global PCT patent software overlaying what would be the first new salts, co-crystals and polymorphs of psilocybin in historical past.

CEO Dr. Sam Clark said the corporate believes the brand new types of psilocybin “will considerably broaden entry and enhance the power of researchers and builders to work with this compound to ship new therapeutics.”

That is why Terran has additionally filed a Drug Grasp File (DMF) with the FDA. 

Clark additional added that the invention marks “a brand new chapter in psychedelic medicinal chemistry,” as the corporate labored with some of the well-studied compounds “to create novel breakthroughs beforehand not thought attainable.”

Terran states that, whereas the psilocybin molecule has lengthy been believed to be a zwitterion and due to this fact missing the power to type salts, its analysis workforce efficiently created plenty of novel salt types of psilocybin. 

These salts underwent in depth polymorph screening till probably the most secure polymorphs had been decided, which the corporate believes might signify the primary new salts and polymorphs of psilocybin in historical past.

The identical set of research was replicated with the psilocin prodrug O-acetylpsilocin, which additionally resulted in extra novel salts and polymorphs of that compound.

The corporate is at the moment producing GMP-grade psilocybin and supplying researchers and clinics worldwide. 

The brand new PCT software provides to the corporate’s latest 4 IP claims on improved variations of traditional empathogen MDMA in addition to one other for DMT- and ibogaine-inspired non-hallucinogenic psychoplastogens.
