Mindset Pharma Inc. announced that it has developed first-in-class studies to enable the Company to confirm the psychedelic effect of its novel compounds with greater accuracy. In partnership with InterVivo Solutions, Mindset has trained rats to discriminate psilocybin effects from saline via oral and subcutaneous dosing, which to the Company’s knowledge is a first in the psychedelics field of research. By training animals to discriminate psilocybin from saline, Mindset can better determine if they are "experiencing" psilocybin-like effects when administered the Company's proprietary compounds. Mindset will have an exceptionally strong indicator confirming the efficacy, safety, and duration of its novel proprietary psychedelic drug candidates, and will be able to support its lead compounds as they progress towards clinical trials. Mindset has also confirmed within this test that LSD generalizes to the psilocybin cue, at approximately 1/10th of the dose of psilocybin, or approximately 10 times the potency of psilocybin. Additionally, Mindset has demonstrated, for the first time that the company is aware of, that orally administered psilocybin shows nearly identical stimulus generalization to subcutaneously administered psilocybin, which will allow Mindset to confirm oral bioavailability of Mindset NCE’s.
