PsyBio Therapeutics Corp. has filed a new provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) entitled Methods for the Production of a Methylated Tryptamines and Intermediates or Side Products, adding additional methylated tryptamines including compounds such as N,N-Dimethyltryptamine ("DMT") and associated analogs for development of potential treatments for a variety of human health conditions. PsyBio's intellectual property portfolio now includes seven pending provisionals and one pending non-provisional patent application. The addition of methylated tryptamines with pending patent protection is focused on the potential improvement of treatments for mental health conditions including depression, anxiety and addiction, as well as other psychological and neurologic conditions. DMT, as an example of a methylated tryptamine, is a tryptophan-derived alkaloid naturally present in certain plants and animals. DMT has an extensive history of being ingested as a mixture called Ayahuasca among several indigenous groups from the Northwestern Amazon for therapeutic purposes. Ayahuasca is a combination of DMT, made from the leaves of the shrub Psychotria viridis, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors required for DMT work, from the vine Banisteriopsis caapi. As a structural analog of serotonin, DMT binds a subset of serotonin receptors in the brain which is believed to be the basis for its purported therapeutic effect. PsyBio has leveraged its expertise in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, biomedicinal chemistry, clinical pharmacology and drug development using genetically modified organisms and, when appropriate, targeted synthesis to produce DMT and other relevant target analogs for potential therapeutic treatment of mental health challenges and other neurological disorders. PsyBio has filed intellectual property on a method for the production of a methylated tryptamine or an intermediate thereof utilizing a prokaryotic host. PsyBio intends to continue utilizing its resources to rapidly develop and test new drug candidates within this and other psychedelic categories in anticipation of launching future clinical trials.
