Telescope Innovations Corp. has been granted a Canadian patent, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, for a scalable manufacturing process to produce pharmaceutically-relevant indole compounds. Telescope developed this process in response to globally rising demands for pharmaceutical-grade therapeutics such as psilocybin and other indole-based precursors, analogs, and derivatives.

The patented chemical synthesis facilitates high-quality, scalable manufacturing because it reduces the number of synthetic steps than current methods, utilizes cost effective and readily available starting materials, and leverages chemical manufacturing techniques that are already standard practice in the pharmaceutical industry. Along with the synthetic route, Telescope also patented a set of new molecules that may become candidates for preclinical development. The discovery of both the synthetic route and new molecules was enabled by Telescope's unique suite of analytical and automation technologies, including the Direct Inject Liquid Chromatography (DILCTM) platform for quantitative, online reaction monitoring.
