Our Work

Leading the Industry in Therapeutic Development Programs and Innovative Drug Delivery Systems

Our 3 Pillar Strategy

1
 

Novel Drug Discovery Platform

API Modification

Develop new API’s via selective modifications of tryptamine and phenethylamine-based scaffolds specifically to alter their pharma cokinetics without modifying their therapeutic potential.

Modifications involve replacing selective hydrogens with deuterium atoms.

Optimizing unique physicochemical attributes e.g. salts, crystal forms, co-crystals, etc.

2
 

Proprietary Drug Delivery Systems

Research and Development

Efficient delivery system that attempts to bypass the liver metabolism with a direct path to the brain providing a faster onset.

Modified-release formulations with the potential to reduce side effects and to control exposure.

Dose control through proprietary device platform.

Delivery systems may be applied to many psychedelic compounds.

Innovative Treatment Regimen

Science Meets Technology

Software-based platform to gather clinical research data from psychedelic treatment.

EMBARK six domain best-practices psychotherapy program designed to provide consistent therapist training and consistent psychotherapy delivery in clinical trials.

Patents

15 patent filings cover a wide range of novel psychedelic compounds from different classes, including targeted structural modifications to improve the drug pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety profiles without altering their receptor binding. Novel drug delivery platform claims are expected to enable administration of the psychedelic drugs with faster onset of action, higher bioavailability by way of bypassing the liver metabolism and expected to offer more control for better patient experience and optimized therapeutic outcomes.

EXECUTING
NOTES:
  1. Subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals from all applicable governmental authorities, including, as applicable, the academic and scientific organizations with which Cybin is working. There are multiple risk factors regarding the ability to successfully commercially scale a chemically synthesized process to obtain psilocybin and other analogues.
  2. Phase 2 investigator-initiated study being conducted by Dr. Anthony Back, professor of medicine (oncology) at the UW School of Medicine and co-funded by Cybin.
  3. Cybin-sponsored Phase 1 feasibility study evaluating Kernel’s Flow Technology to measure ketamine’s psychedelic effect on cerebral cortex hemodynamics.
