Mindset Pharma Begins Work with Leading R&D Contractor for Next-Generation Psychedelic Drugs

TORONTO, April 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Mindset Pharma ("Mindset"), a leading drug discovery business focused exclusively on novel and best in class psychedelics, announced today that preclinical work has begun on the novel psychedelics identified in Mindset's provisional patent applications filed earlier this year. Mindset has identified multiple novel compound structures that the Mindset scientific team believes will enable the development of pharmaceutically appropriate next-generation psychedelic drugs to treat a range of neuropsychiatric indications. The novel compounds identified by Mindset will enable drugs that combine medically desirable psychedelic effects with optimal pharmacological characteristics.

Mindset CEO, James Lanthier, said, "We are pleased to establish a service agreement with Pharmeron, which continues to be fully operational through the COVID pandemic. Importantly, working with Pharmeron will allow us to adhere to our timelines to select our first clinical candidate before the end of the year and will allow us to maintain our first-to-file advantage and remain ahead of the curve as the exciting medical psychedelic space continues to evolve."
