Cybin Announces Publication of Research Manuscript in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry

- Publication explores structure-activity relationships ("SAR") of a broad range of 2C-X analogs -

- Innovative research led to the discovery of CYB210010, a potent and long-acting serotonin 5-HT₂ receptor agonist with favorable pharmacokinetic properties -

"In the past decade, there has been a revival of interest in serotonin (5-HT)-based psychedelics as pharmacotherapeutics for neuropsychiatric disorders," said Geoff Varty, Ph.D., Head of R&D of Cybin. "Given the clinical potential of 2C-X phenethylamines, our studies explored the SARs of a broad range of 2C-X analogs, focusing on 4-thio derivatives, to identify novel 5-HT₂ receptor ligands with unique pharmacodynamic ("PD") and pharmacokinetic ("PK") properties. We synthesized 39 proprietary 4-substituted-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamines and these phenethylamines were profiled for their ability to interact with the serotonin system and to induce psychedelic-like effects in preclinical models. This research led to the discovery of CYB210010, a potent and long-acting serotonin 5-HT₂ receptor agonist with favorable PK and PD properties," concluded Dr. Varty.

Future investigations will focus on the development of CYB210010 and related molecules as novel therapeutics for psychiatric and neurological disorders with unmet needs.
