PsychedelicNewsBreaks – Cybin Corp. and IntelGenx Corp. to Collaborate in Development of Fast-Acting Psilocybin Film

Jul 7, 2020

Cybin Corp., Canada’s premier mushroom life sciences company focused on advancing psychedelic and nutraceutical-based products derived from fungi, today announced its entry into a feasibility agreement with IntelGenx Corp. (OTCQB: IGXT) (TSX-V:IGX) for the development of an orally-dissolving film for the delivery of pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin, subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. “We at Cybin are proud to be working with IntelGenx to develop a fast-acting psilocybin film,” Cybin’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jukka Karjalainen, stated in the news release. “Compared to oral psilocybin capsules, which are subject to variable intestinal absorption and high first-pass metabolism in the liver, the systemic bioavailability of orally-dissolving psilocybin film is expected to be quite high. In addition, the dose of psilocybin administered by an orally-dissolving film is expected to be a fraction of what is required in oral capsules. Taken together, these features have the potential to increase both the safety and efficacy of psilocybin when administered in this manner.”

Trump’s ‘golden age’ push hands top science honours to big tech. Will it work?

The White House’s bid for a US “golden age” of science should put China on alert, Chinese analysts have warned, but they remain sceptical as to whether President Donald Trump’s alliance with Silicon Valley billionaires can pull it off. This comes as Trump, in another arguably unconventional move, handed the country’s highest science and engineering awards to top American tech bosses. Elon Musk, head of electric-vehicle maker Tesla and aerospace manufacturer SpaceX, received the National Medal of...
