Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) Releases Preclinical Data from CYB004 Study Showing Significant Advantages

  • Earlier studies show that CYB004 via inhalation may solve existing challenges and support a clinical path forward for this important therapeutic
  • Cybin is currently developing CYB004 for the treatment of anxiety disorders
  • The new chemical entity is covered by a patent issued earlier this year
Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) has released data from a pharmacokinetic study focused on evaluating CYB004, the company’s proprietary deuterated dimethyltryptamine (“DMT”) molecule (https://ibn.fm/nyCj8). The study analyzed delivery methods of CYB004, and showed initial data indicates significant advantages over Intravenous (“IV”) and Inhaled DMT. “In many studies, DMT has shown to be a promising and effective psychedelic for the treatment of mental health issues,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale. “However, known side effects like disorientation and anxiety and its mode of administration have historically hindered its use and availability. CYB004 via inhalation may solve these challenges and finally support a clinical path forward for this important therapeutic.” According to the report, inhaled CYB004 showed significant advantages over both IV DMT and inhaled DMT, including longer duration of action and improved bioavailability. The study also indicated that inhaled CYB004 showed an onset of effect and dose profile similar to IV DMT. “These data may support the potential for inhalation as a viable and well-controlled delivery system of therapeutic psychedelics,” the announcement states, noting that Cybin is currently developing CYB004 for treatment of anxiety disorders. Specifically, the company reported that, based on preclinical results, inhaled CYB004 demonstrated:
  • Approximately 2,000% improved bioavailability compared with orally administered DMT, which is known to have limited to no oral bioavailability
  • Approximately 41% improved bioavailability compared with inhaled DMT
  • Approximately 300% longer duration of effect when compared with IV DMT, indicating potential to extend the therapeutic window
  • Rapid onset of effect and low variability equivalent to IV DMT
A new chemical entity, CYB004 is covered by a patent issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office earlier this year. The patent allows claims that include a range of deuterated forms of DMT and 5-MeO-DMT. The composition of matter patent is expected to expire in 2041 before consideration of any patent term extensions. “As part of Cybin’s overall mission to create safe and effective psychedelic-based therapeutics, inhaled CYB004 is being developed to potentially overcome the limitations of IV DMT and become an important treatment option for anxiety disorders for patients and physicians,” stated Drysdale. He also noted that the company plans to submit a regulatory filing for a pilot study in the coming weeks. “Cybin’s approach to psychedelic drug development enables the control of many biological factors, including improving the way a drug is metabolized and managing some adverse effects. “In its natural form, DMT is unstable and not orally bioavailable,” Drysdale concluded. “Based on these preclinical studies, we believe CYB004 has the potential to overcome these issues. These results also provide strong evidence that an inhaled delivery mode may be able to address the limitations of IV DMT and could be widely applicable to a variety of psychedelics.” Cybin is a leading ethical biopharmaceutical company, working with a network of world-class partners and internationally recognized scientists, on a mission to create safe and effective therapeutics for patients to address a multitude of mental health issues. Headquartered in Canada and founded in 2019, Cybin is operational in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company is focused on progressing Psychedelics to Therapeutics(TM) by engineering proprietary drug-discovery platforms, innovative drug-delivery systems, novel formulation approaches and treatment regimens for mental health disorders.

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) Nears Rollout of First Green Ammonia-producing Onsite System For Canadian Agriculture

  • Clean energy solutions innovator FuelPositive Corp. is developing a scalable, containerized, modular means of producing green ammonia for customers in the agriculture industry
  • The agriculture industry uses 80 percent of the current global supply of ammonia for fertilizer
  • FuelPositive’s IP is designed to produce 300 kilograms per day of liquid anhydrous carbon-free ammonia — the amount needed to fertilize and power a 2,000-acre farm
  • FuelPositive is initially targeting Canadian farmers as the customers for its green ammonia solution, and has established research partnerships to determine how to most effectively roll out its modules in order to meet farmers’ needs
Clean energy solutions innovator FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), is nearing the rollout of its first onsite demonstration system for producing green, hydrogen-dense anhydrous ammonia, with an initial goal of helping the agricultural industry buffer against the difficulties of supply chain interruptions and improving the industry’s impact on the climate. Green ammonia is gaining gravitas as a clean energy solution to environmental pollution that is believed to be altering climates worldwide. Chemical & Engineering News describes the process pioneered a century ago to produce ammonia from hydrogen and atmospheric nitrogen as perhaps the biggest global problem ever solved by chemistry, due to ammonia’s utility as high volume-producing fertilizer and now as a means of producing hydrogen for energy or for use in energy generation in its own right. “Up to this point, we have made a business by selling the nitrogen value of the molecule,” ammonia producer CF Industries’ CEO Tony Will told the magazine (https://ibn.fm/cYCpk). “What’s really exciting about this is now there is an opportunity and a market that values the hydrogen portion of the molecule.” FuelPositive is helping to pioneer such scientific development by rolling out its scalable, containerized “plant-in-a-box” that uses a carbon-free process to make pure green ammonia. The company’s first demonstration system will launch on a farm in Manitoba, Canada, later this year, followed by two additional demonstration systems in coming months (https://ibn.fm/CXxA5). The system is designed to produce 300 kilograms per day of liquid anhydrous carbon-free ammonia, which FuelPositive describes as the approximate amount needed to fertilize and power a 2,000-acre farm. The technology is already proven in the lab and the company is now moving it into real world application. “Ammonia can be produced with natural elements such as the sun, air and water, resulting in a sustainable output. Of course, since the plant operates on renewables, it needs a constant supply of energy, so the location needs to be considered carefully – it is best to build a green ammonia plant near the energy source to optimize the financial model,” one author states in a recent issue of Fertilizer Focus magazine (https://ibn.fm/E8uNZ). But the shipping container-sized models designed by FuelPositive for portability mean that the plant can effectively be delivered easily to the end user under a decentralized methodology that grants the end user a great deal of control over the product. In keeping with FuelPositive’s focus on serving the agricultural industry, which consumes 80 percent of the current global supply of ammonia for fertilizer, the company announced March 29 that Pollara Strategic Insights will become a corporate market research partner and University of Guelph (Ontario) associate research professor Leith Deacon will provide further advisement on data-based rural planning to help FuelPositive most effectively reach its target consumer (https://ibn.fm/Z46od). “It’s important to recognize that if you’re designing a product for farmers, you need to make sure the product is reflective of farmers’ realities. The only way to know what they need and want is to ask them. I’m excited to see that FuelPositive is engaging directly with farmers and taking its decision-making so seriously,” Deacon stated. “Our team has extensive experience in the agriculture space, especially in terms of sustainable and regenerative farming. We are conducting qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys across a robust sample of Canadian farmers to extract deep insights and direction for the Company to consider when making its decisions,” Pollara’s founder and chief strategist Don Guy added.

Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. (CIPI) Partners With Continental Envelope on a 908 kW Solar Project

  • Correlate will set up a 908-kW rooftop solar project at Continental Envelope’s Geneva, Illinois headquarters
  • Once completed, this project will provide over 1.2 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy and power 20-25% of the facility’s overall energy needs
  • Engineering work has already commenced on the project, with construction projected to start in the summer of this year
  • Correlate’s management is confident that once done, this project will showcase what the company can do and how achievable energy forward-thinking is for manufacturing businesses of all kinds and sizes across the world
Since its inception, Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI) has created an industry-leading energy solution and financing platform focusing on the commercial and industrial sectors. This stems from the fact that there is a significant untapped opportunity in these two areas, starting with the much-needed clean-energy upgrades necessary to achieve U.S. 2050 carbon goals. In an assessment conducted by the company, it has been established that, for the carbon goals to be achieved, at least 200,000 commercial buildings should be retrofitted every year until that date, representing a 5-10 time increase over the 2022 industry process run rate. In a move that seeks to bring the company closer to achieving this goal, it has partnered with Continental Envelop to set up a 908-kW rooftop solar project which, once completed, will power 20-25% of the facility’s overall energy needs. Continental Envelope manufactures 2 billion envelopes every year and counts some of the leading brands in the U.S. as clients, including Netflix, AT&T, Capital One, and American Express. The company’s headquarters, located in Geneva, Illinois, where the solar project will be located, is 84 years old, with the company itself being in operation since the 1930s (https://ibn.fm/QX2pL). Given its efforts to embrace and adopt clean energy, Continental Envelope has been termed one of the greenest envelope factories in the country. The move to install the rooftop solar project only seals that title and sets the company apart from its peers. Engineering work on the solar project kicked off on April 18, 2022, with construction estimated to start in the summer of this year. The project will feature 1667 solar energy modules with the capacity to produce over 545 watts each. Once done, the entire project will provide over 1.2 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy and offset over 18,849 tons of carbon dioxide over the next 20 years, according to the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. “Correlate Infrastructure Partners is pleased to move forward with the Continental Envelope solar project, which will contribute to the modernization of their electricity generation supply and improve its sustainability,” noted Correlate’s Chief executive Officer (“CEO”), Todd Michaels. “We are grateful to partner with this innovative family business as we lead the printing and manufacturing industry toward clean, efficient, and renewable generation without compromising reliability,” he added. Correlate’s management is confident that this project will show how achievable energy forward-thinking is, not just for printing but also for manufacturing businesses worldwide. It also believes that it will showcase the company’s capacity to execute a project of this size, plan and create an innovative building health program of activities designed to set companies on the path toward Net-Zero. “This solution for Continental envelope is a demonstration of Correlate’s commitment to designing and building customer-centric energy projects that not only deliver profitable sustainability, but also leverage local and national incentives and technology like solar and storage to provide meaningful financial benefit to our customers’ bottom line,” noted Jason Loyet, the Director of Solar Energy & Storage with Correlate For more information, visit the company’s website at www.CorrelateInfra.com.

The subsidiary’s first product, the MagixDrive, is an adapter that creates a wireless experience enabling users to enjoy all the perks of CarPlay, such as streaming services, Siri voice commands, navigation, apps, and more, without having to connect their phones to a cable. “This is a golden opportunity for Applied Magix to become front and center with Apple users, capture market share, and create a loyal following,” the Editorial reads. And to better improve these chances, Applied Magix is actively marketing MagixDrive through a commercial campaign, whose airing schedule was expanded in February to grow the product’s reach and visibility (https://ibn.fm/TLiHk). In addition to MagixDrive, Applied Magix also offers additional products, including a secure video camera with iCloud storage, MagixBlock USB DataBlocker, MagixCharge Dual USB-C Car Charger, and more (see below for a complete list). With these products, SPYR and Applied Magix target multiple multi-billion-dollar markets that are projected to continue growing well into the future. For instance, Grand View Research anticipates the global smart home security cameras market will grow at a 15.7% CAGR, reaching $11.89 billion by 2027 (https://ibn.fm/h1T6H). Likewise, Allied Market Research projects the global connected car market will grow to $225.16 billion by 2027, up from $63.03 billion in 2019, representing a 17.1% CAGR (https://ibn.fm/fHOoW). “SPYR and Applied Magix management, including a newly formed advisory board, are initially setting their sights on Apple consumers throughout North America and Europe, in other words, those with the largest profit potential, which should translate into corporate value. To reach these consumers, Applied Magix leverages strong relationships with third-party distributors and influences of Apple consumer products,” the Editorial reads.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Launches Fourth Human Study for Reducing Hypertension, Reports Positive Outcome of Third Human Study’s Data

  • Global drug delivery innovator Lexaria Bioscience is researching the ability of its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology to improve the performance of a number of prescription drugs
  • Lexaria is a world leader in the investigation of a DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) to potentially treat high blood pressure (hypertension), and study outcomes thus far have rendered positive results on effectiveness and patient tolerance
  • The company is building a scorecard of data to support its planned FDA application for formal, registered clinical testing under the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) process
  • Lexaria recently completed all data analyses of its HYPER-H21-3 study examining DehydraTECH-CBD’s ability to reduce pulmonary artery systolic pressure, and launched HYPER-H21-4 to gather a variety of data points related to DehydraTECH-CBD’s use over a more extensive period of time
High blood pressure has long been labeled “the silent killer” because of its propensity to lead to incapacitating or prematurely deadly strokes, heart attacks and other serious disease indications without necessarily foreshadowing pain or great discomfort. According to the World Health Organization (“WHO”), an estimated 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years worldwide have hypertension but only about 1 in 5 (21 percent) people with the condition have it under control with medical treatment (https://ibn.fm/uMZNh). During the past decade within the United States, about 49 percent of the population reported taking at least one prescription medication in the past 30 days in data sampling collected by the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at selected times, while 24 percent of the individuals took three or more prescriptions and 13 percent took five or more (https://ibn.fm/apjBj). The data showed a marked increase over those persons sampled during the late 1980s to mid-1990s, particularly where multiple medications were concerned. And yet, a recent news report states that as few as 50 percent of patients take their medications exactly as prescribed (https://ibn.fm/ggwCv). Global drug delivery innovator Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) is devoting its research and product development to making drug substances more effective in their approach to treating medical conditions such as high blood pressure and, in the process, to overcoming many of the obstacles that may hinder their proper use by patients. The company’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology combines an active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) with a fatty acid oil and performing a patented dehydration synthesis process before ingestion The Company has demonstrated significant improvements of absorption into bloodstream and even into brain tissue, in as little as minutes after ingestion. One area of Lexaria’s research has focused on pursuing U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval to begin formal, registered clinical testing of its DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) for the treatment of hypertension under the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) process. Lexaria recently announced the launch of its HYPER-H21-4 randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over study of DehydraTECH-CBD in relation to  hypertension, with the potential for enhancing Lexaria’s ability to treat cardiovascular and other disease states beyond hypertension that are related to increased arterial stiffness (https://ibn.fm/F1N9A). Lexaria has already completed other human studies. Last year, studies HYPER-H21-1 (https://ibn.fm/30edj) and HYPER-H21-2 (https://ibn.fm/RGDrr) provided evidence that DehydraTECH-CBD successfully reduced blood pressure in similarly hypertensive human volunteers, and Lexaria announced earlier this month that it had completed all data analyses of its HYPER-H21-3 study with positive safety and efficacy findings (https://ibn.fm/HS9sV). HYPER-H21-3 used a placebo-controlled and double-blinded design with 16 volunteers, safely simulating hypoxia conditions (reduced oxygen availability) to induce lung artery constriction, or pulmonary hypertension, to analyze the ability of DehydraTECH-CBD to reduce pulmonary artery systolic pressure. HYPER-H21-4 will include 60 people and will be the most comprehensive study Lexaria has conducted to date. Dosing in more than half the volunteers has already begun and all treatment visits are expected to be finished by early July. The volunteers are between the ages of 40 and 70 with documented or measured elevated blood pressure, mild hypertension or moderate (stage 2) hypertension. The participants will use an escalating dose of DehydraTECH-CBD every day for a 5-week duration, establishing data for DehydraTECH-CBD’s extended use over time and providing secondary data outcomes that may ultimately lead to additional applications for DehydraTECH-CBD, according to the company.

Delic Holdings Corp. (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF) Moves to Become the Go-To Provider of Psychedelic Medicine Treatment as it Seeks Approval of Additional Compounds

  • Delic is a leader in new medicines and treatments that offers education, research, high-quality products, and treatment options
  • The company is on a mission to help heal the mental health pandemic, which has been triggered and worsened by the COVID-19 disease
  • Delic operates the largest, most profitable chain of wellness clinics providing ketamine treatments in the United States
  • With 13 clinics already in operation, Delic is eyeing expansion as it seeks to ensure 60-70% of Americans are within a 45-minute drive to its clinics
The latest data from the World Health Organization (“WHO”) shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a 25% increase in the number of cases of anxiety and depression globally. Caused by multiple exacerbating factors, including loneliness, suffering and death, fear of infection, financial worries, and grief, this increased prevalence has also coincided with the substantial disruption in mental health services, creating a gaping hole in the care of people leaving with these conditions (https://ibn.fm/Tzpcj). Delic Holdings (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF), a leader in new medicines and treatments for a modern world, has stepped up its efforts as it looks to fill the gaps exposed by COVID-19’s battering of the health sector. “Our mission is to heal the planet. We want to help heal the mental health pandemic. I don’t think we could have come about at a better time. I think it’s necessary; I wish it weren’t so necessary, but it is, and so, when people need that help, we are here to provide it,” Delic Co-founder and CEO, Matt Stang, said in a January interview (https://ibn.fm/Ycnhe). To fulfill this mission, Delic offers education, through an impressive, assorted portfolio of media offerings, including a wellness event, digital lifestyle magazine, and podcast; research through Delic Labs, a federally-licensed cannabis and psilocybin research lab; and, most importantly, high-quality products and treatment options through wellness clinics operating under the Ketamine Wellness Centers brand. The company currently operates 13 wellness clinics across nine states, making it the owner of the largest, most profitable chain of wellness clinics in the United States. Looking ahead, Delic plans to maintain this lead with plans to open more clinics in multiple other locations. Ultimately, according to Stang, the company’s long-term vision for this expansion drive is to have 60-70% of the American population within a 45-minute drive to the clinics. The expansion is also strategic in other ways. During the interview, Stang estimated that some psychedelic substances such as MDMA (ecstasy) and psilocybin could receive “some form of approval” within the next one to two years, with other compounds slated for possible legal availability in the subsequent years. Accordingly, Delic is positioning its clinics to be the go-to wellness centers for patients once the nascent psychedelic drugs are finally available. “[Once the psychedelic drugs have received some form of FDA approval] Delic will be the place you can go – you’ll have a clinic in your backyard that you go to for psychedelic medicine treatment, just like any other type of pharmaceutical,” Stang explained. He further noted that the clinics will offer psychedelic medicine treatment on an in-person basis, where qualified professionals will sit with patients and walk them through the process, offering them the efficacy they seek and, as a result, helping them change their minds and lives. Through the Ketamine Wellness Centers, Delic is providing a scalable, trusted, and accessible network of psychedelic clinics with a repeatable, non-habit forming, and effective treatment process. The clinics, coupled with its research and development division, put the company at the center of the burgeoning psychedelics and mental health treatment industries. According to an Open Minds Market Intelligence Report, the spending on mental health treatment and services grew 52.1% between 2009 and 2019, reaching $225 billion (https://ibn.fm/dZpEf). Separately, the global psychedelic drugs market is expected to grow robustly at a CAGR of 14.5% between 2021 and 2026, from $3.21 billion to $6.33 billion (https://ibn.fm/uC6nJ).

For small molecules, approval rates hover at very low odds, often requiring up to two decades of development. In oncology, success rates fall to just 3%. These economics have created a bottleneck that leaves patients waiting years for […]
