Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 27, 2023) - Neural Therapeutics Inc. ("Neural" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that after nearly 11 months of a rigorous review process, the Company has received a key permission from Servicio Nacional Forestal y de Fauna Silvestre ("SERFOR"), the National Service for Forest and Wildlife, part of Peru's Ministry of Agriculture, which is in charge of regulating forest and wildlife. Due to the special nature of the Company's request, the application was further reviewed and approved by The Ministry of the Environment (MINAM). This permit provides the Company with access to genetic resources and their derivatives for the evaluation of the mescaline-containing cactus species of the Echinopsis genus (commonly known as San Pedro or Huachuma) for possible medicinal purposes.

Key Points: 
  • Mescaline is a chemical compound (and classified as a psychedelic with potential medicinal/therapeutic applications) derived from the Peyote and San Pedro cacti.
  • In comparison, the San Pedro cactus grows significantly faster with a greater biomass and is harvestable in a shorter time frame.
  • In 2022, the Peruvian Ministry of Culture declared the traditional use of San Pedro cactus in northern Peru as cultural heritage.
  • Additionally, we will donate specimens to a Peruvian sanctioned local herbarium for future scientific studies and species preservation."
