MDMA is the most studied empathogen to date and has been shown to be an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in multiple phase 3 trials.

Key Points: 
  • MDMA is the most studied empathogen to date and has been shown to be an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in multiple phase 3 trials.
  • Historically, MDMA has only been developed as a single salt and the crystal structures of its enantiomers had not been characterized.
  • As previously reported, Terran found that the S enantiomer of MDEA had significant advantages over the (R)-MDEA in preclinical models.
  • Terran is also developing the S enantiomer of MBDB which was shown to have significant advantages over (R)-MBDB in preclinical models.

The discoveries include novel deuterated forms, enantiomerically pure forms, as well as novel salts, polymorphs, and co-crystals of racemic methylone, R-methylone and S-methylone.

Key Points: 
  • The discoveries include novel deuterated forms, enantiomerically pure forms, as well as novel salts, polymorphs, and co-crystals of racemic methylone, R-methylone and S-methylone.
  • Terran believes that therapeutic options for patients should be equally diverse, with unique psychedelics and empathogens tailored to specific patient needs.
  • Terran completed what is believed to be the first comprehensive salt and polymorph screen performed to date on this compound.
  • Terran completed additional improvements including the synthesis of deuterated forms of racemic methylone, R-methylone, and S-methylone with improved pharmacokinetics.
