Safer MDMA

The EASE project – easier on heart and mind.

MDMA is a psychoactive drug that can enhance mood, empathy, and creativity.

It has been investigated as a potential treatment for various psychiatric disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and addiction. The rationale behind MDMA therapy is that it can facilitate the therapeutic process by reducing fear, increasing trust, and enhancing emotional expression.

However, it can also cause serious damage to the heart and the brain, leading to cardiac and cognitive problems. A safer alternative is needed to provide the same benefits without the risks. BioPharm is developing novel compounds that can mimic MDMA’s effects without harming the body or the mind.

PULSE project

Psilocybin mushrooms have been used by indigenous cultures for millennia for their therapeutic and mystical benefits. Western cultures have been denied this natural gift due to fear and taboo. Now, science has rediscovered its potential, and modern man is gaining access to this ancient tool.

Microdosing LSD

Research is showing microdosing LSD (taking tiny amounts) to have powerful benefits, but the potential for overdose makes it unlikely to be allowed for public use. BioPharm have developed similar products with a ceiling level of effect to prevent overdose.

Safer Ketamine

Ketamine is a popular surgical anaesthetic found to have mental health benefits, such as relief of treatment resistant depression, but is toxic to bladder. BioPharm team have worked on a number of improvements to this molecule.

Safer MDMA

MDMA is fast becoming a popular medicine for a variety of symptoms, but is toxic to heart and brain. BioPharm's EASE project has safer alternatives under development.

Stimulant Substitution

Stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine are widely used in the community but can have devastating consequences. Developing substitution drugs with less risk is becoming an attractive policy solution and we are working on the technology to get there.
