The net proceeds will advance the development its lead compound, BETR-001, a proprietary 2-bromo-LSD, a non-hallucinogenic derivative of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), in developement for the treatment of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder and neuropathic pain.
BETR-001 (2-bromo-LSD) is a non-hallucinogenic and noncontrolled LSD derivative in development for treatment of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder and neuropathic pain and other neuro-psychiatric and neurological disorders.
BETR-001 (2-bromo-LSD) is a non-hallucinogenic and noncontrolled LSD derivative in development for treatment of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder and neuropathic pain and other neuro-psychiatric and neurological disorders.
BETR-001 (2-bromolysergic acid diethylamide), which is in preclinical and IND-enabling studies, is a non-hallucinogenic and non-controlled LSD derivative in development and it is unique in that it is unregulated and therefore can be self administered.
BETR-001 (2-bromolysergic acid diethylamide) is a second-generation LSD derivative molecule that does not cause hallucinations. The synthesis of BETR-001 is via non-controlled substance synthetic route, and therefore not subject to controlled substance regulatory restrictions.
BETR-001 (2-Bromolysergic Acid Diethylamide), is a second-generation Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (“LSD”) derivative molecule that BetterLife believes will mimic the therapeutic potential of LSD without causing psychedelic effects, such as hallucinations.
BETR-001 is a non-hallucinogenic Lysergic Acid Diethylamide derivative molecule. BETR-001 is a uniquely positioned LSD derivative with the potential to be as effective as LSD in various neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders without the burden of being hallucinogenic.
The study demonstrated that treatment of rat embryonic cortical neurons with BETR-001 increases structural complexity of neurons (dendrite growth and complexity) and therefore, provides evidence of neural plasticity activity of BETR-001.
Key PK data points from the mouse study demonstrated that BETR-001 appeared quickly (10 minutes post dose) in the plasma and brain of mice following a single dose and remained detectable up to 8 hours post dose.
The current study demonstrates that treatment of rat embryonic cortical neurons with BETR-001 increases the structural complexity of neurons and therefore, provides evidence of neural plasticity activity of BETR-001.
