Project Timeline
Year One
- Construct, equip, and staff the modern Shulgin Research Laboratory
- Synthesis of novel lysergamides, tryptamines, and phenylalkylamines as potential psychedelic agents, therapeutic agents, and “nonhallucinogenic psychedelics”
- Cultivation, harvesting, and extraction of plant species to isolate and examine minor alkaloids and other components for their ability to modulate psychoactive effects
- Catalog/characterize existing and unpublished compounds from the Shulgin Vault
- IP protection
Year Two
- Synthesis of PiHKAL and TiHKAL variants and other lead compounds
- Begin in vitro characterization of the Shulgin Vault, newly synthesized, and isolated plant compounds: receptor binding screens and functional assays
- Begin in vivo assays: mouse head-twitch response, Porsolt swim test, locomotor activity
- Begin Phase 1 clinical research with existing but little-explored compounds
- Supply lead compounds to clinical researchers for Phase 1 and Phase 2 medical research
- Structure-activity analyses
Year Three
- Supply compounds to business partners and joint ventures for commercial development
- Continue synthesis, chemical analysis, and biochemical characterization of new substances based on lead compounds: phenylalkylamine, tryptamines, lysergamides
- Continue in vitro and in vivo characterization of the Shulgin Vault, newly synthesized, and isolated plant compounds
- Continue Phase 1 clinical research
- Ongoing: consulting, advisory, and educational services
