Mydecine Innovations Group, or simply Mydecine, is an American and Canadian pharmaceutical company that is developing psychedelics and entactogens as medicines.
In August 2022, it was reported that Mydecine was experiencing financial difficulties and might cease operations. However, the company was able to obtain more funding and did not shutdown. Mydecine made the first legal import of magic mushrooms into Canada in 2021.
Mydecine's drug candidates include the psychedelics psilocybin (MYCO-001, MYCO-003), MYCO-004 (a patch-delivered tryptamine), and MYCO-005 (a novel aza psilocin analogue with putatively better safety) and the novel MDMA-like entactogens MYCO-002 (putatively safer), MYCO-006 (short-acting), and MYCO-007 (short-acting).
Although the chemical structures of most of its drug candidates have not been disclosed, Mydecine has patented 5-BZT-MDMA (MY100) and 6-BZT-MDMA (MY101) as short-acting MDMA analogues.
The company Mydecine Innovations Group developed a proprietary compound MYCO-005, which mimics the active ingredient in psilocybin, but with a more rapid onset and shorter duration of action.84 [...]
Just last month Mydecine announced it has successfully synthesized multiple short-acting MDMA analogs. This family of analogs had been specifically designed by experts at Mydecine to have a shorter half-life than traditional MDMA. The company has named this family of novel molecules MYCO-006 and applied for patent coverage with the World Intellectual Property Organization.
MYCO - 006 and 007 represent families of molecules that are based on MDMA molecules. MYCO -006 and MYCO – 007 have been developed in order to reduce the overall acute experience time of Generation 1 MDMA by increasing the metabolism properties of the drug.
