QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Cybin Corp. and IntelGenx Corp. to Collaborate in Development of Fast-Acting Psilocybin Film

Cybin Corp., Canada’s premier mushroom life sciences company focused on advancing psychedelic and nutraceutical-based products derived from fungi, today announced its entry into a feasibility agreement with IntelGenx Corp. (OTCQB: IGXT) (TSX-V:IGX) for the development of an orally-dissolving film for the delivery of pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin, subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. “We at Cybin are proud to be working with IntelGenx to develop a fast-acting psilocybin film,” Cybin’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jukka Karjalainen, stated in the news release. “Compared to oral psilocybin capsules, which are subject to variable intestinal absorption and high first-pass metabolism in the liver, the systemic bioavailability of orally-dissolving psilocybin film is expected to be quite high. In addition, the dose of psilocybin administered by an orally-dissolving film is expected to be a fraction of what is required in oral capsules. Taken together, these features have the potential to increase both the safety and efficacy of psilocybin when administered in this manner.”
