  • Patent number: 12251371
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) as defined herein, which comprise a greater proportion of deuterium to protium than naturally found in hydrogen; and compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, comprising these compounds and optionally analogous compounds of formula (I), which are not deuterium-enriched. These compounds and compositions are of use in therapy, in particular in the treatment of psychiatric or neurological disorders. Varying the amounts of the different compounds within the compositions of the invention allows tailoring of the compositions' therapeutic effects.

  • Patent number: 11471417
    Abstract: Compounds, compositions, methods, and uses are described for therapeutic deuterated N,N-dimethyltryptamine compounds (e.g., a single compound or a plurality of deuterated N,N-dimethyltryptamine compounds) such as N,N-dimethyltryptamine compounds, ?-protio, ?-deutero-N,N-dimethyltryptamine compounds, ?,?-dideutero-N,N-dimethyltryptamine compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these compounds.

  • Publication number: 20220169606
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising compounds of formula I and II. These compositions have uses in the treatment of psychiatric or neurological disorders. Varying the relative amounts of the compounds of formula I and II within the compositions is expected to modulate the therapeutic effect. Related compounds of formula Ill comprise d3-monomethylamino or d6-dimethylamino groups and are useful internal standards for quantifying the amount of a target compound, such as an analogous compound comprising protio-monomethylamino or protio-dimethylamino groups. Thus, the present invention also relates to compounds of formula Ill and their uses as internal standards in assays for quantifying the amount of a target compound in a sample. A method of quantifying the amount of a target compound in a sample by adding a known amount of a compound of formula Ill to the sample is also included.

  • Publication number: 20220168274
    Abstract: The present invention relates to parenteral formulations, and kits and methods suitable for the preparation of such parenteral formulations. The parenteral formulations comprise a freebase of a deuterium-substituted dimethyltryptamine optionally substituted at position 4 or 5 with acetoxy or methoxy. The parenteral formulations also comprise a biocompatible excipient. Such formulations are suitable for inhalation and have uses in the treatment of psychiatric or neurological disorders. They are metabolised more slowly than their protio analogues, allowing for a longer lasting therapeutic effect.
