  • Publication number: 20240245632
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of treating substance use disorders comprising the oral administration mescaline or a salt thereof. In another aspect, the oral administration comprises a pharmaceutical composition comprising synthetic mescaline. The synthetic mescaline, mescaline or salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein, provide several advantages over plant extracted mescaline. For example, plant extractions can have varying concentrations of active mescaline leading to dosing variability and potency. In additional embodiments, the administration is accompanied with a preparatory therapy session. In another aspect, the method further comprises a plurality of treatment steps to aid in the efficacy of treating substance use disorders.

  • Publication number: 20240245633
    Abstract: The T cell specific RORgamma isoform RORgammat has been shown to be the key lineage-defining transcription factor to initiate the differentiation program of TH17 and TC17 cells, cells that have demonstrated anti-tumor efficacy, RORgammat controls gene networks that enhance immunity including increased IL17 production and decreased immune suppression. Agonists of RORgammat have been shown to increase the basal activity of RORgammat enhancing TH17 cell proliferation. Here we show that activation of RORgammat using synthetic agonists drives proliferation of cells while decreasing levels of the immune checkpoint protein PD-1, a mechanism that should enhance anti-tumor immunity while blunting tumor associated adaptive immune resistance. Interestingly, putative endogenous agonists drive proliferation of TH17 cells but do not repress PD-1.
