The research builds on <a href=\"https:\/\/caam.tech\/caamtech-structurally-characterizes-4-hydroxy-nn-di-n-propyltryptamine\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"22\">CaaMTech\u2019s November 2019 publication of the first structural characterization of deprocin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deprocin, also known as 4-HO-DPT, is a structural analog of psilocin, the active metabolite of psilocybin. Psilocybin is the most well-known psychedelic compound present in \u201cmagic mushrooms\u201d. Deprocin, not known to exist in nature, was first synthesized by Repke et al. in 1977. Alexander and Ann Shulgin reported the synthesis (and consumption) of 4-HO-DPT in the book <em>TiHKAL<\/em>, though little scientific research (aside from CaaMTech\u2019s recent work) has been conducted with deprocin since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deprocin hydrochloride is one of several psilocin analogs synthesized by CaaMTech as a part of CaaMTech\u2019s collaboration with the Manke Lab at UMass Dartmouth. Access to multiple psilocin analogs offers CaaMTech researchers a numerical advantage over others when selecting the pharmacological profile most appropriate for the treatment of a given indication.&nbsp; Deprocin hydrochloride will proceed to the DDRU at NIDA IRP where further research will be conducted as a part of CaaMTech\u2019s preclinical drug development program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cWe know that these compounds have similar pharmacology to psilocin, which is an incredible drug,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/caam.tech\/team\/andrew-chadeayne\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"151\">Andrew Chadeayne<\/a>, CaaMTech CEO. \u201cBased on those similarities alone, these are all good candidates for further research and preclinical development. More is better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deprocin research was conducted by CaaMTech in collaboration with the Manke Lab at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and represents yet another successful synthesis and crystallographic characterization of a novel tryptamine through the collaboration. Dr. David R. Manke and the Manke Lab have become leading contributors to the field of tryptamine chemistry through the collaboration with CaaMTech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CaaMTech has developed a library of well-characterized tryptamines for development, including deprocin, its salts and crystalline forms.&nbsp; CaaMTech\u2019s tryptamine library provides an unprecedented and unmatched number of ingredients for the development of next-generation psychedelic-based medicines. Next-generation psychedelic medicines promise to offer healthcare providers a variety of options beyond traditional antidepressants (or potentially, pure psilocybin) to treat some of the world\u2019s most intractable conditions, such as depression, addiction and PTSD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">4-HO-DPT hydrochloride is the second novel deprocin salt published by CaaMTech scientists<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
