The renewal and expansion of this collaboration recognizes the success of Associate Professor of Chemistry &amp; Biochemistry Dr. David R. Manke and his associated team of researchers in the synthesis and crystallography of novel tryptamines. To date, Dr. Manke\u2019s team has successfully synthesized more than seventy novel tryptamines and structurally characterized more than forty such compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have been consistently blown away by the results of CaaMTech\u2019s collaboration with Dr. Manke and his team at UMass Dartmouth,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/caam.tech\/team\/andrew-chadeayne\/\">Dr. Andrew Chadeayne<\/a>, CEO of CaaMTech. \u201cIn less than two years, Dr. Manke has synthesized and crystallographically characterized more novel tryptamines than anyone in history. The next generation of mental health drugs will come from the library of compounds that we have already developed. Now we\u2019re doubling down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research collaboration between CaaMTech and UMass Dartmouth has produced several classes of novel molecules.\u00a0 The library of compounds produced by the collaboration includes synthetic versions of naturally-occurring tryptamine compounds found in psychedelic plants and fungi, such as psilocybin-containing \u201cmagic mushrooms.\u201d\u00a0 Many of these compounds proceed to the labs of the National Institutes of Health for further research as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/caam.tech\/caamtech-collaborates-with-national-institutes-of-health-to-research-psychedelics\/\">CaaMTech\u2019s Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Designer Drug Research Unit (DDRU) at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Intramural Research Program (IRP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe collaboration with CaaMTech provides a great opportunity for students to work on cutting edge therapeutics, while allowing them to learn new techniques in the lab,\u201d said Dr. Manke. \u201cI am especially grateful for the opportunity to help our military veterans by developing pharmaceutical treatments for PTSD.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaborative research between CaaMTech and UMass Dartmouth is foundational to the development of next-generation psychedelic medicines. While first-generation tryptamines, such as psilocybin, provided an obvious starting point for therapies such as psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, the economic and clinical limitations of these compounds (e.g. onset\/duration of action) are beginning to cause concern for clinicians. Developing next-generation pharmaceutical products requires pure, well characterized ingredients. Through the collaboration with Dr. Manke and his team at UMass Dartmouth, CaaMTech continues to exponentially expand the menu of active ingredients for next-generation psychedelic drug products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About CaaMTech<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/caam.tech\/\">CaaMTech<\/a> is the foremost drug discovery and lead optimization company focused on engineering psychedelic drugs that meet the standards of modern medicine.
