The collaboration will evaluate CaaMTech\u2019s proprietary compounds in addiction models as well as aim to demonstrate their anti-addictive properties.\u00a0 University of Wyoming Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dr. Ana Clara Bobadilla, will lead the research project on behalf of the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor over 50 years, psychedelics have been classified as drugs with a high potential for abuse and no therapeutic value,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/caam.tech\/team\/andrew-chadeayne\/\">Dr. Andrew Chadeayne<\/a>, CEO of CaaMTech. \u201cWith this research collaboration, we aim to show that CaaMTech\u2019s compounds have minimal risk of addiction and also tremendous potential for treating it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assessing the abuse potential of novel compounds is essential to understanding their suitability for development into approved drugs.&nbsp; University of Wyoming researchers will evaluate&nbsp; next-generation drugs from CaaMTech\u2019s library using several established preclinical addiction models.&nbsp; Prior research has shown that most well-known psychedelics pose little risk of abuse from addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe collaboration with CaaMTech provides a great opportunity for the Wyoming biomedical community to work on cutting edge therapeutics, as well as for local students to learn new preclinical models used in the lab,\u201d said Dr. Bobadilla. \u201cI am eager to investigate psychedelics as a potential therapeutic target &#8211; a class of drugs that the substance abuse field might have overlooked for too long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research also aims to demonstrate the predicted therapeutic properties of CaaMTech\u2019s library of next-generation compounds to treat drug craving. Recent studies have shown that some psychedelics have tremendous potential for treating drug addiction.&nbsp; Researchers will test CaaMTech\u2019s library of compounds on poly-reward models of self-administration and relapse, including a dual cocaine and sucrose self-administration model developed by the Bobadilla Lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCaaMTech aims to increase the number of compounds with established therapeutic properties,\u201d said Dr. Chadeayne. \u201cWe are grateful for the opportunity to work with Dr. Bobadilla to advance our fundamental understanding of addiction and how to treat it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Scientists will assess the potential of psychedelic compounds for treating addiction<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379"}],"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=379"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":381,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379\/revisions\/381"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/caam.tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
