(Nasdaq: ATAI) newly launched platform company Invyxis, focused on developing next-generation small molecule therapies based on psychedelics and related compounds for mental health disorders. The goal of the partnership is to establish a diversified pipeline of new chemical entities (NCE) designed to improve upon current compounds in clinical and preclinical development to treat these disorders.<\/p>\n<p>Initial work will focus on designing novel compounds aimed at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor with other central nervous system (CNS) targets to follow. In addition to the creation of the pipeline, the collaboration critically includes the creation of a substantial pharmacology platform that will enable deep interrogation of known and novel compounds at a target level.<\/p>\n<p>There is a significant opportunity for improved next-generation therapies to address mental health disorders. Over the past several years, a massive amount of preclinical and clinical knowledge has been generated around the use of psychedelic and related compounds for the treatment of these disorders. Investing in rapidly advancing NCE programs in this emerging and rapidly evolving space is a critical opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the collaboration, Dalriada assumes responsibility for the discovery R&amp;D programs, including the hit identification, hit to lead, and lead optimization stages up to the nomination of the development candidate. atai will be responsible for the preclinical and clinical development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dalriada Chief Executive and co-founder, Diana Kraskouskaya said of the partnership with atai:<\/strong> <em>\u201cWe are delighted to be working with atai, a company equally relentless in their pursuit of better medicines. An agile approach is a key factor for success and Dalriada brings this to the collaboration by providing our Turn-Key\u2122 drug discovery resource that includes R&amp;D expertise, infrastructure, and highly skilled scientific teams spanning medicinal chemistry, biology, bioanalytical and computational chemistry.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dalriada\u2019s Chief Scientific Officer, Prof. Patrick Gunning commented:<\/strong> <em>\u201cThere is a significant opportunity to deliver enhanced small molecule therapies building on the existing and emerging knowledge of psychedelics\u2019 mechanism of action. Our work with Invyxis will add proven and innovative biological and medicinal chemistry capabilities to grow atai\u2019s portfolio of NCEs.
