HAVN LIFE SCIENCES HITS MAJOR MILESTONE WITH RESEARCH PARTNER, COMPLEX BIOTECH DISCOVERY VENTURES

Havn Research signs contract with CBDV, located at The University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus, to begin Health Canada approved research to analyze psilocybin under Havn Life’s Section 56 exemption.

The results of the analysis will allow Havn Life to begin the development of a library of psilocybin compounds.


Vancouver, BC – Havn Life Sciences Inc. (CSE : HAVN) (FSE : 5NP(the “Company” or “Havn Life”), a biotechnology company pursuing standardized extraction of psychoactive compounds, the development of natural healthcare products, and innovative mental health treatment to support brain health and enhance the capabilities of the mind, is pleased to announce it is partnering with Complex Biotech Discovery Ventures (CBDV) to begin Health Canada approved analysis of psilocybin under Havn Life’s section 56 exemption.

CBDV is a licensed cannabis research and development firm focusing on extraction, optimization, analytical testing and chemical process development based at the Vancouver Campus at the University of British Columbia.

Havn Life will be conducting a comparative study at CBDV lab that will test various methodologies of extraction to assess the merits and drawbacks of each. The results will be used to help develop Havn Life’s methodology for analyzing psilocybin mushrooms and products.

In addition, Havn Life will work towards the development of the very first library of psilocybin compounds and lay the foundation for future development of proprietary extraction methods.

“Analysis is the foundation of Havn Life’s research objectives, enabling quality assurance and rapid development of our extraction techniques and methodologies,” says Alexzander Samuelsson, Chief Research Officer for Havn Life. “By building a foundational understanding of current methods used today, we will leverage known research to develop an optimal process for the standardization of psilocybin extraction. This ultimately allows Havn to supply academic researchers with high quality, standardized compounds.”

The study will provide Havn Life with the tools and an understanding of method development for specific compounds (psilocybin) that can later be used to develop a library of compounds for researchers.

“It will also mean that Havn Life can rapidly develop our proprietary extraction methods in-house more quickly by eliminating the need to send compounds to third-party labs,” explains Samuelsson. “This makes a huge difference between discovery and optimization to scaling processes, allowing Havn Life to expedite our internal development process.”

The work is enabled by Havn Life’s Section 56 exemption, granted by Health Canada, pursuant to which the company has the ability to possess certain amounts of pure psilocybin for scientific purposes, specifically for the research and development of quality control methods.

The Section 56 exemption also provides Havn Life with unique access to handle psilocybin and develop in-house analytical protocols. This will provide experience in quantitatively analyzing psilocybin as a cornerstone of quality control and quality assurance for process development and product reliability.

Push for Alternative Therapies Prods Researchers Towards Psilocybin

FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary

NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The psychedelics market is currently navigating a similar legal situation to the one the cannabis market found itself in for many years. Psychedelics are not legal for recreational use in Canada or the United States, yet medical research on the efficiency of such products may help reduce some of the stigma around them. In fact, some major developments have already begun to change the landscape for the better in this market. For example, earlier in 2019, the state of Colorado became the first state to decriminalize Magic Mushrooms (mushrooms containing psilocybin), taking the substance on a similar path to legalization as that of cannabis. Then, in November 2019, the FDA awarded the second Breakthrough Therapy designation to non-profit Usona Institute, which is studying the effects of psilocybin as an anti-depressant. Currently, despite the obstacles imposed by the legal status for such products, the psychedelic drugs market is expected to expand with a CAGR of 16.3%, reaching USD 6,859.95 Million by 2027, according to Data Bridge Market Research. Mydecine Innovations Group Inc. (OTC: MYCOF) (CSE: MYCO), Havn Life Sciences Inc. (OTC: HAVLF), Revive Therapeutics Ltd. (OTC: RVVTF), Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (OTC: MMEDF), Hollister Biosciences Inc. (OTC: HSTRF)

In recent years, there has been a significant flow of new information describing the effects of psychedelic compounds on the brain. For instance, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published data that helped explain that, under the influence of psilocybin, one of such active compounds often found in various types of mushrooms, the brain creates a feedback loop of neuron activity and neurotransmitter release (the chemical messengers that neurons use to communicate). According to the study, this provides an understanding of why psilocybin is showing considerable promise as a therapeutic intervention for neuropsychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, and addiction. “Using this model will be crucial for truly understanding how psilocybin can rebalance neuropsychiatric disorders such as treatment-resistant depression and addiction,” Morten Kringlebach, the study’s first author and a senior research fellow at the University of Oxford, explained according to Inverse.

Mydecine Innovations Group Inc. (OTC: MYCOF) (CSE: MYCO) announced last week, “that it has completed its first commercial harvest of 20 kilograms of psilocybin mushrooms at its research and cultivation facility in Jamaica. The Company is now preparing to export the harvest to its Canadian cGMP Facility which has a Health Canada schedule 1 Dealer’s License attached to it, allowing for legal import.

‘We are pleased to announce the completion of our first commercial harvest of natural psilocybin mushrooms,’ said Joshua Bartch, CEO and Chairman of Mydecine. ‘There is more research needed on these compounds in order to better understand the entourage effect experienced by patients which has shown dramatically effective results compared to single-molecule synthetic psilocybin in preliminary studies. As the industry grows, the need for naturally occurring psilocybin and access to large quantities of these molecules will be paramount and we are excited to be the first to advance this movement at scale.’

Once received by the Company’s facility in Canada, the psilocybin mushrooms will be extracted, purified, and turned into a cGMP final product for controlled therapeutic purposes. Mydecine’s final product be made available for purchase by other licensed institutions and companies conducting clinical research into the efficacy of these compounds to treat various health conditions including anxiety, addiction, depression and PTSD. Portions of the harvest will also be used for Mydecine’s proprietary genetic, pharmacology, and clinical research. The clinical use will be for the studies and developing protocols of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy to treat PTSD in veterans and other frontline workers.”

HAVN LIFE SCIENCES UNDERTAKES ONE OF THE FIRST PRECLINICAL STUDIES ON PSILOCYBIN AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

This is one of the first studies to examine how psilocybin affects the immune system and is a required step to file an application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for a Phase 1 clinical study in humans.


Vancouver, BC – Havn Life Sciences Inc. (CSE : HAVN) (FSE : 5NP(the “Company” or “Havn Life”), a Canadian biotechnology company pursuing standardized extraction of psychoactive compounds, the development of natural healthcare products, is pleased to announce the first preclinical study to focus on the effects of psilocybin on the immune system, in partnership with Dr. Geoffrey Bove, Dr. David Mokler and Susan Chapelle, eMBA.

The Company’s science division, Havn Research, is undertaking a study to determine if a single dose of psilocybin extract can impact the body’s inflammatory response and regulate the human immune system.

The Havn Life team will begin this preclinical study in Q1 2021. This study is the first step required to file an application for the development of psilocybin delivery methods that could address inflammatory and immune diseases such as arthritis.

Vic Neufeld, Executive Chairman of Havn Life stated: “We are tremendously excited about the potential to accelerate drug discovery and patient access to psilocybin based compounds. Upon completion of this initial phase, the Havn Life team will have taken the first step on its journey towards market authorization of new medicines. We intend to pursue the filing of an FDA application for psilocybin-based delivery methods, which may ultimately lead to new drug discovery. To date, minimal research has been done on psilocybin and its effects on human immunity, which is an area that has become more and more important.”

Although there is discussion related to the possible effects of psilocybin on inflammation, there has been no research on psilocybin’s impact on the immune system. This will be the one of the first studies to quantify the effects of psilocybin on the immune system and will also compare the differences in how psilocybin affects the immune system between the sexes.

“This is an exciting new application for psilocybin that has not yet been researched. The work is essential to understanding the safety profile of psilocybin and developing medicines to help support human health,” says Susan Chapelle. “The findings could lead to significant discoveries in the treatments of inflammatory diseases that have a profound negative effect on so many, such as pain, neuropathy and arthritis.”

About the Study

The Havn Life study will be conducted in the United States at Dr. Bove’s biomedical centre, in Maine.

The principal researchers will be Doctor Geoffrey Bove, Doctor David Mokler, and Susan Chapelle, EVP of Research and Development at Havn Life, who each have extensive clinical experience in wound healing, pain receptors, psychedelic and pharmacology research. They jointly published a research paper on post-operative adhesions in 2017. The study findings laid the groundwork for further research on mechanical and pharmacologic approaches for post-operative.

Doctor Mokler, is an advisor for Havn Life and has a dual doctorate Pharmacology/Toxicology and Neurosciences from Michigan State University.  His research, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, focuses on the limbic (emotion/behavior) system of the brain, and the role of serotonin in the limbic system.

Susan Chapelle, eMBA is an expert in wound healing and has co-authored 6 publications in peer reviewed journals. She is a noted international Keynote Speaker and industry expert on research, science education, urban transformation, cannabis and psychedelics policy, and technology integrations.

Geoffrey Bove, DC PhD is a career neurobiologist and chiropractor who researches pain mechanisms, especially as related to physical diagnosis and manual therapies. He has been independently funded by the National Institutes of Health and other institutions for 30 years. Previously faculty at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Bove conducts research at his private laboratory, Bove Consulting.

These veterans typically have tried all the available resources offered by the Department of Veteran Affairs with limited success leaving them with very few options.

“This collaboration between Havn Life and Heroic Hearts has the potential to make an extraordinary impact of the mental health and wellness of military veterans,” said Susan Chapelle, EVP of Research and Development at Havn Life. “Under the agreement, Havn Life will supply products and compounds to be used in Heroic Hearts’ future clinical studies that will investigate the effects of low-dosage psychedelic compounds on veterans suffering from emotional trauma and PTSD. This progressive research will help develop clinical trial formulations to aid in the recovery of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders. We look forward to working closely with veterans and others with military backgrounds.”

Heroic Hearts is also working to advance the body of scientific evidence around psychedelic compounds through approved research studies with the University of Georgia and the University of Colorado Boulder.

“We are laying the groundwork to lead  standardization of the psychedelic supply chain and the development of IP while also contributing to the limited research on PTSD, human performance optimization and cutting-edge mental health paradigms” Chapelle added.

Two-thirds of Canadian military personnel with PTSD do not respond completely to the best available evidence-based therapies, according to a 2018 study that examined recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration of injured service members and veterans. Further, suicide risk is higher in Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Veterans than the Canadian general population, found a “Life After Service” study published in 2016.

As part of the agreement, Havn Life will supply products for any future U.S. and Canadian studies, upon approval of  its Licensed Dealer application. Havn Life scientists will provide support for Heroic Heart’s current studies and aid in the development of research protocols. The collaboration will also explore the use of mental health and pharmacology management platforms to collect baseline and usage data from veterans.

Havn Life is also providing funding to launch a Heroic Hearts division in Canada, to help expand support to Canadian Veterans.
