Cybin Presents CYB003 Preclinical Data at 2022 American College of Neuropsychopharmacology Annual Meeting

- New findings underscore potential of CYB003 as a novel psychedelic-based therapeutic for the treatment of depression -

Cybin Inc. (NEO:CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) (Cybin or the Company), a biopharmaceutical company focused on progressing Psychedelics to Therapeutics®, today announced that the Company presented two posters on its deuterated psilocybin analog, CYB003, at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (“ACNP”) annual meeting taking place December 4-7, 2022, in Phoenix, Arizona. The data presented, including new pharmacokinetics (“PK”) findings, further strengthen the therapeutic profile of CYB003 as a novel treatment for major depressive disorder (“MDD”).

“These new findings demonstrate the unique PK properties of CYB003 compared with classical psilocybin and further supports our ongoing first-in-human Phase 1/2a clinical trial evaluating CYB003 for the treatment of MDD,” said Amir Inamdar, MBBS, DNB (Psych), MFPM, Cybin’s Chief Medical Officer. “We were honored to present our data at ACNP amongst leading scientists and academics in neuropsychopharmacology.”

“Compared to classical psilocybin, CYB003 has demonstrated less variability in plasma levels, faster onset of action, shorter duration of effect, and potentially better tolerability. The potential therapeutic benefits of this molecule could result in shorter treatment time and reduce the resource burden on the healthcare system,” said Michael Palfreyman, Ph.D., Cybin’s Chief Research and Development Officer.

About CYB003

CYB003 is derived from psilocybin, which is part of a family of molecules called indolamines that include more common neurotransmitters, such as serotonin. Psilocybin is dephosphorylated to form its metabolite, psilocin, which can cross the blood-brain-barrier. Given its structural similarity to serotonin, psilocin can easily activate the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. CYB003 is a deuterated psilocybin analog designed to achieve less variability in plasma levels, faster onset of action, shorter duration of effect and potentially better tolerability for an overall better outcome for patients. CYB003 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1/2a clinical trial for the treatment of major depressive disorder.
