The Potential of Psychedelics for the Treatment of Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Описание: There is renewed interest in developing psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD, or MDMA as potential treatments for mental health disorders, including major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety. This presentation will explain the different types of psychedelics that are being investigated as potential drugs, provide an overview of their long history of use, and present current efforts to bring these potential drugs to the clinic with an emphasis on the pharmacology and current understanding of the mode of action as well as the ADME properties of these compounds. Lastly, we will briefly touch on potential challenges.

Key concepts discussed in this webinar include:
• An overview of psychedelics
• Pharmacology, mode of action, and ADME properties
• Development of the next generation of psychedelics
• Clinical trials
• Challenges for psychedelic drug development
