PharmAla Biotech Holdings Inc. (CSE: MDMA / OTC: PMBHF), a biotechnology company focused on the research, development, and manufacturing of novel MDXX class molecules (including MDMA), is pleased to announce that Cortexa, its Joint Venture with Australian company Vitura Health (ASX: VIT) has executed its first purchase order for PharmAla’s GMP LaNeo MDMA, in both finished capsule and raw API forms.
Cortexa will also be ordering an amount of GMP Psilocybin API.
‘The long-term view on Cortexa is that it must – and will – stand on its own two feet in the Australian market, which we believe is more than capable of supporting manufacturing operations domestically. This is why we have transferred all of our manufacturing know-how to Cortexa as part of our Joint Venture agreement with Vitura. However, with the launch of the TGA’s regulatory changes allowing for the use of MDMA and Psilocybin by authorized prescribers as of July 1 – and demand ramping – we believe it makes sense to fulfill that demand immediately with previously-made materials in PharmAla’s Canadian inventory.’
Nick Kadysh, Chief Executive Officer of PharmAla
Cortexa’s first purchase order will have a total value of approximately $300,000 USD, and will be shipped on an expedited basis.
Completion of Shipment to University of Sydney
PharmAla is also pleased to announce that the previously-announced shipment to the University of Sydney has now cleared customs in Australia, completing the order.
