VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Core One Labs Inc. (CSE: COOL ), (OTC: CLABF ), (Frankfurt: LD6 , WKN: A3CSSU ) ( Core One or the Company ) is pleased to announce that it has progressed its work on biosynthesizing N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and has been approved by Health Canada to add N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) to the schedule of approved controlled substances under the existing licence granted by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act ( CDSA ) Dealers Licence (the Licence ) which allows its wholly owned subsidiary Vocan Biotechnologies Inc. (Vocan) to research and produce biosynthetic psilocybin.

Furnished with its renewed licence in the second half of 2021, and having now received approval to add DMT to its licence coverage, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary Vocan Biotechnologies Inc. under its operating labs licence, has furthered its engineering and design optimization efforts for the proprietary manufacturing of API-grade DMT. The Companys team of scientists at Vocan have been working diligently to expand a psychedelics production pipeline to include DMT. Initial indications of design and engineering suggest that using the same recombinant enzyme fermentation platform utilized to produce API-grade psilocybin, Vocan scientists will be able to replicate its biosynthesized psilocibin successes and announce ability to produce stereochemically sound biosynthesized DMT at scale.

The Company is confident that replication of historical research and development processes performed for its successful biosynthesis of psilocibin will allow for a more rapid turn around of its second biosynthesized psychedelic compound, DMT. Following similar processes of engineering and design may also increase probability of the Companys filing of a patent for this second proprietary compound in the near term.

Based on the significant progress we have made on biosynthesizing psilocybin, DMT is the next compound we are working to biosynthesize. As we expect completion of the process for psilocybin in the upcoming days, we believe that we can fast track the process for DMT, as it uses the same steps to biosynthesize the compounds. Our team of leading scientists have done an amazing job in getting us to this stage and we are excited about the results we are seeing, stated Joel Shacker CEO of the Company.
