For example, Discordia’s own company, EQUULUS, is developing small-molecule drugs for psychiatric and neurological disorders with a strong focus on addiction disorders. The company’s lead asset, EQL-101, is a psychedelic-inspired anti-addiction therapeutic that is based on the therapeutic benefits of ibogaine. This is a naturally-occurring substance from the Iboga tree that has been used for many years to treat substance use disorders but has a significant and long hallucinogenic phase with dangerous and potentially lethal cardiac side effects. “EQL-101 is non-hallucinogenic and non-cardiotoxic but has been shown in preclinical testing to hold similar efficacy to treat addictions to various substances,” said Discordia.
