Abstract

BPL-003, a novel intranasal formulation of , was well tolerated at doses up to 12 mg with no serious adverse events.

  • Most adverse events were mild, including nasal discomfort, nausea, headache, and vomiting.
  • 5-MeO-DMT was rapidly absorbed, reaching peak plasma concentration in approximately 8-10 minutes.
  • The mean terminal elimination half-life of 5-MeO-DMT was less than 27 minutes.
  • Systemic exposure to 5-MeO-DMT increased approximately dose-proportionally.
  • 60% of participants reported a 'complete ' at the 10 and 12 mg doses.
  • Profound consciousness-altering effects were observed, characterized by rapid onset and short duration.
