The world is facing significant problems

at the intersection of pharmacology,
mental health, and sustainability.

.....

Climate change, drought, environmental damage and supply chain issues endanger the cultivation and quality of food:

• Current production methods use finite resources very inefficiently

• Food and medicine production practices are bad for the environment and unsustainable in the long run
• The world is facing food and medicine shortages due to wars, climate change, and supply chain issues

.....

Society is confronting a mental health challenge (depression, anxiety, PTSD and other conditions):

• 2 billion people worldwide suffer from mental illness every year
• 1 in 25 people experience debilitating mental illness
• 50% of the worldwide population will experience mental illness in their lifetime
• The projected worldwide cost of mental disorders by 2030 is $16 Trillion

.....

The current mental health pharmacology is based on the extraction of active ingredients from naturally-occurring plants. The cultivation and collection of the desired molecules:

• Requires vast spaces serviced with large volume of resources (water, electricity) 
• Brings many plants to the brink of extinction 
• Creates a significant carbon footprint and is environmentally destructive
• Most harvesting methods are tortuous to the animals

An alternative production method is chemical synthesis, based on which the desired molecules are created by combining reactants with (hazardous) catalysts and solvents. This method is not desired as:

• It is difficult to control the chemistry 
• It can create the “wrong version” of the product which is not bioidentical to the desired molecule
• Hazardous chemicals create health and environmental hazards
• It is extremely costly depending on the required chemical reactions 
• It produces significant amounts of chemical waste and CO2 per KG of product

Advanced synthetic biology for planet and human health

CB Therapeutics has developed an innovative synthetic biology & cellular agriculture platform to efficiently discover, develop, and produce molecules and compounds — to solve humankind’s most challenging mental health, healthcare, food, and environmental problems. 

Our mission is to produce drugs and food products by using minimal resources, in the most efficient way possible, while driving down the cost of production, AND doing it in a sustainable way that is good for the environment.

Biosynthesis

---

With this process, we guide genetically programmed enzymes to convert sugars into the desired products.  

The advantages of this process are:

• High-purity bioidentical products
  Without heavy metals, pesticides or other impurities
• A green technology
  Has the smallest carbon footprint, does not produce toxic waste chemicals and does not impact plant and animal biodiversity
• Fast production cycle turnaround
  5-day fermentation allows for on demand production
• Extreme flexibility at low cost
  Analogs can be created biosynthetically by plug-and-play modular enzyme parts, using unnatural precursors for bioconversion
• Patented technology
  Making use of cutting-edge proprietary innovations in gene and protein creation; precise control over molecule biosynthesis for pure end-product

In addition, CB Therapeutics offers the following services to other biotech companies:

• Consulting

• Strain optimization 

• Fermentation 

• Analysis

$2M in IP licensing fees

• Raised $400K from Psychedelics VC firm in Jan 2023
• Two additional clients signed up for fermentation services
• Joint venture(TryptageniX, Inc.) formed in Dec 2021 with Atai Life Sciences (NASDAQ:ATAI), the largest psychedelics clinical trials company in the world!
• $2M in IP licensing fees to CB Therapeutics, along with monthly recurring revenues for the development and production of next-generation psychedelics and processes
• Near-term path to profitability (see Customers, below).*

New LOI and MSA agreements signed

Current prospects give us a
near-term path to profitability.*

In addition to our revenue generating JV with Atai Life Sciences, CB Therapeutics has signed up 3 new clients. It earns monthly revenue which covers a significant portion of its monthly expenses. That fact, alone, separates it from any comparable biotech startup company.

We are in the negotiation stage with another three prospective clients. These transactions are expected to close within the next three months, at which point the company will be profitable. 

Our transaction pipeline is lengthy and it includes Fortune 500-size entities. 

Leveraging multiple
revenue streams

Income is contributed from the following activities:

• Strain development: Monthly fee for R&D services

• Production: Proceeds from the production and sale of molecules when the R&D phase is completed

• Fermentation: Recurring monthly fees for fermentation services

• Lab testing: Fees for lab testing services

• Royalty fees: Amounts paid by our clients for the use of our products or patents by them

• Consulting/Analysis: Fees collected from offering consulting or analytical services
