Mindstate Design Labs is an American pharmaceutical company which is studying psychedelic drugs and developing combinations of psychedelics and other drugs for potential medical use.[1][2][3] The company makes prominent use of artificial intelligence (AI) in their drug development process.[1][2][3][4][5]

Company history

[edit]

Mindstate Design Labs is based in San Francisco, California[3] and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania[6][7][8] and was founded in 2021,[7][8][9] with its public launch in January 2022.[4][6] The company was co-founded by Dillan DiNardo, a biotechnology venture capitalist, and Thomas "Tom" Ray, an evolutionary biologist.[10][2][1][3][9] DiNardo serves as the company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), while Ray is the company's scientific founder.[2][1][3] Beyond his work as an evolutionary biologist, Ray is notable in having published a major study screening the receptor and other target interactions of 35 different serotonergic psychedelics and related psychoactive drugs in 2010.[11][12] Another notable employee is Josie Kins, who works as a psychedelic phenomenologist and AI performance specialist at the company.[13][14][15][16] Mindstate Design Labs is a Silicon Valley-backed Y Combinator tech startup.[1][2][4][17][10][9] It raised US$11.5 million during an initial round of funding in early 2022.[4][17][10][6][9] By June 2025, it had raised over US$24 million.[3]

Drug candidates

[edit]

Different serotonergic psychedelics have been anecdotally reported to produce widely varying subjective effects, with this thought to be due to differences in their pharmacology.[2][4][11][18][19][20] Relatedly, Mindstate Design Labs is attempting to develop multitarget psychedelic combinations that reliably produce specific precision-designed and highly tailored altered states of consciousness, including for use in supervised psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy settings.[2][1][3][4][21] Their lead drug candidate is MSD-001 (5-MeO-MiPT; "Moxy"), which is a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist[12][22][23] and atypical serotonergic psychedelic with relatively mild hallucinogenic effects as well as some MDMA- or entactogen-like effects.[2][1][3][21][10][20] The company intends to use this drug as a neutral base component and sort of "psychedelic tofu" for a series of combinations with other psychedelic as well as non-psychedelic drugs to produce different kinds of experiences.[1][2][3][4][24][25]

As of October 2025, MSD-001 is in phase 1 clinical trials for treatment of mental disorders, with one phase 1 trial having been completed.[26][1][2][27] In the study, MSD-001 produced effects including heightened emotions, associative thinking, enhanced imagination, and mild perceptual effects such as brighter colors, but no hallucinations, self-disintegration, oceanic boundlessness, or other overt hallucinogenic effects typical of conventional psychedelic experiences.[1][4][5] A second phase 1 trial will evaluate a combination of MSD-001 with another undisclosed drug.[21] This first combination is aimed to create a psychoactive therapeutic that reduces anxiety, increases insight, and enhances aesthetic appreciation.[1] Mindstate Design Labs has notably patented a variety of therapeutic combinations producing entactogenic altered states of consciousness.[28][29] The specific medical indications of the company's combination therapeutics haven't yet been decided, but potential uses include treatment of anxiety disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and phobias, mood disorders like depression, and other mental and behavioral health conditions.[1][21][4][17][10]

5-MeO-MiPT was originally developed by Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin and David Repke and colleagues in 1985.[2][4][25][20][30] Shulgin was among the most prolific psychedelic chemists and wrote the books PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) and TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved) documenting the properties and effects of hundreds of different psychedelic drugs.[31][19][20] Thomas Ray was a personal friend and collaborator of Shulgin.[15][2] While Shulgin passed away in 2014,[31] his widow and co-author of PiHKAL and TiHKAL, Ann Shulgin, became a co-owner of Mindstate Design Labs with its founding, remaining in this role until her own death in 2022.[2] One intention of Mindstate Design Labs is to extend Alexander Shulgin's work of studying the effects of different psychedelic drugs, but with novel and more technologically ambitious methods.[2]

AI platform

[edit]

Many serotonergic psychedelics are highly promiscuous or non-selective in their pharmacology, acting on many different receptors and other targets, with this thought to result in differences in their subjective effects.[4][32][12][33] Mindstate Design Labs has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) platform based on large language models (LLMs) called Osmanthus in order to map the relationships between the target interactions and psychoactive effects of dozens of psychedelics.[2][3][4][17][24][34][35] Other research of this kind has also been done by another group led by Danilo Bzdok at McGill University, with Mindstate Design Labs researchers having subsequently collaborated with this group.[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]

Using the Osmanthus platform, Mindstate Design Labs has processed over 70,000 trip reports from the Internet and scientific literature, representing essentially "every trip report in existence", and developed a catalogue of over 600 distinct psychedelic effects.[1][2][3][4][17][24][16] In addition, they have correlated these effects with target interactions using data from thousands of receptor interaction assays.[2] The goals of these efforts are to predict the effects in psychedelic experiences based on pharmacology and to engineer new kinds of psychedelic experiences.[2] This in turn is intended to develop better-tolerated, safer, and more predictable psychedelic therapeutics, as well as to help shed light on the workings of consciousness.[1][2][3][32][24]

MSD-001 (5-MeO-MiPT) is said to have been selected for development using Osmanthus.[4][17][44] In addition, the phase 1 clinical trial findings of MSD-001 have been said by the company to be a validation of its AI platform.[1] According to DiNardo, Mindstate Design Labs is the first company to take such an AI-based approach to psychedelic drug development.[4] On the other hand, Mindstate Design Labs's use of AI and trip reports has been regarded as controversial by some in the field, for instance being unconventional and remaining yet-to-be-validated.[5]

[edit]

In January 2022, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) proposed making 5-MeO-MiPT and several other unscheduled and relatively obscure psychedelic tryptamines Schedule I controlled substances in the country.[45][46] This would have created great difficulties in terms of scientific study and potential pharmaceutical development of these drugs for medical use.[46] As a result, the move was prominently opposed by the psychedelic community, including by DiNardo and Mindstate Design Labs, along with a large number of other individuals and organizations.[47][35][48][46][49][50] In July 2022, facing significant opposition, the DEA withdrew the proposal to ban the drugs.[46][49]

Agonist or partial agonist activity at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor was ultimately concluded to be a necessary pharmacology for psychedelic effects, but it may not be sufficient to explain all of the qualitative differences between different drugs. As Ray (2010) pointed out, different molecules may also have significant affinity for other types of brain receptors. [...] Therefore, when a molecule is classified as a 5-HT2A agonist, what exactly does that mean in terms of cellular responses? Furthermore, how will different proportions of intracellular signaling events affect the qualitative aspects of a "psychedelic" intoxication? It will take a great deal more research before these questions can be answered. [...] Ray (2010) reported on receptor screening of 25 hallucinogens and analogs by the National Institute of Mental Health Psychoactive Drug Screening Program, with affinities of 10 additional drugs taken from the literature. The 35 drugs of the study had very diverse patterns of interaction, which may underlie some of the qualitative psychopharmacological differences between the drugs. Functional effects of the various compounds were not studied, however, which would have strengthened the conclusions and given more detailed insight into the possible relevance of receptors where some of the tested drugs had relatively high affinity.

Psychonaut turned scientific researcher Josie Kins has personally tried over 200 psychedelic compounds and had hundreds of psychedelic experiences. But she no longer takes them herself. "I've already explored them so thoroughly," she says. Over the past 12 years, Kins has compiled a list of 233 effects people experience under the influence of psychedelic drugs, drawn from online accounts and her own experience, called the Subjective Effect Index. In 2021, she began working for a startup drug company called Mindstate Design Labs to make the classification system more precise and comprehensive, under the advisement of renowned psychedelic researchers Thomas Ray and Andy Newburg. That work could double the total number of entries on the list, she says. But it's the cognitive and emotional effects that seem to elude categorization and need the most refining. "The visual effects are already rigorous," says Kins.

[...] One might offer the speculative hypothesis that tryptamine hallucinogens with a significant agonist action at 5-HT1A receptors may elicit subtle qualitative effects that distinguish them from phenethylamine type hallucinogens, a quality that is sometimes anecdotally reported by recreational users. Although Wolbach et al. (1962) have reported that the psychopharmacological effects of psilocybin, LSD, and mescaline were virtually indistinguishable in humans, there have been no controlled studies to compare any of these three classical agents with newer phenethylamine hallucinogens that are more selective for the 5-HT2A/2C receptors.

These drugs are "very effective, but they're scary and they're chaotic and they're unpredictable," says Dillan DiNardo, CEO of psychedelic drug development company Mindstate Design Labs. [...] Mindstate, and plenty of companies like it, think they've found a workaround: what if psychedelics could be tamed and toned down, tweaked to keep their psychological benefits while reducing many of their risks? This approach could, in theory, improve patients' experiences, boost the drugs' efficacy, and make psychedelics more palatable to regulators at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [...] To that end, Mindstate Design Labs is working to build drugs that cause psychedelic trips, but selectively. "Psychedelics are very promiscuous molecules," Mindstate CEO DiNardo explains. "They interact with sites all over the brain." Mindstate's goal is to tailor them to cause more targeted effects.Aided by artificial intelligence, the company analyzed troves of data on how different psychedelics affect the brain, including tens of thousands of "trip reports" from drug users. The idea, DiNardo says, is to get granular enough to design medications that alter consciousness in seemingly beneficial ways (like through mystical experiences, altered perceptions of time and space, and feelings of "sacredness") while avoiding effects that don't seem useful (like auditory distortions and loss of control). Through its analysis, Mindstate identified a drug that DiNardo calls "psychedelic tofu"—that is, one that's relatively bland and basic as psychedelics go, but that can be spiced up when paired with compounds that trigger desired effects in the brain. The FDA in early September gave Mindstate the green light to start testing its "tofu" drug; if that proves safe, the company will then begin testing it in combination with other compounds, DiNardo says.
