Our Study Confirms 3-MMC’s Analgesic and Mood-Enhancing Potential

 

We’re proud to announce the second peer-reviewed publication of our Phase 1 study on 3-MMC, is now published in Psychopharmacology. This follow-up paper dives deeper into the analgesic effects and mood-related outcomes of 3-MMC in healthy volunteers.

 


Study Highlights

  • Design: Double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over
  • Participants: 14 healthy individuals
  • Dosages: 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg
  • Measures: Pain threshold (PPT), cold pressor test (CPT), mood, side effects

 


What We Found

✔️ Pain relief: Dose-related increases in pain threshold and tolerance

✔️ Mood enhancement: Positive mood effects peaking 1 hour post-dosing

✔️ Safety: No severe side effects reported — mild and transient adverse events only

 


Key Statement from the Publication:

 

“This seems to suggest that the adverse event profile of 3-MMC is benign at low to moderate doses which might increase opportunities for medical use of 3-MMC in the treatment of pain. Given its mood enhancing property, 3-MMC might also provide a potential treatment for mental health disorders related to pain such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).”

 


Why This Matters

Pain and mood are deeply intertwined — particularly in conditions like PMDD, which affect millions of women but remain underserved by innovation.

This publication strengthens our commitment to:

  • Exploring safe, evidence-based applications of psychoactive compounds
  • Designing research that prioritizes the complex realities of women’s health
  • Opening the door for new therapeutic possibilities where few exist today
