Target the repair pathway. Not the trip. Preclinical neuroscience: a low-dose psilocybin capsule designed to be taken at home. First question: mild PTSD.

1/4 For veterans, first responders, and everyday adults living with PTSD, chronic stress physically prunes synaptic connections in the prefrontal cortex, as studied in preclinical rat models of BDNF/TrkB signaling.
3/4 Observed in rats, not people. Whether a sub-perceptual capsule (XYCO-02) helps adults with mild PTSD is what we aim to test.

This Veterans Day, honoring service means confronting what follows too many home.
29% of Iraq/Afghanistan vets face PTSD, yet only 27% screening positive get care. Trauma is biology, not weakness.

1/4 Two switches. In a 2026 rat study (Ascone et al., Neuropsychopharmacology, DOI: 10.1038/s41386-026-02361-x), repeated low-dose oral psilocybin (0.1 mg/kg p.o.) rescued object-recognition memory in male Fmr1 rats.
3/4 Observed in rats. Not people. A Fragile X rat model is not human PTSD, and whether a sub-perceptual oral capsule engages TrkB in humans has not yet been tested.

Target the repair pathway. Not the trip.
How Xycota Biosciences is testing whether the TrkB-BDNF synaptic repair pathway (Ascone et al., 2026) can be engaged by a sub-perceptual 1.5 mg oral capsule (XYCO-02) at home: https://t.co/Uc4U4foxtx
Preclinical/investigational.
Target the repair pathway. Not the trip.
In the 2026 Fragile X rat study (Ascone et al.), memory rescue persisted under 5-HT2A blockade and disappeared under TrkB blockade. Next question: mild PTSD in humans (XYCO-02). https://t.co/1ucscqsMYW
Preclinical; not approved.
1/5 BioAdaptives, Inc. (OTCID: BDPT) and Xycota Biosciences signed a definitive acquisition agreement (Oct 29, 2026; Form 8-K Nov 4). Signed, not closed.

4/5 Next step for XYCO-02: complete the Canadian Clinical Trial Application and submit with KGK Science for a proposed 28-day double-blind at-home study in mild PTSD.
