Abstract :

Introduction: Synthesis of psychedelics for a new addictolytic treatment in alcoholism: Is this treatment compatible with pregnancy or breastfeeding period? Psychedelics are of increasing interest in the management of patients suffering from alcohol addiction. Several addictolytic treatments exist but the effectiveness remains modest in maintaining abstinence in alcoholic patients. Women are increasingly affected by alcohol addiction, especially during the reproductive period. The question arises of the teratogenic and fetotoxic risk of exposure to alcohol and taking medication to avoid alcohol dependence. Obtain the synthesis of a new drug in the management of patients suffering from severe alcohol use disorders. It seems important to verify the reproductive risk of these new molecules in order to consider whether their future use in pregnant or breastfeeding women or not. Materials and methods: • Development of a pharmaceutical circuit of psychedelics. • Composition of the capsules according to good pharmaceutical practices. • Access to a CNRS technical platform in Orleans with a chemist for clinical trials following ANSM recommendations. • Work on Reprotox and Lactmed databases to assess teratogenicity potential of psychedelic drugs. Results and conclusions: As of November 25, 2022, successful synthesis of psychedelics for future clinical trials, Study of the teratogenicity of molecules during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We need now evaluate potential teratogenicity of psychedelic drugs. We are working with a new biomolecular platform for fundamental research.
