Washington Patent of the Month – December 2025
A breakthrough in pharmaceutical chemistry is paving the way for more reliable and effective mental health treatments. CaaMTech Inc. recently secured a new patent for high-purity crystalline versions of a unique psychedelic compound. This innovation addresses long-standing challenges in drug stability and dosing for emerging therapeutic research.
Advancing Psychedelic Medicine
The innovation focuses on U.S. Patent No. 12497360, titled ‘Crystalline 4-hydroxy-N,N-di-n-propyltryptammonium (4-HO-DPT) salts’. Traditional versions of this compound often suffer from inconsistent purity or poor shelf life. CaaMTech has developed specific crystalline structures that remain stable and predictable. These properties are essential for pharmaceutical manufacturing and clinical trials. By creating a standardized material, the company ensures that researchers can deliver precise doses every time.
Enhancing Reliability and Safety
Stability is a major hurdle when turning complex molecules into viable medicines. Crystalline salts offer better solubility and easier handling during the production process. This technical leap allows for more rigorous testing of the compound’s therapeutic potential. It also reduces the risk of degradation which can impact the safety of a drug. As the medical community explores new ways to treat depression and anxiety, these reliable foundations are critical.
Real-World Impact
The patent signals a shift toward professional-grade psychedelic healthcare. CaaMTech’s work helps move these compounds from experimental labs into regulated clinical settings. Their precise chemical engineering creates a clear path for future drug approvals. This development offers hope for patients seeking modern alternatives to existing psychiatric medications. Reliable chemistry is the first step toward the next generation of mental health care.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
