Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Lucid Psycheceuticals Inc. ("Lucid"), Quantum BioPharma is focused on the research and development of its lead compound, Lucid-MS. Lucid-MS is a patented new chemical entity shown to prevent and reverse myelin degradation, the underlying mechanism of multiple sclerosis, in preclinical models. Quantum BioPharma invented unbuzzd™ and spun it out its OTC version to a company, Celly Nutrition Corp. ("Celly Nutrition"), led by industry veterans.

Once $250 million is reached, the royalty drops to 3% in perpetuity.
