About Us

About
Ensysce

Ensysce Biosciences is developing first-in-class and uniquely innovative solutions in oral drug delivery.

Our proprietary TAAP™ and MPAR® technologies improve the care and safety of patients by preventing the possibility of both abuse and overdose of prescription drugs.

Our mission is to revolutionize the safety and oral delivery of medicines for areas of high unmet need.

Our Philosophy

Ensysce focuses on innovative chemistry to meet research & development goals.

Our approach is to look at drug delivery from a different view, using sophisticated chemistry to change the mode of activation rather than just modify a formulation. We combine anti-abuse and anti-overdose technology to effectively control the way a drug is turned on or turned off. This works by means of a unique 2-step verification mechanism for oral administration.
