Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. ( (JUNS) ) has provided an announcement.

On May 19, 2026, Jupiter Neurosciences entered into a non-binding term sheet with PharmAla Biotech to license exclusive, perpetual U.S. rights to ALA-002, a patented, non-racemic MDMA formulation recognized by the FDA as a Novel Chemical Entity. The deal would transfer related intellectual property, regulatory materials, inventory, and key agreements, potentially expanding Jupiter’s CNS pipeline into next-generation psychedelic therapeutics.

Under the proposed terms, PharmAla would receive $3.33 million upfront in a mix of cash and Jupiter equity, with additional development and commercialization milestones and a low single-digit royalty on U.S. sales, while Jupiter has deposited $600,000 in escrow that converts to a reverse termination fee if no definitive agreement is signed within 90 days. The transaction, announced on May 20, 2026, is subject to due diligence, regulatory and shareholder approvals, and reflects Jupiter’s bid to capitalize on a projected multi-billion-dollar U.S. psychedelic medicine market reshaped by an April 18, 2026 executive order accelerating access to investigational psychedelic therapies.

The most recent analyst rating on (JUNS) stock is a Buy with a $25.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. stock, see the JUNS Stock Forecast page.
