Regulatory and Scientific Development
The first attempt at drug development of ibogaine was by the Dora Weiner Foundation in 1983.
In 1986, a for-profit corporation, NDA International, Inc. was established and subsequently raised 4 million towards the approval of ibogaine, initiating research and patent development.
1991, National Institute on Drug Abuse ibogaine research project.
1993, FDA approval for University of Miami clinical study.

First scientific publication of ibogaine antiaddictive effects
![Page 16: Ibogaine: A Story of my life and years](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814a12550346895db739b6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) funds 85% of drug addiction research worldwide
![Page 17: Ibogaine: A Story of my life and years](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56814a12550346895db739b6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
NIDA Initially Rejects Ibogaine Research.
NIDA was petitioned to perform ibogaine research between 1984 - 1990, first by the Dora Weiner Foundation and from 1986 on by NDA International, Inc., a company established to make ibogaine available as an approved medication. In 1991, NIDA formed its Medications Development Division (MDD) and accepted a Product Profile Review (PPR) from NDA International that resulted in NIDA starting their ibogaine research program.

Additional research supports Dr. Dzoljic’s findings. Dr. Stanley D. Glick at Albany Medical College begins the publication of what will be dozens of research
papers

Nico Adriaans was one of the founders of both the Rotterdam Junkies Union and Dutch Addict Self-Help (DASH). DASH was an ibogaine self-help organization that petitioned the Dutch government and organized drug users to demand ibogaine availability. DASH provided ibogaine at no cost to heroin users.

NIDA has focused on already existing drugs which are then developed for addiction as a new indication, and not the development of fundamentally new pharmacological strategies such as ibogaine.
