Norbaeocystin

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Norbaeocystin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound of the tryptamine class. It is found in various species of psilocybin mushrooms alongside psilocybin, psilocin, and baeocystin. Norbaeocystin is a derivative of baeocystin, differing only by the absence of a methyl group.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

Norbaeocystin is a phosphorylated tryptamine, structurally similar to other compounds found in psilocybin mushrooms. It is a demethylated version of baeocystin, which itself is a demethylated version of psilocybin. The chemical formula of norbaeocystin is C10H12N2O4P.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The pharmacology of norbaeocystin is not well understood. It is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic tryptamines. However, the exact mechanism of action and its effects on the human body are not fully known.

Occurrence[edit | edit source]

Norbaeocystin is found in various species of psilocybin mushrooms, including Psilocybe cubensis, Psilocybe semilanceata, and Psilocybe cyanescens. The concentration of norbaeocystin in these mushrooms can vary significantly, and it is usually present in smaller amounts compared to psilocybin and psilocin.

Research and Potential Uses[edit | edit source]

Research into norbaeocystin is limited, and its potential therapeutic uses are not yet known. However, the study of other psychedelic tryptamines has suggested potential applications in the treatment of mental health disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
