Optimization of Psilocybin Extraction from Psilocybe cubensis Mushrooms and Characterization of the Fungal Extract

Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society 2026 Mateus Araújo Da Luz, Taynah Pereira Galdino, Lucas Matheus da S. Oliveira et al.

Psilocybin is a molecule with significant potential for the treatment of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse. In this study, it was explored the extraction of psilocybin from Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms using a factorial design approach, along with the physicochemical and phytochemical characterization of the extracted material,...

Extraction and Characterization of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine from Mimosa tenuiflora: A Multivariate Approach

ACS Omega September 16, 2025 Lucas Cordeiro de Oliveira, Taynah Pereira Galdino, Marcelo Da Silva Pedro et al. 1 citation

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a plant-derived tryptamine alkaloid, has attracted growing interest due to its therapeutic potential in treating mental health disorders resistant to conventional pharmacological interventions. This study aimed to establish an efficient methodology for the extraction, isolation, and characterization of DMT, and to identify the most viable portion of the Mimosa...

Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Psilocybe Mushrooms: Gaps and Perspectives

Pharmaceuticals July 1, 2025 Mateus Araújo Da Luz, H. Guedes, Antônio B. M. Bisneto et al. 5 citations

The Psilocybe genus is known for producing tryptamine alkaloids, specifically the compounds psilocybin and psilocin, which have shown antidepressant and anxiolytic potential. The presence of these alkaloids makes Psilocybe mushrooms promising sources of molecules with potential applications in the treatment of mental disorders. To explore this, a bibliographic study was conducted with the aim...
