Acyloxymethyl (ACOM) derivatives of tryptamines such as the psychedelic drug psilocin and the anti-migraine drug sumatriptan bear potential as prodrugs. Previous synthetic approaches suffer from insufficient chemoselectivity between the desired functionalization of the phenolic (psilocin) or sulfonamide (sumatriptan) groups versus other reactive groups in the parent drugs. We report a novel...
Abstract Xylazine, traditionally used as a veterinary sedative, has recently emerged as a new psychoactive substance, being typically ingested in combination with fentanyl derivatives and hence raising significant public health concerns. Despite its increasing prevalence, little is known about its molecular interactions with human neuroreceptors, specifically the serotonin 7 (5‐HT 7 R) and...
Abstract Baeocystin ( 7 ) (4‐phosphoryloxy‐N‐methyltryptamine) has been synthesized starting from 2‐methyl‐3‐nitrophenol ( 1 ). The spectral data (UV, IR, 1 H‐, 31 P‐, 13 C‐NMR, MS) are identical with those of 7 isolated from Psilocybe semilanceata .
Abstract Von Psilocin konnten drei polymorphe Modifikationen dargestellt werden, die sich durch ihr Verhalten beim Kristallisieren und Schmelzen sowie durch ihre IR‐Spektren unterscheiden. Mod. I schmilzt bei 170–173°, Mod. II bei 161°, Mod, III wird immer umgewandelt; ihr Schmp. konnte nicht bestimmt werden. Diese Form läßt sich dagegen durch ihr IR‐Spektrum sehr gut charakterisieren....
