Abstract
Por primera vez en el Perú se realiza un estudio del "ayahuasca" que comprende los aspectos folklóricos, botánicos y farmacognósticos que le son correlativos, así como un ensayo experimental de la acción farmacodinámica y toxicológica de su principio activo, previo reconocimiento de su identidad química y el de una de sus fuentes vegetales obtenida en la región del Alto Ucayali. Tal estudio constituye la parte preliminar de una investigación orientada en el campo de la psiquiatría experimental de hoy.
