| Key points | Prämuscimol and muscazon were isolated from fresh Amanita muscaria fruiting bodies. Prämuscimol (C5H8O5N2, mp 145°C dec.) converts readily to muscimol by losing water and CO2, and both prämuscimol and muscimol strongly potentiate narcosis. Both compounds give a yellow reaction with ninhydrin. |
Abstract
Abstract: Aus frischen Fruchtkörpern von Amanita muscaria (L. ex FR.) HOOKER, wurden Prämuscimol, C5H8O5N2, Smp. 145° (Zers.) und Muscazon, C5H6O4N2, isoliert. Beide Substanzen reagieren mit Ninhydrin gelb. Prämuscimol geht leicht unter Wasser‐ und CO2‐Abspaltung in Muscimol über. Prämuscimol wirkt wie Muscimol stark narkosepotenzierend.
