General description

Bufotenine is a hallucinogenic alkaloid found in mushrooms, plants, mammals and in toads belonging to the Bufo genus. This drug is structurally similar to psilocin, a psychedelic compound found in mushrooms. This Snap-N-Spike® Reference Solution is suitable for use in urine drug testing, clinical toxicology, or forensic analysis by LC-MS/MS or GC/MS.

The death of a 23-year-old man resulting from digoxin-like toxicity and heart failure was attributed to ingestion of a West Indian aphrodisiac known as "Love Stone." GC/MS analyses identified bufotenine, a controlled substance under both US and New York State

This paper investigates the supposedly psychedelic Bufo toad and the allegedly psychedelic drug bufotenine, which is contained in the skin and glands of this toad. The bufo toad has held a place in human mythologies and medicines worldwide since archaic

Bufotenin (5-hydroxy-N,N-dimetyltryptamine) is a tryptamine alkaloid widely spread among anuran families as a component of their chemical defense system, acting as a potent hallucinogenic factor, showing similar activity to LSD upon interaction with the 5HT2 human receptor. This work demonstrates

Based on experiment and computational simulation, we present a structural explanation for the differing efficacies of indole agonists at the human serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (5HT2AR). We find that serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] forms hydrogen-bonds with Ser3.36 in helix 3 and Ser5.46

Several models of agonist binding to G protein-coupled 5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT] (serotonin) receptors have highlighted the potential importance of highly conserved aromatic residues for ligand binding and agonist efficacy. In this study, we tested these models by constructing and characterizing a
