Salvinorin A was administered to rats to study effects on lactic acid-stimulated stretching.1
Biochem/physiol Actions
Salvanorin A is a non-nitrogenous κ opioid receptor agonist.
Salvinorin A is a potent, non-nitrogenous κ opioid selective receptor agonist. Salvinorin A is isolated from Salvia divinorum. Salvinorin A displays high affinity at both native (Ki=4.3 nm) and cloned (Ki=16 nm) κ -opioid receptors. Preliminary studies suggest that Salvanorin A is chemically unique among the psychtropic drugs and does not bind to any known receptor.

A plant with dissociative and psychoactive properties began to attract the attention of the media and United States policymakers following a well-publicized suicide in 2006 and reports that the plant served as a 'legal high' and substitute for cannabis. As
Salvinorin A (SA) is the main active ingredient of Salvia divinorum, a naturally occurring hallucinogen plant from Mexico. Traditionally, herbal preparations obtained from Salvia were used by the Mazatec Indians for their divination rites and the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

Cerebral hypoxia/ischemia during infant congenital heart surgery is not uncommon and may induce devastating neurologic disabilities persistent over the lifespan. Hypoxia/ischemia-induced cerebrovascular dysfunction is thought to be an important contributor to neurological damage. No pharmacological agents have been found to

The neoclerodane diterpene salvinorin A is the major active component of the hallucinogenic mint plant Salvia divinorum Epling and Játiva (Lamiaceae). Since the finding that salvinorin A exerts its potent psychotropic actions through the activation of opioid receptors, the site
Salvinorin A (SA), the main active component of Salvia Divinorum, is a non-nitrogenous kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonist. It has been shown to reduce acute pain and to exert potent antinflammatory effects. This study assesses the effects and the mode
