  • Hallucinogens - LSD, Peyote, Psilocybin, and PCP
    Information for Behavioral Health Providers in Primary Care Hallucinogens - LSD, Peyote, Psilocybin, and PCP What are Hallucinogens? Hallucinogenic compounds found in some plants and mushrooms (or their extracts) have been used— mostly during religious rituals—for centuries. Almost all hallucinogens contain nitrogen and are classified as alkaloids. Many hallucinogens have chemical structures similar to those of natural neurotransmitters (e.g., acetylcholine-, serotonin-, or catecholamine-like). While the exact mechanisms by which hallucinogens exert their effects remain unclear, research suggests that these drugs work, at least partially, by temporarily interfering with neurotransmitter action or by binding to their receptor sites. This InfoFacts will discuss four common types of hallucinogens: LSD (d-lysergic acid diethylamide) is one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals. It was discovered in 1938 and is manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains. Peyote is a small, spineless cactus in which the principal active ingredient is mescaline. This plant has been used by natives in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States as a part of religious ceremonies. Mescaline can also be produced through chemical synthesis. Psilocybin (4-phosphoryloxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine) is obtained from certain types of mushrooms that are indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Mexico, and the United States. These mushrooms typically contain less than 0.5 percent psilocybin plus trace amounts of psilocin, another hallucinogenic substance. PCP (phencyclidine) was developed in the 1950s as an intravenous anesthetic. Its use has since been discontinued due to serious adverse effects. How Are Hallucinogens Abused? The very same characteristics that led to the incorporation of hallucinogens into ritualistic or spiritual traditions have also led to their propagation as drugs of abuse.

Akceptováno 5. září 2019. Zveřejněno 6. prosince 2019. Souhrn N-Methyl-D-aspartátový (NMDA) receptor patří do skupiny glutamátových receptorů, které se dále dělí na ionotropní a metabotropní. V CNS má vliv na synaptickou plasticitu a rozvoj neuronálních synapsí. Ionotropní NMDA receptory jsou aktivovány glutamátem, díky čemuž proudí pozitivně nabité ionty skrz membránu po svém koncentračním gradientu. Nicméně nadměrné hladiny glutamátu působí excitotoxicky díky vysokým intracelulárním hladinám Ca2+ a mohou vést k buněčné smrti neuronů pozorované např. u neurodegenerativních onemocnění. Antagonisté NMDA receptorů, mezi které patří například dizocilpin, ovlivňují prostupnost NMDA receptoru a zamezují tak vstupu iontů Ca2+ do buňky. Dizocilpin působí jako nekompetitivní antagonista NMDA receptoru, má antikonvulzivní a anestetické účinky. Jeho terapeutické použití u lidí není vhodné z důvodu výskytu četných vedlejších účinků, experimentálně je však využíván jako farmakologicky indukovaný animální model schizofrenie.
