Characteristics of Salvinorin A Salvinorin A dierentiates to common hallucinogens in two ways. A common target of hallucinogens such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor. However, Salvinorin A has no anity at 5-HT2A. The other dierence is structural. Classic hallucinogens are nitrogen compounds which Salvinorin A is not. IUPAC-Name methyl (2S,4aR,6aR,7R,9S,10aS,10bR)-9-acetyloxy-2- (furan-3-yl)-6a,10b-dimethyl-4,10-dioxo-2,4a,5,6,7,8,9,10a- octahydro-1H-benzo[f] isochromene-7-carboxylate Chemical(Trivial) Names Salvinorin A Diviorin A 2H-Naphtho(2,1-c)pyran-7-carboxylic acid, 9-(acetyloxy)- 2-(3- furanyl)dodecahydro-6a,10b-dimethyl-4,10-dioxo-, methyl ester, (2S-(2alpha,4aalpha,6abeta,7beta,9beta, 10aalpha,10bbeta))- Molecular Formula C23H28O8 Molecular Weight 432.469 g/mol Melting Point 238-240°C Solubility in water 12.1 mg/L at 25°C Hydrogen Bond Donor Count 0 Hydrogen Bond Acceptor Count 8 Isotope Atom Count 0 Dened Atom Stereocentre Count 7 Specic optional rotation -45.3 deg at 22 deg C/D ( c = 8.530 CHCl3) Hazard statements H302 (100%): Harmful if swallowed [Warning Acute toxicity, oral] Precautionary statements P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.

There are about 900 dierent Salvia species including many ornamental garden sages and Salvia ocinalis, the common cooking sage. The plant has a charac- teristic weak 'mousy-but-minty' aroma. It originates from the south of Mexico, in the Sierra mazateca region in the mexican federal state Oaxaca.4 It is used by mazatec shamans and healers for rituals until today. In a low dose it is used for the therapy of physical inrmity and in a higher dose for visionary intoxication. The manners of consumption are very dierent: Mostly it is chewed, smoked or drunk as tea. It is used to get intoxicated around the world since the 1980`s. Nowadays Salvia Divinorum is illegal in many countries of the world. Salvinorin A Salvinorin A is found in the resin secreted by special, hairy epidermal cells (trichomes), which the leaves are especially abundant in. However, the actual Salvinorin A concentration of Salvia Divinorum products is generally unknown. Pure, crystalline Salvinorin A does not appear to be oered on markets (neither online or in smartshops) but illustrated procedures for its isolation are available on the Internet.5 Structure6 Salvinorin is a trans-neoclerodane diterpenoid and it is structurally distinct from other naturally occur- ring hallucinogens (such as DMT, psilocybin, and mescaline) because it contains no nitrogen therefore it is not an alkaloid and cannot be rendered as a salt. Salvinorin A has eight hydrogen-bond acceptor sites, all oxygen atoms, and no hydrogen-bond donor groups. It would thus appear likely that its crystal lattice should comprise only weak non-bonded inter- actions between adjacent molecules and a resultant diminished lattice energy reected in a low melting point. Figure 1: Structure 4 http://www.sagewisdom.org/faq.html, 11.6.2019 5 http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/drug-proles/salvia, 11.6.2019 6 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4208627/, 11.6.2019 3 2 Historical Background7 The rst recorded mention of Salvia Divinorum was made in 1938 by Jean B. Johnson, who heard of Mazatecs making a tea from the leaves of hierba Maria, which induced visions in users. R. Gordon Wasson and Albert Hofmann acquired the rst specimen of Salvia Divinorum from the Mazatecs in 1962. They described it as a less desirable substitute for hallucinogenic mushrooms. Salvinorin A was rst named in 1982 by Alfredo Ortega and colleagues in Mexico. They used a combi- nation of spectroscopy and x-ray crystallography to determine the chemical structure of the compound, which was shown to have a bicyclic diterpene structure. Around the same time Leander Julián Valdés III independently isolated the molecule as part of his PhD research which was published in 1983. Valdés named the compound Divinorin and also isolated an analogue that he named Divinorin B. The naming was subsequently corrected to Salvinorin A and B after the work was published in 1984. Valdés later isolated Salvinorin C as well. 3 Synthesis8 Chemical Synthesis The synthesis of Salvinorin A is asymmetric and contains over 30 steps. It includes a transannular Michael reaction cascade and an intramolceluar Diels-Alder reaction/Tsuji allylation. Biosynthesis There are dierent theories on how Salvinorin A is biosynthesized. The most probable pathway is the 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate pathway, where D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and pyruvate are transformed into D-xylulose 5-phosphate. After reduction it turns to 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4- cyclodiphosphate, which then leads to the two base bodies isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethy- lallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). Three IPPs are added to one DMAPP, which creates geranylgeranyl diphospate (GGPP). SdCPS2 catalyzes the next steps, where ent-clerodienyl diphosphate intermedi- ate is created. After oxygenation, acylation and methylation, the biosynthesis is completed. Figure 2: Biosynthesis of Salvinorin A 7 http://www.cesar.umd.edu/cesar/drugs/salvia.asp, 11.6.2019 8 Salvinorin A - Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvinorin_A, 16.06.2019 4 4 Eects It was not until August 2002 that researchers discovered that Salvia Divinorum acts at the kappa opioid receptor (KOR) site, where much of human perception is regulated. This puts Salvia Divinorum in a class of drugs known as KOR agonists, which are thought to play psychotherapeutic roles in perception altering diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. 4.1 Working Principle9 The kappa-opioid receptor is one of 3 G-protein linked opioid receptors which are often found in the nervous sytem. Opioid receptors consist of seven transmembrane comprehensive alpha helices proteins which are linked to inhibitory G-Proteins (guanosine triphosphate binding protein).10 An example for a natural agonist of KOR is dynorphine, while naloxone and naltrexone are examples for natural antagonists.11 In general a stimulation of KOR leads to analgesia (pain relief), dysphoria (trouble of emotions), miosis (contraction of the pupil) and sedation (reduction of the CNS funktion).12 G-proteins are linked loosly with the cytoplasmatic site of the membrane. If linked to GTP (guanosine triphosphate) they are activated and inactivated if they are linked to GDP (guanosine diphosphate). KOR is linked to an inactive G-protein.13 When KOR gets activated by signal molecules it changes its steric conformation. An inactivated, with GDP loaded G-protein links to KOR. This causes a substitution from GDP to GTP. The G-protein is now activated and dissociates from the receptor. It dissociates along the membrane and links to the eector protein adenylate cyclase. Thereby the eector changes its activity and stops catalyzing the formation of the second messenger cAMP (cyclic AMP) from ATP. This leads to an inhibition of the voltage controlled calcium channels whereby the calcium inux is reduced. Simultaneously potassium channels are opened. Potassium pours out of the cell. This leads to a hyperpolarisation. Thereby the neuronal signal transmission is inhibited.14 4.2 Importance in Experimental Research There is no approved medicinal use for Salvia Divinorum or Salvinorin A. However, there is intensive research to explore the therapeutic potential of structurally related KOR agonists or antagonists.15 Nonhuman research studies have characterized the pharmacological, behavioral, and discriminative ef- fects of S. divinorum and Salvinorin A17. There is interest in using Salvinorin A and related compounds to study kappa-opioid mechanisms in neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), psychiatric dis- orders, pain, and drug dependence18. Most information about the eects of Salvia Divinorum in humans has come from survey studies and qualitative interviews of Salvia Divinorum users. Survey respondents are in general agreement that the eects of Salvia Divinorum are intense and unique compared to other drugs or methods for inducing alterations in consciousness.19 9 https://www.spektrum.de/lexikon/neurowissenschaft/kappa-rezeptor/6390, 25.4.2019 10 http://geb.uni-giessen.de/geb/volltexte/2010/7621/pdf/DierkesBirgit_2010_04_28.pdf S.1-6, 2.5.2019 11 https://www.spektrum.de/lexikon/neurowissenschaft/opiatrezeptoren/9235, 25.4.2019 12 https://www.pharmacytimes.com/contributor/jerey-fudin/2018/01/opioid-agonists-partial-agonists-antagonists- oh-my, 30.4.2019 13 Biologie, Campbell, Reece; Pearson Studium; 8. aktualisierte Auage S. 280-285; 1127-1128 14 https://opus.bibliothek.uni-wuerzburg.de/opus4-wuerzburg/frontdoor/deliver/index/docId/5881/le/ DissertationNFfoLebensl.pdf S.1-8, 2.5.2019 15 http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/drug-proles/salvia, 11.6.2019 17 Vortherms TA, Roth B:.

Drugs (including alcohol) are substances that affect the way the body functions when they are used. If a drug is illegal it means that it is forbidden by law. Different drugs have different effects on people, and different factors can impact on the experience of drug use. These include: ● the drug itself (e.g. the pharmacological properties of the substance being taken); ● the individual taking the drug (e.g. age, sex, physical and mental health of a person); ● the environment (the setting where the drug is being used, which can be legal, cultural or situational). Drinking two or three beers might be relatively low risk for a healthy adult but the risk of harm increases if they drink on an empty stomach, try to drive a car after drinking, or have a pre- existing health problem.

Theresa May MP Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 29 May 2013 Dear Home Secretary, I am writing to formally request that you consider laying a temporary class drug order (TCDO) pursuant to section 2A of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 on the following two groups of novel psychoactive substances (NPS). We consider the laying of TCDOs is appropriate as a pre-emptive measure in advance of the summer music festival season. Both classes of drugs have been associated with serious harm and drug-related deaths. ‘Benzofury’ compounds 5- and 6-APB and related substances are phenethylamine-type materials, related to ecstasy (MDMA). There have been several deaths and hospitalisations in the UK associated with these NPS, although poly-substance use often complicates the case. Research indicates that there is a potential risk of cardiac toxicity associated with the long-term use of 5- and 6-APB. Anecdotal user reports suggest that the consumption of these substances can cause insomnia, increased heart rate and anxiety, with some users reporting MDMA like symptoms. The related compound 5-IT has been subject to an EMCDDA-Europol joint report and an EMCDDA risk assessment exercise. [www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/joint-reports/5- IT] 1 The substances recommended for control are: 5- and 6-APB: (1-(benzofuran-5-yl)-propan-2-amine and 1-(benzofuran-6-yl)-propan- 2-amine) and their N-methyl derivatives.

    Hallucinogens And Dissociative Drug Use And Addiction Introduction Hallucinogens are a diverse group of drugs that cause alterations in perception, thought, or mood. This heterogeneous group has compounds with different chemical structures, different mechanisms of action, and different adverse effects. Despite their description, most hallucinogens do not consistently cause hallucinations. The drugs are more likely to cause changes in mood or in thought than actual hallucinations. Hallucinogenic substances that form naturally have been used worldwide for millennia to induce altered states for religious or spiritual purposes. While these practices still exist, the more common use of hallucinogens today involves the recreational use of synthetic hallucinogens. Hallucinogen And Dissociative Drug Toxicity Hallucinogens comprise a collection of compounds that are used to induce hallucinations or alterations of consciousness. Hallucinogens are drugs that cause alteration of visual, auditory, or tactile perceptions; they are also referred to as a class of drugs that cause alteration of thought and emotion. Hallucinogens disrupt a person’s ability to think and communicate effectively. Hallucinations are defined as false sensations that have no basis in reality: The sensory experience is not actually there. The term “hallucinogen” is slightly misleading because hallucinogens do not consistently cause hallucinations. 1 ce4less.com ce4less.com ce4less.com ce4less.com ce4less.com ce4less.com ce4less.com How hallucinogens cause alterations in a person’s sensory experience is not entirely understood. Hallucinogens work, at least in part, by disrupting communication between neurotransmitter systems throughout the body including those that regulate sleep, hunger, sexual behavior and muscle control. Patients under the influence of hallucinogens may show a wide range of unusual and often sudden, volatile behaviors with the potential to rapidly fluctuate from a relaxed, euphoric state to one of extreme agitation and aggression.
