O-Benzyl psilocin

Controlled Product

CAS: 28383-23-5

O-Benzyl psilocin is a form of the hallucinogenic drug psilocybin. Psilocybin and other related substances are classified as indole alkaloids, which are synthesised by the enzyme tryptophan decarboxylase. O-Benzyl psilocin is synthesised in a two-step reaction that involves catalytic hydrogenation of 4-hydroxyindole to 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde followed by formylation of the latter with formic acid or paraformaldehyde. It was first isolated from sheep's blood serum in 1958 and has been used as an immunogen to produce antisera against cocaine and serotonin. This substance also utilizes a number of endogenous substances for its metabolism, including dopamine, serotonin, noradrenaline, and adrenaline.
