Salvinorin A: A potent naturally occurring nonnitrogenous κ opioid selective agonist

TL;DR: Salvinorin A is the first naturally occurring nonnitrogenous opioid-receptor subtype-selective agonist for κ opioid receptors and may represent novel psychotherapeutic compounds for diseases manifested by perceptual distortions (e.g., schizophrenia, dementia, and bipolar disorders).
Journal ArticleDOI

Constituents from Salvia species and their biological activities.

TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a history of forensic medicine in China and its applications in the field of regenerative medicine, as well as some examples of how modern forensic medicine has changed over time.

Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A: new pharmacologic findings

TL;DR: The diterpene salvinorin A from Salvia divinorum (Epling and Jativa-M), in doses of 200-500 micrograms produces effects which are subjectively identical to those experienced when the whole herb is ingested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salvinorin A, an active component of the hallucinogenic sage salvia divinorum is a highly efficacious kappa-opioid receptor agonist: structural and functional considerations.

TL;DR: Salvinorin A was found to be a full agonist, being significantly more efficacious than (trans)-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexyl] benzeneacetamide methane-sulfonate hydrate (U69593) and similar in efficacy to dynorphin A (the naturally occurring peptide ligand for κ-opioid receptors).
Journal ArticleDOI

Pattern of use and subjective effects of Salvia divinorum among recreational users.

TL;DR: The observed simultaneous high scores on the LSD and PCAG subscales of the Addiction Research Center Inventory (ARCI) have been previously reported for other kappa-opioid agonists, and support kappa receptor activation as the probable pharmacologic mechanism underlying the modified state of awareness induced by salvia.
