L-Ibotenic acid is a chemical compound and psychoactive drug which occurs naturally in Amanita muscaria and related species of mushrooms typically found in the temperate and boreal regions of the northern hemisphere. It is a conformationally-restricted an
Blennin C, also known as Lactaronecatorin A, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as terpene lactones. These are prenol lipids containing a lactone ring. Within the cell, lactaronecatorin is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from log
Bufotoxin, a toxic steroid lactone, exists in the parotoid glands, skin, and poison of many toads and other amphibians, and in some plants and mushrooms.
γ-Amanitin an ADC cytotoxin and isolated from the mushroom. γ-Amanitin inhibits RNA polymerase II and disrupts synthesis of mRNA. γ-Amanitin shows similar effects to α-Amanitin and β-Amanitin.
D-Ibotenic Acid is a chemical compound and psychoactive drug which occurs naturally in Amanita muscaria and related species of mushrooms typically found in the temperate and boreal regions of the northern hemisphere. It is a conformationally-restricted analogue of the neurotransmitter glutamate, and due to its structural similarity to this neurotransmitter, acts as a non-selective glutamate receptor agonist. Because of this, ibotenic acid can be a powerful neurotoxin, and is employed as a brain-lesioning agent through cranial injections in scientific research.
