Obscure Psychoactive Plants / The Virola sebifera Compendium Thread
« on: April 16, 2025, 06:43:41 AM »
Virola sebifera:
      N-methyl-N-formyltryptamine
      N-methyl-N-acetyltryptamine
      2-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline
      N,N-dimethyltryptamine



Quote
Bark of Virola sebifera used in the preparation of hallucinogenic snuffs and drinks in Venezuela has yielded N-methyl-N-formyltryptamine and N-methyl-N-acetyltryptamine, which exist in two rotameric forms reflecting hindered rotation around the carbon—nitrogen bond of the amide function. They were detected by HPLC as well as NMR. 2-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline, N,N-dimethyltryptamine, its oxide and N-monomethyltryptamine were also identified.




Add any other info on this species you get ahold of, to this thread.

Polygala tenuifolia


• Supports Cognitive Function
   Polygala tenuifolia has a very interesting effect on cognitive function by helping to optimize neurotransmitter levels while also increasing neuroplasticity. This combined effects helps promote focus, motivation and memory!

• Promotes Cognitive Health
   Polygala, by optimizing neurotransmitter levels, enhancing neuroplasticity, balancing neuronal oxidation and inflammation can help protect the brain from stressors. This makes it a great choice for overall brain health, especially when considering long term supplementation.

• Promotes Feelings of Well Being
   The enhanced levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin that Polygala can induce, will help brighten mood. In addition to this, by increasing neuroplasticity, Polygala has a unique effect on promoting mood in the long run.

• Increases Neuroplasticity
   Neuroplasticity is the process by which our brains can adapt, grow, and change, which is a critical process for various cognitive functions since they are dependent on sufficient levels of neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the foundation of memory and memories, as our memory and memories are believed to be stored by neuron connections that are physically changing. These changes are dependent on neuroplasticity. Two of the largest regulators for neuroplasticity are brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF). Research has discovered that an increase in either NGF or BDNF may result in a notable increase in neuroplasticity. Many people believe Polygala tenuifolia elevates both NGF and BDNF levels. Increasing BDNF and NGF levels suggests that Polygala tenuifolia may help promote overall brain health as well as cognitive function.

Polygala radix
Quote
Currently, seven β-carboline-based alkaloids have been identified from Polygala Radix. According to studies, β-alkaloids have a large potential for research and use and have properties such as anti-thrombotic, memory improvement, and anti-tumor."

Obscure Psychoactive Plants / The Mammillaria Compendium Thread
« on: April 15, 2025, 05:04:41 AM »
There are many Mammillaria cacti with psychoactive phenethylamines
(such as 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine, 3,4-Dimethoxy-N-methylphenethylamine)
Said to be similar to MDMA
The ones showing the most potential from reports are:


Mammillaria hahniana



Mammillaria craigii



Mammillaria heyderi
