Studies Towards the Synthesis of Salvinorin A [PDF]

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Chemistry, 2006
Salvinorin A 1, a psychoactive neoclerodane diterpenoid from the Mexican sage S. divinorum, has gained interest as a selective ?-opioid receptor agonist. Non-racemic 3-furylamines 9a and 9b have been prepared from (+)-pseudoephedrine and (–)-ephedrine for application in the stereoselective synthesis of the ketone ring of 1.

Autoxidation of Salvinorin A under Basic Conditions

open access: yes, 2016
Treatment of salvinorin A (1a) with KOH in MeOH gave the enedione 3, for which the dienone structure 7 was recently proposed. Also isolated, after methylation, were the secotriesters 4a−c. A mechanism for this unusual series of autoxidations is proposed.

Agonist-Promoted Phosphorylation and Internalization of the Kappa Opioid Receptor in Mouse Brains: Lack of Connection With Conditioned Place Aversion

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Selective kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonists are promising antipruritic agents and analgesics. However, clinical development of KOR agonists has been limited by side effects, including psychotomimetic effects, dysphoria, and sedation, except for ...

Integrative Phytochemical, Antioxidant, and NLRP3‐Linked and Anti‐Inflammatory Evaluation of Salvia balansae (Aurès Chemotype): Insights Into Its Safety and Therapeutic Potential

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
An endemic Aurès chemotype of Salvia balansae emerges as a rich source of luteolin, rosmarinic acid, and other polyphenols with potent antioxidant and NLRP3‐linked anti‐inflammatory activities. Protection against experimental inflammation, favorable enzyme‐modulating properties, and a wide safety margin highlight its promise as a pharmaceutical and ...

Peripheral κ opioid receptor in pain and inflammation: From molecular signalling and gene expression to drug discovery

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 17, Page 5157-5189, September 2026.
The κ opioid receptor (κ receptor, KOR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with well established roles in analgesia and immune modulation. Although historically studied primarily in the central nervous system (CNS), growing evidence indicates that κ signalling in peripheral tissues plays an important role in regulating pain, inflammation and immune ...

Learning and Memory Impairment Induced by Salvinorin A, the Principal Ingredient of Salvia divinorum, in Wistar rats

open access: yes, 2011
The effects of Salvinorin A, (Salvia divinorum principal ingredient), a potent k-opioid natural hallucinogen, on learning and memory were investigated. Wistar rats were tested in the 8-arm radial maze, for object recognition and passive avoidance tasks ...
