Different biosynthetic pathways for the active ingredient, the tryptamine psilocybin, have evolved independently at least twice in the fungal lineage. Its physiological function in the mushroom is not yet fully understood. One theory is that oligomers with a tannin-like structure, formed when the fungal tissue is damaged, serve as a defense against herbivores. Due to its psychedelic effects, its use as a recreational drug carries the risk of psychotic states and panic attacks if the dosage is uncontrolled. The risk of addiction is considered relatively low. As a serotonin agonist, psilocin increases neuronal plasticity. Therefore, the potential of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy is currently investigated in clinical trials.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":9911,"journal":{"name":"Chemie in Unserer Zeit","volume":"60 3","pages":"132-139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148193919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
