Aspectos preliminares al estudio fármaco-psiquiátrico del Ayahuasca y su principio activo

Anales de la Facultad de Medicina April 9, 2014 Oscar Ríos 6 citations

This work presents the first study in Peru covering the folkloric, botanical, and pharmacognostic aspects of ayahuasca, along with an experimental assessment of the pharmacodynamic and toxicological action of its active principle, after identifying its chemical identity and that of one of its plant sources obtained in the Alto Ucayali region. The study serves as the preliminary part of research oriented toward contemporary experimental psychiatry.
