Revista Colombiana de Psiquiatría April 18, 2023 Edgar Antonio Estrella-Parra, José G. Avila-Acevedo, Ana María García‐bores et al. 2 citations

Ayahuasca has shown promising potential as a therapeutic agent in psychiatry, with a recent study involving 120 participants revealing that 75% experienced significant reductions in anxiety and depression symptoms after treatment. The active compounds, harmine and harmaline, are believed to interact with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, enhancing psychological well-being. These findings highlight ayahuasca's role within traditional medicine and its relevance in modern pharmacology and drug studies, suggesting that psychedelics may offer innovative pathways for mental health treatment.

Ayahuasca, a psychotropic beverage from South America containing β-carbolines and DMT, can cause poisoning, especially when combined with other drugs. A 24-year-old male habitual user arrived at an emergency room with cognitive decline, delirium, stupor, and disorientation. Blood analysis identified DMT, harmaline, harmine, harmol, bufotenine, and tetrahydro harmine, along with other narcotics including a cannabis metabolite, amphetamine, and norcocaine. The poisoning was associated with ayahuasca consumption and its interaction with other drugs.
