Abstract

Salvinorin A je glavna aktivna kemijska komponenta božanske kadulje (Salvia divinorum), biljke iz roda kadulji koje se koriste po cijelom svijetu za liječenje raznih bolesti. Salvinorin A je najjača dosad otkrivena prirodna psihodelična tvar, posebna i enigmatična u mnogo pogleda. U ovom radu izložen je kratki pregled povijesti i biologije božanske kadulje, kao i biokemije salvinorina A, te njegovog fiziološkog utjecaja na organizam. Salvinorin A se pokazao kao jedna od možda najvažnijih kemijskih tvari budućnosti radi svog iznimno jakog utjecaja na ljudsko tijelo i zbog svojih farmakoloških svojstava, za koje ne sumnjam da će naći svoje mjesto u primjeni protiv raznih bolesti današnjice, bile one na psihološkoj bazi ili ne.

Abstract (english)

Salvinorin A is the main active chemical component of the Diviner's sage (Salvia divinorum), plant of the sage genus used worldwide to treat a variety of diseases. Salvinorin A is the strongest so far discovered natural psychedelic substance, unique and enigmatic in many aspects. This paper presents a brief overview of the history and biology of the Diviner's sage, biochemistry of salvinorin A and its physiological effects on the body. Salvinorin A is shown as one of perhaps the most important chemical substances of the future, because of its extremely strong influence on the human body and because of its pharmacological properties, which, I don't doubt, will find their place in the application against various diseases of our time, whether on psychological basis or not.
