Determination of psilocin and 4-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid in plasma by HPLC-ECD and pharmacokinetic profiles of oral and intravenous psilocybin in man
Pharm Acta Helv. 1997 23-Feb;():. 10.1016/s0031-6865(97)00014-9Twelve healthy subjects underwent controlled studies to examine the pharmacokinetic properties of psilocybin (PY). The subjects were divided equally into 2 groups where they either received oral doses or intravenous doses of PY. Quantification of the PY metabolites psilocin (PI) and 4-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (4HIAA) was measured through using high performance liquid chromatography with column-switching coupled with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). Peak levels of PI and 4HIAA were found 105 and 113 minutes, respectively after oral PY administration. Peak PI levels were found 1.9 minutes after intravenous PY administration, while 4HIAA was not detected.
