Dephosphorylation of Psilocybin in the Intact Mouse

Quote:
Sodium beta-glycerophosphate Was selected as a competitive substrate in
order to reduce the amount of psilocybin dephosphorylation. A competitive
inhibitor which would be' effective in vivo would have been a
more desirable choice in this casei but thus far we have not found such
a compound. In order to produce the desired degree of enzyme competition,
a relatively large amount of the glycerophosphate was required. This
dose, however, did not produce any observable behavioral effects, nor did
it interfere with the actions of injected psilocin. Because of its low toxicity
as well as that of its dephosphorylated product, glycerol, it has served as
a satisfactory agent to inhibit the dephosphorylation of psilocybin
