Psychedelic indolethylamines with therapeutic potential are naturally produced in plants, fungi, and animals.
Here, we elucidated the complete N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) biosynthetic pathway in hallucinogenic plant
species traditionally used in shamanic rituals for spiritual healing. Leveraging the similarities in their chemical
structures, we reconstructed in one plant assay the full biosynthetic pathways of five renowned natural psyche-
delics; psilocin and psilocybin found in mushrooms, DMT from plants, and bufotenin and 5-methoxy-DMT secret-
ed by the Sonoran Desert toad. We further engineered halogenated analogs of these molecules, which do not
naturally occur in plants and exhibit prospective therapeutic potential for psychiatric conditions. Blending cata-
lytic functions across the tree of life, coupled with metabolic engineering guided by rational protein design of
mutant enzymes, enabled substantially more efficient in planta production of the indolethylamine components.
This work establishes a versatile platform for concurrent biosynthesis and diversification of psychoactive indole-
thylamines, paving the way for their production in plants.
INTRODUCTION
For thousands of years, psychedelic substances have been used by
indigenous cultures as entheogens in rituals intended to induce al-
tered states of consciousness for spiritual and therapeutic purposes.
Psilocybin-containing mushrooms were central to ancient Aztec
ceremonies (1), while N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), the pri-
mary psychoactive component of ayahuasca, has long been used
in traditional Amazonian rituals. This ceremonial brew combines
Psychotria viridis (a natural source of DMT) with Banisteriopsis caapi,
which provides β-carboline monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibi-
tors that render DMT orally active (1, 2). Similarly, 5-methoxy-N,N-
dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), found in the secretion of
the Sonoran Desert toad (Incilius alvarius) and in several plant spe-
cies, is thought to have been used ceremonially by indigenous
groups in northern Mexico (3). 5-MeO-DMT has been described
as the most potent DMT analog, being about 4- to 10-fold more po-
tent than DMT in humans and is known to induce psychedelic ex-
periences that are distinct from those of DMT (4). Knowledge of
the traditional use of these molecules has fueled contemporary
therapeutic interest in psychedelics as treatments for neuropsychiat-
ric conditions.
Recent studies have shown that classical indolethylamine psy-
chedelics promote neuroplasticity and modulate serotonergic cir-
cuits, primarily through 5-HT 2A receptor activation (5–7). These
compounds have demonstrated therapeutic potential for depression,
anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, and addiction (5–8), with psi-
locybin receiving Food and Drug Administration Breakthrough
Therapy designation for major depressive disorder in 2019 (6, 7).
Although widely considered hallucinogenic, psilocybin itself func-
tions as a prodrug, undergoing enzymatic dephosphorylation in the
digestive tract and liver to produce psilocin, the active compound
responsible for its psychoactive effects. DMT is produced by a broad
range of plant species and, in low abundance, by certain animals (2).
When administered via smoking or intravenous injection, it pro-
duces rapid and intense psychoactive effects that typically peak with-
in 5 min and subside within 30 min, due to rapid metabolism by
MAO enzymes in the liver. Coadministration with MAO inhibitors
can extend the half-life of DMT in vivo (2). The traditional use of
ayahuasca exemplifies how combining compounds from different
sources can enable oral activity; however, such combinations require
carefully balanced dosing to mitigate adverse effects associated with
MAO inhibition (9).
The expanding clinical interest in psychedelics as therapeutics
has sparked the need for scalable and versatile production platforms
and structural diversification (10, 11). Traditionally, the supply of
psychedelics relies on natural producers, mainly plants, fungi, and
the Sonoran Desert toad. Harvesting these organisms for their psy-
choactive compounds raises ecological and ethical concerns, being
increasingly threatened by habitat loss and overexploitation (12).
While synthetic routes for these compounds are available and, in
some cases, relatively straightforward, they still require compound-
specific reactants, can lead to unwanted intermediates and prod-
ucts, and require several processing steps (2, 13, 14). Biocatalys

3·1 month agoYeah it’s a pain to install however. One of our dogs had a chomp on the wife’s set, took me quite sometime to disasemble the headphones just to install it.
Honestly if you can get something to wrap over / stitch over the top go that route. The XM4 are fiddily as fuck to tear down just to replace the headband.
Oh those are a clip on version. FML might have to get that to replace the black band on the grey set of headphones.

Saying so I had one of the original mod mics and it was great while it lasted, but I found the cable was damaged pretty easily which ended up with it in the bin.
They do have a wireless version with its own dongle, decent bit of kit despite the micro USB charging lol.

We’re around $1000.00 AUD for two adults and two 20kg dogs.
Really want to reduce as much as possible however the current pricing in the supermarket is rubbish.

1·3 months agoNot your traditional TVs but look and see if you can get some TVs aimed at venues / advertising. I can see an LG IPS display, 98 inch for sub 10k AUD including shipping (98UM5J-B).
Phillips, LG, Samsung and others offer commercial panels without the rubbish that consumer panels are infected with these days.
This is actually pretty minimal in Australia (as someone who has worked in Hospitality for 20+ years)
Very few venues actually require this to enter, the majority check at the door or once you ae inside the venue.
Edit: Some owners of multiple venues have rolled these systems out in the past that I’ve seen, generally ones that have seen a rise in patron issues. Its handy that if someone has caused issues in one place they won’t get allowed into another; but it’s not worth the privacy risk in my eyes.

I do remember running the original version(s) of MIUI on my nexus one, ahh simpler times.
Or Grayjay, I found NewPipe / other frontends had their fair share of issues while I was using them. Their desktop app however I’ve not used as it was failing to build on my NixOS machines.

I’m still driving a mk6 golf and really can’t imagine not having easy access to those features.
