Chemical Properties
- Insoluble in organic solvents (ie chloroform and petroleum)
- The doesn't react until inside the body, this reaction is called a dephosphorylation reaction. This chemical reaction takes place under strongly acidic conditions, or under physiological conditions in the body, through the action of enzymes called phosphatases.
- Soluble in water and methanol
- Psilocybin has no natural functions, it has to react with the human body to have any affect.
- Is not a highly reactive molecule.
