Young people from Mexican cities were reported to smoke dried leaves of S. divinorum as a marijuana substitute. Recently, two S. divinorum specimens were seized in a large-scale illicit in-door and out-door hemp plantation. Salvinorin A also called divinorin A, a trans-neoclerodane diterpene, was identified in several org. solvent exts. by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry. The botanical identity of the plant was confirmed by comparing it to an authentic herbarium specimen. More plants were then discovered in Swiss horticulturists greenhouses. All these data taken together suggest that many attempts exist in Switzerland to use S. divinorum as a recreational drug. This phenomenon may be enhanced because neither the magic mint, nor its active compd. are banned substances listed in the Swiss narcotic law.

Exts. from several plant collections were examd. on a C-18 column with UV detection and isocratic elution with MeCN-H2O (45:55). This assay allowed quantification of salvinorin A in exts. of leaves and stems of S. divinorum and was also applied to the screening of related species for the prodn. of salvinorin A. Levels of salvinorin A in leaves range from 0.89 to 3.70 mg/g dry wt.
