Extraction for ibotenic acid and muscimol from Amanita Muscaria?

The title explains it all.
Is there an extraction method out there for isolating these two substances from the amanita muscaria mushroom?
If so, would consume of just these two substances decrease nausea?
I did a search and nothing came up so if anyone knows, please post!
Thanks!

Well, not to burst your bubble,
But Jonathan Ott use to do this for a living back in the 1980s when he lived on Vashon Island before moving to an underground home in Xalapa, Veracruz..
Acfcording to Ott, First off, it takes from 100 to 125 pounds of fresh Amanita muscaria and/or of A, pantherina or similar species to produce just one gram of ibotenic acid.
Ott was able to extract enough ibotenic acid from over three pounds of Amanitas and it took one year to produce three grams of the chemical, ibotenic acid. He sold them to a pharmaceutical firm for approximatley 5,000 dollars per gram each.
Jonathan basically said it was to much work and time for just 3 grams of chemical to make it worth the while.
So Unless you are a biochemist with lots of expensive laboratory equiptment, I really do not see you extracting any of these chemicals from Amanitas (from personal communications with Ott, 1990)

If you only need a crude extraction, not an isolation, both substances are readily soluble in cold water.

I dont really need to isolate the chemicals, I just want to remove some of the plant material. I want to experiment with smoking an extract of some sort.
Any advice?

Dude, if you smoked or consumed pure ibotenic acid or muscimol, I don't know where that would take you, or if you would come back!!!LOL If I'm not mistaken Jonathon Ott also described drying and smoking the pelicle, (or the skin from the cap), of the muscaria or pantherina mushroom for good effects. Supposedly drying a fresh muscaria/pantherina, allows most of the less desirable ibotenic acid to turn to muscimol. So if you're "acquiring" any A. muscarias or pantherinas, they're already dry and with a higher percentage of muscimol to ibotenic acid than if they were fresh. Ott also says that muscarine varies in potency from one batch to another without any kind of way of predicting.... My last A.muscaria experience was not good due to the fact that the specimens I ordered happened to have a high amount of muscarine, which produced side effects of heavy sweating and profuse salivation. Not the vendors fault, or mine...just happened to be an A. muscaria with higher levels of muscarine, which is only lethal in very high doses. I'm rambling. sorry.

lazy little buggers ! never heard of a library? well I’ve done it for you. below are two papers on the extraction of ibotenic acid and muscimol, one german ( original form and run through bable ) the other english. what they are basically saying is dry youre mushys ( get more psycho active) add to boiling water and allow to cool. add an ion exchange resin ( easily available for water purification. tell the sales man that you have a natural spring and are particularly worried about the nitrate run off from that big cornfield next to your property ( if you live in a city go for a drive ) ) pour of the gunk ( maybe save for another go) then pour some ( could try a wash with distilled water first but save and evaporate it if you do ) dilute distilled white vinegar through the resin, collect the acid/water/product and set a fan over it to evaporate. if you wanted to mess about with boiling up ants or stinging nettles you could try the formic acid route.
quick acid base extraction seems to work but as muscimol/ibotenic acid is zwiterion you get messy gel stage and have to add a lot of base, so probably very low yeild and waste of time
doseage: ibotenic acid 1 mg / kg muscimol 15mg per person
if you dry the mushys first then you should end up with muscimol so use that one
WIRKSTOFFE AUS AMANITA MUSCARIA : IBOTENSAEURE UND MUSCAZON
Die allgemein bekannten Wirkstoffe des Fliegenpilzes, wie Muscarin, Acetycholin und Muscaridin bieten keine Erklärung für das Gesamtbild der Fliegenpilzvergiftung (1). Wir haben deshalb schon vor längerer Zeit nach weiteren, physiologisch aktiven inhaltsstoffen zu suchen begonnen. Eine breite pharmakologische Prüfung der wasserlöslichen Anteile ergab das Vorliegen von Fraktionen mit starker narkosepotenzierender Wirkung. Zur präparativen Isolierung diente ein entfetteter Alkoholextrakt aus Amanita muscaria, der besonders schonend aufgearbeitet worden war. Durch sorgfältige Trennung an Dowex 50 W x 12 (H) mit wasser und verdünnter Ameisensäure erhielten wir kristallisierte Ibotensäure (2) Smp. 145 (Zers.) , C5H8N2O5 und Muscazon, Smp. > 190 (Zers.) , C5H6N2O4 . Beide Verbindungen reagieren mit Ninhydrin auf Papier gelb und geben mit Grote’s reagens blaue Flecken.
Die Ausbeute an Ibotensäure betrug in der Ernte 196? 215g aus ca. 700 kg Frischpilzen, d.h. 0,03 %. Der wirkliche Gehalt darf auf 0,05 % geschätzt werden, sodass Ibotensäure wegen ihrer hohen pharmakodynamischen wirksamkeit als wesentlicher inhaltsstoff von Amanita muscaria angesehen werden darf.
Nach weniger schonender Aufarbeitung isolierten wir 196? einen Wirkstoff , C4H6N2O2, Smp. 174-175 , aus wasser - methanol, welcher sich als Abbauprodukt von Ibotensäure erwies.
ACTIVE SUBSTANCES FROM AMANITA MUSCARIA: IBOTENSAEURE AND MUSCAZON Those generally did not admit active substances the fly mushroom, like Muscarin, Acetycholin and Muscaridin offer an explanation for the overall view of the fly mushroom poisoning (1). We therefore already began to look before longer time for further, physiologically active contents materials. A broad pharmakologische examination of the water-soluble portions resulted in being present parliamentary groups with strong narkosepotenzierender effect. For the praeparativen isolation a degreased alcohol excerpt from Amanita served muscaria, which had been particularly carefully regenerated. By careful separation at Dowex 50 W x 12 (H) with water and diluted formic acid we received crystallized Ibotensaeure (2) Smp. 145 (Zers.) , C5H8N2O5 and Muscazon, Smp. 190 (Zers.) , C5H6N2O4. Both connections react with Ninhydrin to paper yellow and give with Grote's reagent blue marks. The yield at Ibotensaeure amounted to in the harvest 196? 215g out approx.. 700 kg fresh mushrooms, i.e. 0.03 %. the real content may become estimated on 0,05 %, so that Ibotensaeure may be regarded because of their high pharmacodynamic effectiveness as substantial contents material of Amanita muscaria. After less careful processing we isolated 196? an active substance, C4H6N2O2, Smp. 174-175, from water - methanol, which proved as dismantling product of Ibotensaeure.
paper 2:
A novel constituent of amanita muscaria
isolation of 3-hydroxyisoxazole from natural sources.
fresh plants were added to boiling water, cooled rapidly, filtered and the filtrates treated with Deacidite FF (base) resin. The resin was washed with water and the compound eluted by means of acetic acid.The eluate was freeze-dried, disolved in water and passed down a column of celulose phosphate (whatman P70). the substance gave a pale yellow band which was elated with N NH4OH and the eluate freeze dried . The semi-purified material was crystallized from alcohol to give the compound, mp. 172-174 (decomp)

They probably extract the dried mushroom three times with Everclear and then evaporate to yield a resinous substance.

to the guy that claims to corespond with mr j ott. seems that the german guys get a bigger yeild (regional variation) and he was making a very very pure product for sale to pharma companies, may be he did not want to tell you how to make 5k in a couple of weeks every autumn. but any way for the purposes of taking it youre self the above method should be cheap, quick and safe. caution 15 mg is very very small.
be safe have a sitter !

yes it would be a 20 times weight extraction with a solvent.
new information and research!
wondering around my local supermarket recently, happened to pick up a box of water filters ( you know the ones , in the jug ) and guese what they contain activated charcoal ( usefull) and ion exchange resin to remove the nitrates. how easy just pick some up at youre local wallmart alternative, separate them , wash in distilled water and youre away.
love akl
