2495 L-Coprine L-Coprine is found in mushrooms. L-Coprine is present in the moderately toxic ink cap mushroom Coprinus atramentarius (common ink cap). Produces an oversensitivity to ethanol in some people. L-Coprine belongs to the family of Alpha Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon)[1]. (Reference: [1] Amino Acid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid). 58919-61-2 4479242 C8H14N2O4 202.095360 White powder. 197 - 199°C Oral, dermal, inhalation, and parenteral (contaminated drugs). (A3101) It metabolises to 1-aminocyclopropanol, a closely-related chemical to Disulfiram and exhibits the same mechanism of action: inhibition of the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which is required for alchohol metabolism. (L1015) Metabolises to 1-aminocyclopropanol. (L1015) No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC). Coprine occurs naturally in the otherwise edible mushroom, the common ink cap (Coprinopsis atramentaria). (L1015) Coprine interferes with the bodys ability to metabolize alcohol. This causes the build of of acetaldehyde in the body. (L1671) Coprine may cause symptoms such as flushing, headache, nausea, palpitations, dyspnea, dizziness.
