A comprehensive hallucinogenic-specific knowledgebase was established for research purpose. The knowledge and data for hallucinogens, their corresponding targets, and pathways had been collected to build a comprehensive database, which was also implemented with our in house computational tools for target identification and compound screening research. Salvinorin A was predicted to act on not only kappa opioid receptor, but also muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, dopamine receptor, and cannabinoid receptors. The pathological laughing side effect of salvinorin A, which haven’t been reported from other kappa opioid receptor agonists, could be blamed to its modulation on dopamine receptor 2 or muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 2.
