L-Ibotenic acid is a psychoactive compound found in Amanita muscaria and related mushroom species. L-Ibotenic acid is a conformationally restricted analog of the neurotransmitter glutamate, which may be activated by different conformations of L-glutamate and is a non-selective glutamate receptor agonist[1].
