They don’t have any structure info on Alcarelle, the synthetic designed by an Imperial College London team led by a guy who formerly advised and clashed with the UK home office on drug policy.
This quote suggests to me it’s more a cocktail than a single compound:
With Sentia I just wanted to prove that it’s possible to come up with a functional alternative to alcohol using botanicals, to establish the principle and get a conversation going, because really people haven’t thought the concept was viable or practicable, and likely haven’t heard of GABA either,” says Nutt.
Indeed, Sentia is just the first step in his objective to provide an ethanol-free, more controlled route to the pleasant feeling of tipsiness without all the grim downsides. He’s currently working to isolate and manufacture up to 13 molecules — with historical safety records — that, his research shows, interact with the right brain receptors to give that chilled feeling but with none of the toxic messiness that so often follows achieving that using alcohol.
