Psilocybin: crystal structure solutions enable phase analysis of prior art and recently patented examplesThis paper (2021) utilized crystallographic techniques to examine the various crystalline arrangements, known as polymorphs, that naturally arise from the production of synthetic psilocybin. It was found that three psilocybin polymorphs repeatedly occur from the psilocybin crystallization process and that they have appeared in numerous places throughout the history of synthesizing psilocybin since 1959. The study suggests the revision of recently awarded patents that include descriptions of crystalline psilocybin mixtures inappropriately reported as a novel.
