Salvinorin A has only been administered to humans in a few studies, one showing that its effects peaked at about 2 minutes, that its subjective effects may overlap with those of [[serotonergic psychedelics]], and that it temporarily impairs recall and recognition memory.<ref name="NCBI"/> Like most other agonists of kappa opioid receptors, salvinorin A produces [[sedation]], [[psychotomimesis]], [[dysphoria]], [[anhedonia]], and [[depression (mood)|depression]].<ref name=fp/><ref name="Mott2011">{{cite book| vauthors = Mott PL |title=A Literature Review on the Status and Effects of Salvia Divinorum on Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Functioning|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UFp_x7qBPk0C&pg=PA27|date=2 December 2011|publisher=Universal-Publishers|isbn=978-1-61233-777-7|pages=27–}}</ref><ref name="Biller2008">{{cite book| vauthors = Biller J |title=The Interface of Neurology & Internal Medicine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SRIvmTVcYBwC&pg=PA681|year=2008|publisher=Lippincott Williams & Wilkins|isbn=978-0-7817-7906-7|pages=681–}}</ref> Salvinorin A has been screened for its possible use as a structural "scaffold" in [[medicinal chemistry]] in developing new [[prescription drug|drugs]] for treating [[psychiatry|psychiatric diseases]]<ref name=fp/><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Orton E, Liu R | title = Salvinorin A: A Mini Review of Physical and Chemical Properties Affecting Its Translation from Research to Clinical Applications in Humans | journal = Translational Perioperative and Pain Medicine | volume = 1 | issue = 1 | pages = 9–11 | year = 2014 | pmid = 25346937 | pmc = 4208627 }}</ref> such as [[cocaine dependence]].<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Kivell BM, Ewald AW, Prisinzano TE | title = Salvinorin A analogs and other κ-opioid receptor compounds as treatments for cocaine abuse | chapter = Salvinorin a Analogs and Other Kappa-Opioid Receptor Compounds as Treatments for Cocaine Abuse | series = Advances in Pharmacology | volume = 69 | pages = 481–511 | year = 2014 | pmid = 24484985 | pmc = 4128345 | doi = 10.1016/B978-0-12-420118-7.00012-3 | isbn = 9780124201187 }}</ref>
