1 N represents the amide, tertiary, secondary or primary amine identified as the most conformationally flexible [266]. 2 Scar represents the total E-state value for carbons in the molecule. 3 In the presence of a B12 deficiency, administration of ≥ 1,000 µg/day of 5-methyl-THF or other folates could be problematic in otherwise normal individuals or those with psychosis [136, 221]. 4 The compounds were sorted from low to high values of the E-state of key N up to values < 2.5; from values of 2.5 to 3.2 they were sorted on E-state and then from high to low values of Scar; from values of E-state of 3.2 and above, they were sorted on Scar only (see text). * The ratio of Scar to E-state of N is of interest because of the potential interaction between the two variables. ** The E-state value of N for N-acetylmescaline predicted by ChemSAR (http://chemsar.scbdd.com/calcdes/index/) involved 3 possibilities: tertiary amine, double-stranded, and an aromatic component; the results were averaged to represent all 3 characteristics
