Comment
Bo Holmstedt was born 1919 in the southern part of Sweden, and died in 2002. Bo Holmstedt studied medicine at the Karolinska Institute. He became full professor in toxicology at the Karolinska Institute in 1964. He studied organophosphate compounds. He described the synthesis of tabun. He developed a histochemical method to reveal cholinergic nerves. During the Alpha Helix expedition to the Amazons in 1967, he and his collaborators identified hallucinogens, 5-metoxy-N, -carboline-alkaloids, used by different South and American Indian tribes. A tribute to his work was given at the 11th international symposium on cholinergic mechanisms (St Moritz) in 2002. and an obituary paper by Malmfos T.
