THE PHARMACOLOGY OF CHARLIE SHEEN

There is a new drug hitting the streets that goes by the name "Charlie Sheen," although it's not widely available because "if you try it once you'll die, your face will melt off, and your children will weep over your exploded body." Little is known about the precise pharmacology and toxicity of Charlie Sheen but using radiolabeled efflux from plasma membrane vesicles preloaded with [3H]serotonin it has been suggested that Charlie Sheen releases 5HT in a stereo-specific, imipramine-sensitive manner characteristic of transporter-mediated exchange. Structurally Charlie Sheen is a cocaine analog featuring a primary alcohol on the tropane ring that bears a striking resemblance to benzoylecgonine with an addiction to prostitutes moiety bound to the "Adonis DNA" ring system. The prostitute addiction moiety provides an additional chiral center giving Charlie Sheen a total of four stereoisomers. It is thought that the (-)-iso-Charlie Sheen isomer binds with the highest affinity to the violence towards women transporter followed by the (+)-Charlie Sheen isomer at the megalomaniacal grandiosity transporter. Users of Charlie Sheen are advised to proceed with utmost caution as the drug has been implicated in numerous instances of violent love and/or violent hate and seriously seriously seriously not being an antisemite, I swear I am not that guy. Seriously.
