Gigantine

Gigantine is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid found in Carnegiea gigantea and other related cactus species.[1][2] It was first discovered along with macromerine in 1967.[3] Gigantine is found in significant quantities in many mescaline-containing cactus species, but it is unclear whether it contributes to their psychoactive effects.[1] The compound has been suspected to be hallucinogenic based on animal studies in cats and monkeys, but has not been evaluated in humans.[4][3]
