Short description: none


Trichocereus macrogonus var. pachanoi, syn. Echinopsis pachanoi contain several phenethylamines.

Naturally occurring phenethylamines are organic compounds which may be thought of as being derived from phenethylamine itself that are found in living organisms.

Tyramine is a phenethylamine that occurs widely in plants[1] and animals, and is metabolized by various enzymes, including monoamine oxidases. Substituted phenethylamines like mescaline are found in psychoactive cactus, and perhaps in some Acacia or Senegalia species.[2]: 212–213 [3]
