Research & Evidence
Anhalinine is one of the many minor tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids of peyote (Lophophora williamsii), occurring alongside mescaline and related compounds such as anhalonine and anhalonidine. Unlike mescaline, these isoquinoline alkaloids are not considered the source of peyote’s psychedelic effect; anhalinine is a structural relative present in small amounts and is not well characterized on its own.
