Concentrations not reported. No percent-dry-weight or mg/g figures have been published for this compound in its source plants.
Research & Evidence
Anhalonine is a minor tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid identified in peyote (Lophophora williamsii) and related cacti, where it occurs alongside mescaline and other isoquinoline alkaloids. It is one of a group of structurally related minor constituents rather than a primary psychoactive agent, and little is firmly established about its individual effects in humans.
Toxicity & Safety
Isolated anhalonine has not been well studied, and its safety profile in humans is not clearly characterized outside its presence as a minor component of peyote.
