Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe authors report the isolation and structural identification of a new alkaloid from peyote. Using spectroscopic and chemical methods, the compound is identified as a conjugate of mescaline with a carbohydrate moiety. The work provides the first full characterization of this naturally occurring mescaline derivative, expanding knowledge of the alkaloid composition in the peyote cactus.
