Macromerine is a phenethylamine derivative. It was first identified from the cactus Coryphantha macromeris.[1] It can also be found in C. runyonii,[2] C. elephantidens, and other related members of the family Cactaceae.
Chemistry
[edit]Macromerine is a phenethylamine derivative with the molecular formula C12H19NO3.
Effects
[edit]At least one study found macromerine to be non-psychoactive,[3] however as a phenethylamine derivative, it may be psychoactive.
