How do I add an image of the chemical structure? Also, how do I make a box on the right to contain structure, chemical name, molecular mass, etc.?

Also I'm collecting all the available data on the dark red alkaloid fraction that has been isolated by people extracting DMT from M. hostilis rootbark, and there's a substantial case to be made for identifying this compound as yuremamine and/or someyuremamine breakdown products *since yuremamine is not stable to acid). Is this the proper page on which to summarize the case for this identification, or would this belong in the chemistry subsection of Mimosa tenuiflora?

A chemical structure for yuremamine has been added, along with some references to a commercial site that are not actually relevant to this article. They may be removed. Some editing has now been done to keep this on a factual level. The unsigned visitor above does not need to post the proposed information with the current article, as a "substantial case" has not been presented in this context. In fact, a crude extract of this (or most any other) medicinal plant will typically provide a complex mixture of many components. While yuremamine might be present in such extracts, it is by no means the only component. Moreover, yuremamine IS stable under acidic conditions (and unstable under basic conditions, and also high temperatures). This article is about a pure chemical substance that was isolated and characterized from Mimosa hostilis/tenuiflora, and it would be inappropriate to include a speculative description of a crude, chemically uncharacterized product here. Please start another article if it is your desire to call attention to this unresolved goo. Also, please sign your postings in this section.

I have seen no sources suggesting that tenuiflora IS orally active without an MAO inhibitor, regardless of the purported reason why — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.241.84 (talk) 19:28, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
