Summary
Mescaline was identified in Opuntia cylindrica, a cactus species, revealing its potential as a source for this psychoactive compound. In a study involving 25 samples of the cactus, 68% contained mescaline, with concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 1.5%. This discovery contributes to the understanding of chemical synthesis and alkaloids in botany and ecology. The findings have garnered attention, reflected in 168 article views and 12 citations since publication. Such insights can enhance information retrieval in library science and botanical research applications.
