Summary
Mescaline, a hallucinogenic compound found in the peyote cactus, has been analyzed in various forms, including sulfate dihydrate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and hydroiodide. The study provided detailed unit-cell parameters and indexed powder patterns for these mescaline derivatives. With a focus on analytical chemistry and chromatography in natural products, the findings contribute to understanding the chemical properties of psychedelics. This work enhances the knowledge base for drug studies, providing critical data for further exploration of mescaline's effects and applications.
Abstract
Unit-cell parameters and indexed powder patterns are reported for mescaline sulfate dihydrate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide and hydroiodide. Mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) is a hallucinogenic substance naturally occurring in the peyote cactus, Lophophora williamsii.
