Trichocereine, also known as N,N-dimethyl-3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine or as N,N-dimethylmescaline (MM-M), is a phenethylamine alkaloid that is found in several plant species and is closely related to mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine).[1][2] It was first reported in the Trichocereus terscheckii cactus in 1935 and was subsequently isolated from Gymnocalycium spp. and Turbinicarpus spp. cacti.[1][2] Additionally, it has been found in the shrubs Acacia berlandieri and Acacia rigidula.[1] In contrast to mescaline, trichocereine has been found to lack psychoactive effect in humans at doses of up to 550 mg.[1][2] Similarly, the compound showed no activity in the conditioned avoidance test in rodents.[1][3]
