Abstract
The alkaloids of 14 species of Trichocereus are reported. Eight different previously known phenethylamines vis. tyramine, N-methyltyramine hodenine, 3-methoxytyramine, 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine, N-methyl-3-methoxytyramine, 3-hydroxy-4,5,dimethoxyphenethylamine, and mescaline were identified in these species. Mescaline was found to occur in T. cuzcoensis, T. fulvilanus, T. taquimbalensis, and T. validus. Mescaline was also present in small amounts in Stetsonia coryne together with traces of anhalidine and anholonidine. 3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenethylamine is idetnfied in a plant, Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum, apparently for the first time. The commonly occurring isomer 3-methoxytyramine was found to be the major alakaloid of Trichcereus cuzcoensis. A tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid, anhalidine, was isolated from Pelecyphora aselliformis.
