Anhalonidine, also known as N-desmethylpellotine, a naturally occurring tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid which can be isolated from certain members of the cactus family, such as Lophophora.^[2]^[3] It is structurally related to mescaline.^[2] Anhalonidine produced no hallucinogenic effects in humans at doses of up to 250 mg.^[2]^[4] However, it has been reported to have a calming or sedative effect instead, with about one-fourth the potency of pellotine and with marked sedation occurring at doses of 100 to 250 mg.^[2]^[4] Anhalonidine has been found to act as a potent inverse agonist of the serotonin 5-HT₇ receptor.^[5]
