N-Acetylmescaline is amescalinederivative found in trace quantities inpeyote (Lophophora williamsii).[1] It is ametabolite of mescaline in humans, but it has littlepharmacological activity of its own.[2] At doses of up to 750 mg, only mild drowsiness was observed.[2][3] Hence,N-acetylmescaline appears to be inactive as ahallucinogen.[3]N-Acetylmescaline hasmicrotubule assembly inhibitory activity.[4]
Two N-substituted mescaline analogs isolated from L. williamsii are N-methylmescaline (62a) and N-acetylmescaline (62b).95 N-Methylmescaline shows no central effects at a dose which would represent many times the level that would be encountered in a normal dose of peyote.67 N-Acetylmescaline, which has been identified as a metabolite of mescaline in man, is centrally inactive to 750 mg.96
