Gigantine is an tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid found in Carnegiea gigantea and other related cacti. [1] Gigantine was first discovered along with macromerine in 1967. [2] It is found in significant quantities in many mescaline-containing cactus species, but it is unclear whether gigantine contributes in any way to their psychoactive effects. [3]
