Macromerine is a phenethylamine derivative. It was first identified from the cactus Coryphantha macromeris.^[1] It can also be found in C. runyonii,^[2] C. elephantidens, and other related members of the family Cactaceae. The plants may have been used by Tarahumara shamans for their entheogenic effects.^{[speculation?]}

Chemistry[]

Macromerine is in a family of chemicals called the phenethylamines and is similar in structure to epinephrine. The full chemical name of macromerine is (R)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(dimethylamino)ethanol.

Effects[]

Little is known about potential psychedelic effects of macromerine. At least one study found macromerine to be non-psychoactive.^[3]
