Mimosa tenuiflora: Difference between revisions

Although no beta-carbolines have been detected in ''M. tenuiflora'' samples, it exhibits psychoactivity when taken alone, suggesting an alternate mechanism than the DMT it contains, which would otherwise be rapidly metabolized by the MAO-A enzyme, rendering it virtually inactive (at least from its DMT content).{{citation needed}}

In 2005 the alkaloid Yuremamine was isolated from root bark samples, and is considered the first compound in a new family of of phytoindole compounds.<ref> Vepsäläinen, J.
