Harmala alkaloid: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Harmala alkaloids''' are a group of psychoactive alkaloids found primarily within the seeds of [[Harmala_alkaloid#Peganum_harmala_.28syrian_rue.29|''~~peganum~~ harmala'']], also known as syrian rue. These alkaloids are of interest for their use in Amazonian shamanism, where they are derived from plants. Harmala alkaloids are naturally occurring beta-carboline alkaloids that are structurally related to harmaline, and also found in the vine [[Banisteriopsis caapi]]. They also occur in [[tobacco]], and contribute to its subjective effects, but not to its addictiveness (which is instead caused by the presence of nicotine), and in more negligible amounts than in Peganum Harmala and Banisteriopsis cappi.
