Peganum harmala, commonly called ~~Syrian~~ rue, is a plant native to the eastern Iranian region west to India. It has also spread invasively throughout Arizona, California, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington. The plant itself produces seeds which contain harmala alkaloids and is freely available and legal to purchase online through the use of google. Powdered ~~Syrian~~ rue seeds act as a reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (RIMA) at ~~dosages~~ of 2 - 5g.

Syrian rue seeds contain several different harmala alkaloids at slightly varying percentages~~, only~~ some ~~of which~~ are monoamine oxidase A inhibitors [[MAOI]]. In one study, total harmala alkaloids were at least 5.9% of dried weight.
