Beschreibung Lophophora williamsii (generally called peyote) is a little, spineless cactus with psychoactive alkaloids, especially mescaline. Peyote utilizes crassulacean acid metabolic process (CAM), an alternate type of photosynthesis that exists in succulents such as cacti and also other desert plants. Its transcriptome can be taken into consideration an essential resource for future study focused on recognizing exactly how these plants make more effective use of water in marginal environments and also for research study focused on far better understanding of the total mechanisms leading to production of plant secondary metabolites as well as natural products. The "Peyote" is a little, fleshy cactus without spinal columns that expands wild in the Mexican highlands as well as in the deserts of South-western United States. Peyote comes from the genus Lophophora, which includes two varieties, L. williamsii and L. diffusa. This lophophora williamsii plant is capable of creating large quantities of alkaloids with psychotropic activity, such as β-phenylethylamine or tetrahydroisoquinoline, which are stemmed from the amino acid tyrosine. The feature of most alkaloids in plants is vague as well as their relevance in metabolic process is highly questionable. Alkaloids are heterocyclic substances which contain a nitrogen atom. The setting of the nitrogen atom in the hydrocarbon ring varies amongst various alkaloids and also various plant households. The degrees of alkaloids in plants additionally differ from trace total up to up to 10 % of dry weight, and also a solitary plant types could contain over one hundred of various types. A lot of alkaloids are extremely toxic as well as consequently have the potential to work in the chemical defense arsenal of plants versus assault by herbivores and also bacteria. Alkaloids have typically been of fantastic interest to people because of their noticable physiological and also clinical residential properties. Peyote mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) is a course I hallucinogenic alkaloid, and also although it is chemically unconnected to lysergic acid diethyl amide (LSD), the hallucinogenic effects of mescaline resemble those of LSD, albeit longer lasting.
