Science paper Tetrapterys mucronata

[_Trip_]

Did a quick search and I could not find a mention on nexus.

Interesting paper:

"bufotenine (1) 3.26 ± 0.31 mg/g, 5-methoxy-N-methyltryptamine (2) 0.88 ± 0.08 mg/g, 5-methoxy-bufotenine (3) 3.07 ± 0.22 mg/g and 2-methyl-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (4) 0.14 ± 0.004 mg/g. The water decoction presented slightly lower levels, ranging between 2.32 ± 0.14, 0.50 ± 0.04, 1.53 ± 0.09 and 0.10 ± 0.01 mg/g for (1), (2), (3) and (4) respectively"

Good find. Ott mentioned this one in his seminal "Ayahuasca Analogues".

5-methoxy-bufotenine

This is a nonsense name. Presumably they mean 5-MeO-DMT.

Interesting that the 5-MeO-DMT appears at a significantly lower concentration in the brew, out of all the four alkaloids mentioned.
