Gigantine is an tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid found in Carnegiea gigantea and other related cacti.[1] Gigantine was first discovered along with macromerine in 1967.[2] It is found in significant quantities in many mescaline-containing cactus species, but it is unclear whether gigantine contributes in any way to their psychoactive effects.[3]
