Gigantine is an isoquinoline alkaloid found in Carnegiea gigantea and other related cacti.[1] Gigantine was first discovered along with Macromerine in 1967.[2] i 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]
