N-Acetylmescaline is a mescaline derivative found in trace quantities in peyote (Lophophora williamsii).[1] It is a metabolite of mescaline in humans, but it has little pharmacological effects of its own.[2] At doses of up to 750 mg, only mild drowsiness was observed.[2]
N-Acetylmescaline has microtubule assembly inhibitory activity.[3]
