Yuremamine
Introduction
Yuremamine is a phytoindole chemical which was first isolated and identified from the plant material of Mimosa tenuiflora in 2005. It may explain the reason that the dimethyltryptamine in some ayahuasca preparations is orally active without the presence of any known MAOI.[1]
