Yuremamine

Brief overview - What is Yuremamine?

Yuremamine was discovered in 2005 in the bark of Mimosa hostillis (tenuiflora). It was though to be an indole alkaloid, but is structure was slightly revised in 2015 and it is now classed as a flavo-alkaloid [ref]Bioinspired Total Synthesis and Structural Revision of Yuremamine, an Alkaloid from the Entheogenic Plant Mimosa tenuiflora, Jonathan Sperry & Matthew B Calvert, Chemical Communications 51(28) March 2015 DOI:10.1039/C5CC00380 [/ref]

Extraction teks

For extracting yuremamine, only a cold soak will work. Cold alcoholic soak or a cold water soak should separate yuremamine and other alkaloids from most plant material. This results in a brew that is active orally without a MAOI
