A chemical alkaloid found in peyote and other Anhalonium cacti with various biochemical properties.
From Spanish 'anhalonium' (botanical name for peyote cactus) + chemical suffix '-ine'. Named in the 19th century by chemists analyzing peyote's active compounds.
The '-ine' suffix basically means 'chemical compound,' and chemists in the 1800s were fascinated by how peyote had multiple active ingredients—each one got its own chemical name!
