An alkaloid compound derived from peyote cactus, one of the plant's multiple psychoactive constituents.
From Anhalonium (Nahuatl-derived botanical name) + chemical suffix '-in'. Named in late 19th century when chemists were systematically isolating and naming peyote alkaloids.
When you look at peyote chemistry, it's wild how many different alkaloid compounds it contains—each one has its own name, like anhalonin, anhaline, anhalonidine—it's basically a chemical dictionary!
