Pellotine, also known as peyotline or N-methylanhalonidine, is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid found in Lophophora species, in particular L. diffusa. It is the second most common alkaloid found in Lophophora williamsii (peyote). Pellotine is slightly sedative, and has been used by Native Americans as a constituent of peyote for sacramental purposes. It was reportedly once marketed for use as a sedative.
