N-Acetylmescaline is a mescaline derivative found in trace quantities in peyote (Lophophora williamsii).^[1] It is a metabolite of mescaline in humans, but it has little pharmacological effects of its own.^[2] At doses of up to 750 mg, only mild drowsiness was observed.^[2]

N-Acetylmescaline has microtubule assembly inhibitory activity.^[3]
