N-Methylanhalinine, also known as O-methylanhalidine, is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid found in various Turbinicarpus cactus species.^[1]^[2]^[3] It has been found to act as a potent inverse agonist of the serotonin 5-HT₇ receptor.^[4] The compound is several-fold more potent as a serotonin 5-HT₇ receptor inverse agonist than its parent compound anhalinine.^[4]
