Overview

Ayahuasca alkaloids is a botanical extract research compound developed by Biochem Industries Pty Ltd, consisting of the primary psychoactive constituents of the traditional ayahuasca brew. The formulation includes N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and harmala alkaloids such as harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine. DMT serves as a potent agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, while the harmala alkaloids act as reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), preventing the peripheral degradation of DMT and allowing it to reach the central nervous system when administered orally. It is currently being evaluated in pilot clinical trials as a microdose formulation for its potential to modulate neurotransmitter levels, inflammatory markers, and mood self-efficacy, with a focus on applications in cognitive impairment.
