Psychotridine is an alkaloid found in some species of the genus Psychotria, namely Psychotria colorata,^[1] but also Psychotria forsteriana,^[2] Psychotria lyciiflora,^[3] Psychotria oleoides,^[3] and Psychotria beccarioides.^[4] Psychotridine has analgesic effects and dose-dependently inhibits dizocilpine binding to cortical membranes in vitro, suggesting that it acts as a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist.^[1]
