Phytochemistry of Acacia
[edit] Alkaloids
Egyptian goddess Isis
As mentioned previously, Acacias contain a number of
organic compounds that defend them from pests and grazing animals.
[4] Many of these compounds are
psychoactive in humans. The
alkaloids found in Acacias include
dimethyltryptamine (DMT),
5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) and
N-methyltryptamine (NMT). The plant leaves, stems and/or roots are sometimes made into a brew together with some
MAOI-containing plant and consumed orally for healing, ceremonial or religious uses.
Egyptian mythology has associated the acacia tree with characteristics of the
tree of life (see the article on the
Myth of Osiris and Isis).

[edit] Cyanogenic glycosides
Nineteen different species of Acacia in the Americas contain
cyanogenic glycosides, which, if exposed to an
enzyme which specifically splits glycosides, can release
hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the acacia "leaves."
[59] This sometimes results in the poisoning death of
livestock.
If fresh plant material spontaneously produces 200 ppm or more HCN, then it is potentially toxic. This corresponds to about 7.5 μmol HCN per gram of fresh plant material. It turns out that, if acacia "leaves" lack the specific glycoside-splitting enzyme, then they may be less toxic than otherwise, even those containing significant quantities of cyanic glycosides.
[30]
Some Acacia species containing cyanogens:
- Acacia erioloba
- Acacia cunninghamii
- Acacia obtusifolia
- Acacia sieberiana
- Acacia sieberiana var. woodii[60]
