Corrigendum: Metabolite Profiling of Anti‐Addictive Alkaloids from Four Mexican Tabernaemontana Species and the Entheogenic African Shrub Tabernanthe iboga (Apocynaceae)

Extraction studies of Tabernanthe iboga and Voacanga africana.

The root bark of Tabernanthe iboga contains ibogaine as its predominant alkaloid and has been an important source of it. Ibogaine is used experimentally to interrupt drug addiction and allow therapeutic intervention, but is currently unaffordable to doctors in less economically developed countries. To meet this need, an extraction of alkaloids from T. iboga root bark was optimized and simplifie...

Ibogan, tacaman, and cytotoxic bisindole alkaloids from tabernaemontana. Cononusine, an iboga alkaloid with unusual incorporation of a pyrrolidone moiety.

Six new indole alkaloids, viz., cononusine (1, a rare example of an iboga-pyrrolidone conjugate), ervaluteine (2), vincamajicine (3), tacamonidine (4), 6-oxoibogaine (5), and N(4)-chloromethylnorfluorocurarine chloride (6), and two new vobasinyl-iboga bisindole alkaloids, ervatensines A (7) and B (8), in addition to other known alkaloids, were isolated from the stem-bark extract of the Malayan ...

Sigma receptors and iboga alkaloids.

A New Indole Alkaloid Isolated from Tabernaemontana hystrix Steud (Apocynaceae)

Um novo alcalóide, denominado histrixnina (1), e cinco alcalóides indólicos conhecidos, ibogamina (2), olivacina (3) e affinina (4), affinisina (5) e N b -metilaffinisina (6), foram isolados do extrato metanólico das cascas das raízes de Tabernaemontana hystrix. Os triterpenos conhecidos 3O-acetil-α-amirina, 3-O-acetil-β-amirina, 3-O-acetil-lupeol foram também identificados. As estruturas dos c...

Metabolic plasticity and the energy economizing effect of ibogaine, the principal alkaloid of Tabernanthe iboga.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The root bark of iboga plant-Tabernanthe iboga has been used traditionally in Central Africa as a psychoactive substance in religious rituals, while in smaller doses it is appreciated due to its stimulant properties. The iboga root bark, iboga extract or pure ibogaine are being recognized in the West as an anti-addiction remedy and their use is increasing. AIM O...
