- Ibogaine is a
naturally-occurring psychoactive compound found in a number of plants,
principally in a member of the dogbane family known as iboga.
- Ibogaine-containing
preparations are used in medicinal and ritual purposes by African
spiritual traditions of the Bwiti who claim to have learned it from the
Pygmy.
- In recent times it has
been identified as having anti-addictive properties. Ibogaine is an indole
alkaloid which is obtained either by extraction from the iboga plant or by
semi-synthesis from the precursor compound voacangine, another plant
alkaloid.
- A full organic
synthesis of ibogaine has been achieved, but is too expensive and
challenging to produce any commercially significant yield.
- One of the first
noticeable effects of large-dose ibogaine ingestion is ataxia, a
difficulty in coordinating muscle motion which makes standing and walking
virtually impossible without assistance.
- Tabernanthe iboga, is a
plant that grows wild in forests around Africa.
- Tabernanthe Iboga is a
small shrub of the Apocynace family that grows principally in the
equatorial forests of Gabon, Guinea, the Congo and the Cameroon.
- The plant is a yellow
flowered bush between 1.5 - 2.0 meters in height.
- Its psychoactive
alkaloids are concentrated in the roots.
- The main active
component is ibogaine, an indole alkaloid.
- The alkaloids are
related to Ibogaine and as well as Tabernanthe iboga, and have the same
psychopharmacology.
- 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.
- Ibogaine is principally
recognised for its ability to vastly reduce the symptoms of drug
withdrawal.
- The plant is used also
as a general stimulant, especially when a lot of effort or endurance is
required, such as on hunting expeditions, the root being chewed.
- Tabernaemontana in
South America and the closely related Tabernanthe iboga of central Africa
have been used in religious rituals to bring on visions of
ancestors, nature spirits, or distant places.
