IBOGA (Tabernanthe iboga Baill.) X

Activities (Iboga) — Anesthetic (f; HDN); Antiaddictive (1; X10891627); Anticholinesterase (1;
HDN); Antipyretic (f; HDN); Aperitif (f; CRC; HDN); Aphrodisiac (f; CRC; HDN); Cardiosedative
(1; HDN); CNS-Stimulant (f; CRC); Hallucinogen (1; CRC; HDN); Hypertensive (1; HDN);
Hypotensive (1; HDN); Narcotic (f; CRC; HDN); Negative Inotropic (1; HDN); Prolactinogenic
(1; X10891627); Respiradepressant (1; HDN); Stimulant (f; CRC); Tonic (f; CRC; HDN).


Indications (Iboga) — Addiction (1; X10891627); Anorexia (1; CRC; HDN); Convalescence (f;

Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Iboga) — Not covered (AHP; KOM; PH2).
Toxic doses may produce convulsions, paralysis, and death from respiratory arrest while the heart
keeps beating. LD50 (total alkaloids) = 350 mg/kg orl mouse, LD50 (total alkaloids) = 352 mg/kg
orl rat. While ibogaine is a potent anticholinesterase agent, a strongly diluted root extract (few mg
root powder/50 ml water) was still ca. 100 times stronger than pure ibogaine (comparable to
physostigmine, the strongest cholinesterase inhibitor known) probably due to synergistic or additive
relations with tabernanthine, ibogamine, and iboluteine (HDN).
