reserpiline

Reserpiline is a hypotensive extract of Rauwolfia vomitoria.

Isoreserpiline, an indole alkaloid discovered in R. tetraphylla, exhibits a range of biological activities. This compound enhances the antibacterial efficacy of nalidixic acid against both nalidixic acid-sensitive and -resistant E. coli strains through a synergistic effect. Additionally, at a dosage of 25 mg kg, it mitigates amphetamine-induced hyperactivity in mice.

Isocarapanaubine and reserpiline are cytotoxic constituents from the barks of Ochrosia elliptica.
