Voacangine (12-methoxyibogamine-18-carboxylic acid methyl ester) is an alkaloid found predominantly in the root bark of the Voacanga africana tree, as well as in other plants such as Tabernanthe iboga, Tabernaemontana africana, Trachelospermum jasminoides, Tabernaemontana_divaricata and Ervatamia yunnanensis.[2][3][4][5] It is an iboga alkaloid which commonly serves as a precursor for the semi-synthesis of ibogaine.[6] It has been demonstrated in animals to have similar anti-addictive properties to ibogaine itself.[7] It also potentiates the effects of barbiturates.[8] Under UV-A and UV-B light its crystals fluoresce blue-green, and it is soluble in ethanol.
Pharmacology
It exhibits AChE inhibiting activity.[9]
Side Effect
High doses of voacangine produce convulsions and asphyxia.[10]
