CAS 4360-12-7: Ajmaline
Description:Ajmaline is a naturally occurring alkaloid primarily derived from the plant Rauvolfia serpentina, commonly known as Indian snakeroot. It is classified as a class IA antiarrhythmic agent, which means it is used to treat certain types of cardiac arrhythmias by stabilizing the cardiac membrane and prolonging the action potential duration. Ajmaline has a complex chemical structure, characterized by a tetracyclic framework that includes a nitrogen atom, contributing to its pharmacological properties. The substance exhibits a range of biological activities, including sedative and antihypertensive effects, and has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications beyond cardiology. Ajmaline is typically administered in a clinical setting, and its effects can vary based on dosage and individual patient factors. As with many pharmacologically active compounds, it is essential to monitor for potential side effects, including hypotension and bradycardia. Overall, ajmaline represents an important compound in both traditional medicine and modern pharmacotherapy.
