Yohimban-16-carboxylicacid, 11,17-dimethoxy-18-[(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)oxy]-, methyl ester,4-oxide, (3b,16b,17a,18b,20a)- (9CI)

Description:

Yohimban-16-carboxylic acid, 11,17-dimethoxy-18-[(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)oxy]-, methyl ester, 4-oxide, (3b,16b,17a,18b,20a)-, commonly referred to by its CAS number 474-48-6, is a complex alkaloid derived from the yohimbe tree, which is native to Central and West Africa. This compound features a yohimbine backbone, characterized by a tetracyclic structure that includes multiple functional groups, such as methoxy and carboxylic acid moieties. Its unique structure contributes to its biological activity, particularly in the realm of pharmacology, where it has been studied for its potential effects on the central nervous system and as an aphrodisiac. The presence of the trimethoxybenzoyl group enhances its lipophilicity, potentially influencing its absorption and distribution in biological systems. Yohimban derivatives are of interest in medicinal chemistry for their various therapeutic applications, including the treatment of erectile dysfunction and as a stimulant. However, the specific pharmacological properties and safety profile of this compound require further investigation to fully understand its potential uses and effects.
