CAS 483-04-5: Ajmalicine
Description:Ajmalicine, also known as raubasine, is an alkaloid derived from the plant species of the genus Rauvolfia, particularly Rauvolfia serpentina. It is characterized by its complex indole structure, which contributes to its pharmacological properties. Ajmalicine exhibits a range of biological activities, including antihypertensive and sedative effects, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. The compound acts primarily as a peripheral vasodilator and has been studied for its potential in treating hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. Ajmalicine's mechanism of action involves the inhibition of certain neurotransmitter receptors, which can lead to a decrease in blood pressure. Additionally, it has been noted for its potential neuroprotective effects. The substance is typically found in the form of a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents. Due to its bioactive nature, ajmalicine is also a subject of research in the fields of pharmacology and natural product chemistry, exploring its therapeutic potential and safety profile.
