Abstract :
[en] Reserpiline, sarpagine, lochnerine, harman and beta-yohimbine were the main alkaloids identified in the bark of Rauwolfia sellowii collected in Amazonia. This chemical race could be used for the commercial preparation of reserpiline, which is included in various pharmaceutical proprietary preparations used as antihypertensive.
Commentary :
Some years later, we receive an information from Brazil concerning doubts about the identification of our voucher sample. The batch we have analysed could be another species of Rauwolfia: R. bahiensis.We keep another specimen of voucher sample in our herbarium (Laboratory of Pharmacognosy-ULg)
