Reseperine

The Reserpine which we offer is a naturally occurring drug that has been used for centuries in ancient India. It is extracted from the root of Rauwolfia vomitoria, plants found extensively in Africa. In India Rauwolfia has been used since centuries for relief of central nervous system disorder including anxiety, excitement etc. In traditional herbal medicine, the root was brewed as a tea and used by humans to treat hypertension, insanity, snakebite, and cholera. The purified alkaloid, reserpine, was isolated in 1952 and is considered the first modern drug for the treatment of hypertension. Reserpine binds to the storage vesicles of neurotransmitters, particularly norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine.
