Research & Evidence

The galbulimima alkaloids are a group of structurally intricate polycyclic alkaloids obtained from the bark of Galbulimima belgraveana, a rainforest tree native to New Guinea and northern Australia. Bark preparations of this tree have a history of traditional use in Papua New Guinea, and the alkaloids have attracted interest from synthetic chemists because of their elaborate ring systems. Beyond their isolation and structural characterization, little is firmly established about their pharmacology in humans.

Toxicity & Safety

The human safety profile of these individual alkaloids is not well characterized. Traditional bark preparations from the source tree have reputed psychoactive effects, but reliable dose-response and toxicity data are lacking.
