Research & Evidence
Tabernanthine is an iboga-type indole alkaloid structurally related to ibogaine and found in Tabernanthe species. Like other iboga alkaloids it has been studied chiefly in a pharmacological context, but it is far less characterized than ibogaine and relatively little about its effects in humans is firmly established.
Toxicity & Safety
Iboga alkaloids as a class can affect cardiac conduction, and the safety profile of tabernanthine specifically is not well characterized. Caution is warranted.
