Coronaridine, also known as 18-carbomethoxyibogamine, is an alkaloid found in Tabernanthe iboga and related species, including Tabernaemontana divaricata for which (under the now obsolete synonym Ervatamia coronaria) it was named.[1]

Chemistry

Congeners

Coronaridine congers are important in drug discovery and development due to multiple actions on different targets. They have ability to inhibit Cav2.2 channel,[4] modulate and inhibit subunits of nAChr selectively such as α9α10,[4] α3β4[5][6] and potentiate GABAA activity.[7]

Pharmacology

Coronaridine has been reported to bind to an assortment of molecular sites, including:

iboga alkaloids, coronaridine does not bind to either the σ1 or σ2 receptor.[10]
