About Reserpine(Rauwolfia Extract)
Reserpine is extracted from the root of Rauwolfia serpentina or Rauwolfia vomitoria, plants found in India and Africa. In traditional herbal medicine, the root was brewed as a tea and used in humans to treat hypertension, insanity, snakebite, and cholera. Reserpine was the first drug found to interfere with the human sympathetic nervous system, and it initiated the effective pharmacotherapeutic control of hypertension. Reserpine is a naturally occurring drug that has been used for centuries in ancient India.
The solution of reserpine turns yellow after standing for a certain period of time, and has significant fluorescence, and the fluorescence increases after adding acid and exposure. Reserpine is a weak base. Reserpine can lower blood pressure and heart rate. Its action is slow, mild and long-lasting. It has a lasting stabilizing effect on the central nervous system and is a good sedative.
