Voacamine, also known under the older names voacanginine and vocamine, is a naturally occurring dimeric indole alkaloid of the secologanin type, found in a number of plants, including Voacanga africana and Tabernaemontana divaricata.

It is approved for use as an antimalarial drug in several African countries.[1]

Voacamine exhibits cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonistic activity.[2]

Chemical structure

There is considerable confusion about the absolute stereochemical configuration of voacamine and the originally published absolute structure had to be later revised.[3][4]

Toxicity/Adverse Effect/Side Effect

Voacamine can cause hypertension in high dose.[5]

gollark: Unlikely.

gollark: gollark2: what?

gollark: Is the CC `math.randomseed` thing guaranteed to produce the same results given the same seed on any computer?

gollark: It doesn't help that its CLI is ridiculously inconsistent.

gollark: If you run network services as root, any exploit in them will be much more dangerous to the whole system.
