Rauwolfia Alkaloids

Abstract

Rauwolfia plants contain alkaloids and constitute one of the important series of drugs of vegetable origin. In recent years, Rauwolfia has been the subject of considerable scientific research, particularly for its applications in medicine. It is an important genus of the family Apocynaceae which is characterized by the presence of toxic alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, coumarins and other bitter principles, some of which possess therapeutic value. The most important species of this family which are used in therapy are: Holarrherta antidysenterica Wall (5, 6, 7, 48, 57, 92, 93), commonly known as “kurchi” in India, applied in cases of dysentery; Alstonia scholaris R. Br. (40, 41, 62a, 50) as an antipyretic (73), Apocynum androsaemifolium L. and A. cannabium L. (1, 100) as substitutes for digitalis and as combined tonic diuretics for the treatment of cardiac dropsy; Strophanthus courmontii Franch (61) and Str. kombé Oliv (97) used in cases of cardiac weakness etc.
