Iboga-type alkaloids are a set ofmonoterpeneindole alkaloids comprising naturally occurring compounds found inTabernanthe andTabernaemontana, as well as syntheticstructural analogs. Naturally occurring iboga-type alkaloids includeibogamine,ibogaine,tabernanthine, and other substituted ibogamines(see below). Many iboga-type alkaloids displaybiological activities such ascardiac toxicity andpsychoactive effects, and some have been studied as potential treatments fordrug addiction.[1][2]

Catharanthine is anunsaturated analog ofcoronaridine.
Similarly to other ring-constrainedtryptamines such asyohimbine[3] andmitragynine (seemitragynine pseudoindoxyl),oxidation andrearrangement products of substituted ibogamines have been reported, such asiboluteine (ibogaine pseudoindoxyl) (CID:21589055) andvoaluteine (CID:633439).[4]

Ibogaine and related alkaloids reduce the craving for subsequent doses in individuals experiencingwithdrawal symptoms associated withdrug addiction. Their use has been investigated in several clinical studies involving individuals dependent onopioids,cocaine, and other substances. While positive effects—such as alleviation of withdrawal symptoms, improvement indepression, and mitigation ofpost-traumatic symptoms—have been confirmed, severe medical complications, including fatal cases, have also been reported due to neurotoxic and cardiotoxic side effects.[5]
18-MC,ME-18-MC, and18-MAC arecoronaridine analogs with similar anti-addictive effects.[6][7][8][9]
