Affinisine is amonoterpenoidindolealkaloid which can be isolated from plants of the genusTabernaemontana.[1][2] Structurally, it can be considered a member of thesarpagine alkaloid family and may be synthesized fromtryptophan via aPictet-Spengler reaction.[3][4]
Limited pharmacological testing has indicated that affinisine may effectively inhibitacetylcholinesterase andbutyrylcholinesterase.[1][5]
