Ibogaine
Ibogaine is a ‘psychoactive’ compound which is naturally found in various plants, particularly in members of ‘dogbane family’ which is known as Tabernanthe iboga. It is used in medicines. It is also used by Africans as a part of their ritual in Bwiti, a spiritual tradition. The recent studies have shown that it has anti addictive properties. It is an ‘indole alkaloid’ which can be extracted from iboga plants or through semi synthesis from the ‘voacangine’, an alkaloid plant. However a complete organic synthesis is also achieved but is not common being very expensive and the production of a significant yield for the commercial purpose is very challenging.
The research has shown its abilities an anti addictive which may be used to address the addiction of alcohol, cocaine and heroin. However its use against the drug addiction is a controversial issue across the world for its ‘hallucinogenic’ properties. It is prohibited completely in United States and some other countries. However, in Mexico and Canada, its therapy is permissible in addiction treatment and further processes improvement. Due to a convertible nature of Ibogaine, the
further research on the anti addictive properties of Ibogaine has been slowed down. However it is widely used across the world as a medical ’subculture’ for the treatment of drug use. According to a report it is being used in twelve countries across the world for addiction treatment of alcohol, heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine and to address some spiritual issues. A nonprofit organization was founded in Sweden in 2006 for the promotion of ibogaine, as an agent for drug addiction treatment care.
