Coronaridine, also known as 18-carbomethoxyibogamine, is an alkaloid found in Tabernanthe iboga and related species,including Tabernaemontana divaricata for which (under the now obsolete synonym Ervatamia coronaria) it was named.[1]

Coronaridine persistently reduces the self-administration of cocaine and morphine in rats.[2]

Pharmacology[edit]

Coronaridine has been reported to bind to an assortment of molecular sites, including: μ-opioid (Ki = 2.0 μM), δ-opioid (Ki = 8.1 μM), and κ-opioid receptors (Ki = 4.3 μM), NMDA receptor (Ki = 6.24 μM) (as an antagonist),[3] and nAChRs (as an antagonist).[4] It has also been found to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, act as a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker,[5] and displays estrogenic activity in rodents.[3][4] In contrast to ibogaine and other iboga alkaloids, coronaridine does not bind to either the σ1 or σ2 receptor.[5] Coronaridine also has estrogenic properties.[3]
