Yohimbine (/ j oʊ ˈ h ɪ m b iː n /), [2] also known as quebrachine, is an indole alkaloid derived from the bark of the African tree Pausinystalia johimbe; also from the bark of the unrelated South American tree Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco. Yohimbine is an α 2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, and has been used in a variety of research ...
[2] [3] Yohimbe bark and extract are used in manufactured dietary supplements, but there is no scientific evidence they have any effect, and yohimbine levels may vary substantially among supplement products. [2] [3] Although proposed as a potential treatment for erectile dysfunction in humans, there are concerns about its safety or effectiveness.
Rauwolscine, also known as isoyohimbine, α-yohimbine, and corynanthidine, is an alkaloid found in various species within the genera Rauvolfia and Corynanthe (including Pausinystalia). [1] It is a stereoisomer of yohimbine. [1] Rauwolscine is a central nervous system stimulant, a local anesthetic and a vague aphrodisiac. [1]
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
Women were between 60 and 75 years old, and the men were aged 55 to 75. They all had overweight or obesity, with a body mass index (BMI) of between 27 and 40 kilograms per square meter (kg/m2).
[3] [4] This is in contrast to yohimbine and rauwolscine which have around 30-fold higher affinity for the α 2-adrenergic receptor over the α 1-adrenergic receptor. [3] [4] As a result, corynanthine is not a stimulant (or an aphrodisiac for that matter), but a depressant, and likely plays a role in the antihypertensive properties of Rauvolfia ...
[55] [56] Yohimbine is more selective to α 2 adrenoceptor; [56] by blocking presynaptic α 2-adrenoceptors, it increases the release of norepinephrine thereby raising the blood pressure. Yohimbine was used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men until emergence of more efficient drugs. [57] Some alkaloids affect the turnover of ...
