Description and Uses

Reserpine causes release of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin at neuronal termini. It weakens the intracellular uptake of biogenic amines and decreases the ability to store them in vesicles.

An indole alkaloid found in Rauwolfia serpentina. Inhibits vesicular uptake of catecholamines and serotonin. Reserpine is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. Antihypertensive.
