What is "rauwolscine"

n. A stereoisomer of yohimbine with stimulant and aphrodisiac properties.

Rauwolscine, also known as isoyohimbine, α-yohimbine, and corynanthidine, is an alkaloid found in various species within the genera Rauwolfia and Pausinystalia (formerly known as Corynanthe). It is a stereoisomer of yohimbine. Rauwolscine is a central nervous system stimulant, a local anesthetic and a vague aphrodisiac.

Rauwolscine acts predominantly as a α-adrenergic receptor antagonist. It has also been shown to function as a 5-HT receptor partial agonist and 5-HT and 5-HT receptor antagonist.
