Biological Activity

[Description]:

Deserpidine (Harmonyl) is an alkaloid isolated from the root of Rauwolfia canescens related to Reserpine. Deserpidine is used as an antihypertensive agent and a tranquilizer. Deserpidine is a competitive angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Deserpidine also decreases angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex[1][2][3].

[Target]

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)[3]

[In Vitro]

Deserpidine is an effective ganglionic blocking agent, which differs from Reserpine only by the absence of a methoxy group at C-11. Deserpidine has been used in the treatment of hypertension and psychosis. In addition, Deserpidine appears to act as a controller of other cardiac disorders[1][2].
