Voacanga Africana Root Bark - 28 grams

Voacanga Africana Root Bark is closely related to both Tabernanthe and Tabernaemontana. Many species from this genus also produce complex indole alkaloids of the same type and structure as these other two genera, some being source material for the isolation and semi-synthesis of medically used alkaloids.

Most species have complex mixtures of alkaloids in the leaves (ibogamin and other ibogoids), and not so complex mixtures in the bark and root bark, with Voacangine, Vobtusine and Voacamine types predominating.  The seeds of Voacanga africana contain up to 10% indolealkaloids, and the bark contains about 2%.

We offer this product as a raw material, available in 28 gram units.
