Mechanism of Action

Rauwolfia contains several bioactive compounds including: Reserpine, Ajmaline, Serpentine, Yohimbine, Rescinnamine. Reserpine: Lowers blood pressure by depleting catecholamines from sympathetic nerve findings, leading to vasodilation & reduced cardiac output. Ajmaline: Used mainly for arrythmia by blocking sodium channels, which slows cardiac conduction & stabilizes heart rhythms. Serpentine: It exhibits sedative properties which help alleviate conditions like anxiety & insomnia. It helps to reduce blood pressure through central nervous system modulation. Rescinnamine: It functions as an ACE inhibitor, blocking the conversion of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2, a potent vasoconstrictor. This leads to vasodilation & a subsequent reduction in blood pressure.
