Application

Reserpine has been used:
  • to study its effect on minimal inhibitory concentration of trovafloxacin and ciprofloxacin
  • inject rats, to study its effect on behavioural parameters such as locomotion and fear/anxiety
  • as a lock spray reference compound in lipid profiling

Biochem/physiol Actions

Reserpine is an alkaloid present in Rauwolfia species. It is useful in treating systemic hypertension, schizophrenia, psychiatric disorders and Raynaud′s syndrome. Reserpine is known to inhibit adrenaline induced-cutaneous blood vessel constriction. It diminishes the effect of hyperthyroidism on cardiovascular and nervous system.
Inhibits vesicular uptake of catecholamines and serotonin.
