Affinisine is a monoterpenoid indole alkaloid which can be isolated from plants of the genus Tabernaemontana . [1] [2] Structurally, it can be considered a member of the sarpagine alkaloid family and may be synthesized from tryptophan via a Pictet-Spengler reaction. [3] [4]
Limited pharmacological testing has indicated that affinisine may effectively inhibit acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. [1] [5]
