Ibogaine is a psychoactive indole alkaloid, primarily known for its potential anti-addictive properties. It acts complexly across multiple neurotransmitter systems, including serotonin, dopamine, and NMDA receptors. Due to its strong effects and possible cardiotoxic effects, its use is classified as risky. Ibogaine is traditionally used in West African cultures and is gaining scientific interest in the context of addiction therapy.

Receptor Profile
Der NMDA-Rezeptor ist ein ionotroper Glutamatrezeptor, der eine zentrale Rolle bei synaptischer Plastizität, Lernen und Gedächtnisbildung spielt. Er benötigt sowohl Glutamat als auch Glycin als Co-Agonisten zur Aktivierung.
Der 5-HT2A-Rezeptor ist ein Serotonin-Rezeptor der Klasse Gq-gekoppelter GPCRs. Er ist der primäre molekulare Angriffspunkt klassischer Psychedelika und spielt eine Rolle bei Kognition und Wahrnehmung.
Der Dopamintransporter (DAT) ist ein Natrium-abhängiger Monoamintransporter, der Dopamin aus dem synaptischen Spalt entfernt. Er ist ein zentrales Ziel von Stimulanzien und spielt eine Schlüsselrolle im Belohnungssystem.
Substance Fingerprint
Pharmacological profile based on receptor binding, mechanism of action, and substance class. Limited data — interpret profile with caution.
Synapedia Evidence
Effects & Pharmacology is partially translated. Some content may appear in German.
Ibogaine primarily acts as an agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor and as an antagonist at the NMDA receptor. These interactions influence the serotonergic and glutamatergic systems, leading to its psychoactive effects.
