Reserpine
Reserpine is a plant alkaloid that acts as an antihypertensive by inhibiting the storage of monoamines in synaptic vesicles. This leads to a depletion of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Due to its mechanism of action, reserpine can induce sedative effects and is used in the treatment of hypertension. Side effects may include depressive symptoms.
