Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCRIPTION
Conessine is an alkaloid obtained from the bark and seeds of Holarrhena antidysenterica trees. It binds with high affinity to rat and human histamine H3 receptors in radio-ligand binding assays, acting as a receptor antagonist . H3 antagonists are being researched as potential drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions and for their stimulant and nootropic effects. For example, is in clinical trial for Parkinson's disease, narcolepsy, cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness.

DESCRIPTION
Conessine is a naturally occurring steroidal dibasic alkaloid with a rigid steroid-based skeleton. It is found in a number of plant species from the apocynaceae family. It is a selective, specific and potent histamine H3 receptor antagonist. It has high selectivity for both rat and human histamine H3 receptors. It has a poor rate of CNS clearance. It also binds to the human α2C4 adrenergic receptor. It has anti-malarial activity and displays in vitro antiplasmodial activity. It is used as a treatment for amoebic dysentery. It was developed by Abbott.
