A ibogaína é um alcaloide indólico derivado da planta africana Tabernanthe iboga e usado no tratamento do abuso de substâncias psicoativas. Foi realizada uma pesquisa extensiva acerca do contexto histórico e dos aspetos clínicos e forenses. Atualmente, o consumo de ibogaína é ilegal em múltiplos países devido às suas propriedades alucinogénicas e efeitos cardiotóxicos, tendo sido demonstrada a sua atividade em diversos mecanismos no sistema nervoso central e no coração. A maioria dos mecanismos parece explicar a eficácia na diminuição de comportamentos aditivos e de sintomas de abstinência de opioides. No entanto, está descrita a associação da ibogaína a mais de 30 mortes desde 1990 e a provável relação com os efeitos em recetores cardíacos. Alguns fatores possivelmente responsáveis pelos efeitos tardios da ibogaína incluem a semivida prolongada do seu metabolito, a noribogaína; a acumulação da ibogaína no tecido adiposo; e a existência de metabolizadores lentos. Desta forma, é necessário aprofundar o estudo dos potenciais benefícios médicos da ibogaína assim como dos seus efeitos adversos. Ibogaine is a natural indole alkaloid derived from the African shrub Tabernanthe iboga used in the treatment of psychoactive substance abuse. There has been made an extensive search regarding ibogaine's historical context, clinical and forensic features. Ibogaine's consumption was made illegal in several countries due to its hallucinogenic and cardiotoxic effects. It has shown to act on a variety of sites in the central nervous system and in the heart. Most of these mechanisms seem to explain ibogaine's efficacy in decreasing drug-seeking behavior and opioid withdrawal symptoms. However, it has been related to more than 30 deaths since 1990 which seem to be caused by the effects in cardiac receptors. Many factors appear to explain ibogaine late effects including the long half-life of its active metabolite, noribogaine; accumulation of ibogaine in adipose tissue; and the existence of poor metabolizers. Therefore, it is necessary to further study the potential medical uses of ibogaine as well as its adverse effects.
