Reserpine (50-55-5) is an indole alkaloid isolated from Rauwolfia serpentina which acts as a potent antihypertensive agent. Irreversibly inhibits both isoforms of vesicular monoamine transporter VMAT1 and 2, Ki=34 and 12 nM, respectively.1,2 May be used to pharmacologically deplete monoamines in various animal models.3  Inhibits the multidrug resistance protein P-glycoprotein, IC50=0.5 mM.3 Reserpine-induced hypokinesia is considered a useful animal model of Parkinson’s disease.5
