But ibogaine is a finite resource, extracted from plants native to Africa like the iboga shrub (</span><em><span>Tabernanthe iboga</span></em><span>) and the small-fruited voacanga tree (</span><em><span>Voacanga africana</span></em><span>). Further, its use can lead to irregular heartbeats, introducing safety risks and an overall need to better understand how its molecular structure leads to its biological effects.&nbsp;</span></p> February 06, 2025 - 10:45am Andy Fell /news/uc-davis-researchers-achieve-total-synthesis-ibogaine
