Vinburnine (also L -Eburnamonine or (-) - Eburnamonine ) is a substance from the group of vinca alkaloids .
It is formed by acid hydrolysis from vincamine , the main alkaloid of the small periwinkle ( Vinca minor ). The enantiomer (+) - eburnamonine occurs genuinely in Hunteria eburnea , also a plant from the dog venom family , the racemic form (±) -eburnamonine in Vinca minor .
Vinburnine belongs to the group of peripheral vasodilator substances and is said to have a positive effect on cerebral blood flow and metabolism. Accordingly, vinburnine is part of drugs for the treatment of cerebral circulatory disorders and brain disorders, such as B. mild age-related brain impairment [trade name: Cervoxan ( F , E )]. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland the substance is not used as a medicinal substance. Such finished medicinal products have since been withdrawn from the market in several other European countries.
