This book presents the Proceedings from the First International
Conference on Ibogaines, held in November of 1999 at New York
University's School of Medicine. In essence, it presents
significant new data on neurobiological, clinical, sociocultural,
and policy aspects of ibogaine.
Ibogaine is a natural product derived from the bark of the root of
the African shrub Tabernathe iboga. It has a history of use as a
medicinal and ceremonial agent in West Central Africa, and has been
alleged to be effective as a treatment for substance dependence.
The study of Ibogaine may shed light on the neurobiology of
addiction and lead to the development of new medication for the
treatment of addiction.
Currently, there is lack of formal approval for the use of
ibogaine, and the demand of the addicts themselves has led to a
distinctive unofficial network which has provided ibogaine
treatment in non-medical settings. If critical safety concerns can
be adequately addressed, ibogaine may provide an inexpensive and
practical treatment approach, well adapted to environments where
resources are severely limited and there is pressing need for
clinical services for heroin addicts, such as Eastern Europe.
This is a paperback edition of Volume 56 of The Alkaloids (ISBN:
0-12-469556-6) edited by Geoffrey A. Cordell, University of
Illinois at Chicago, U.S.A.
