introduction
Reserpine is the main constituent of Rauwolfia
species,perticularly Rauwolfia serpentina &
Rauwolfia vomitoria.
It is mainly used for the treatment of
hypertension, headache, tension, asthma &
dermatological disorders.

Constitution of reserpine
1. Molecular formula:- C33H40N2O9
2. Presence of five methoxy groups:-
By zeisel method i.e. when treated with HI yields five
molecules of methyl iodide indicating the presence of five
methoxy groups.
3. Nature of ‘N’ atom:-
a) Secondary ‘N’ – Formation of monoacetyl derivative with
acetic anhydride indicates secondary ‘N’ .
b) Tertiary ‘N’- Reserpine forms quaternary ammonium salts
with CH3I that indicating one of ‘N’ is tertiary.

4. Hydrolysis:- Hydrolysis of reserpine yields mixture of
i) Methyl alcohol
ii) 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzoic acid
iii) Acid (A) of composition

As reserpine does not contain -COOH & -
OH groups, hence its hydrolysis product
reveal that reserpine is a di-ester.
The ester linkage in reserpine has been
further confirmed by its reduction with

Structure of Reserpic acid
a) Molecular formula:-
b) Presence of one carboxyl group:-
By usual tests e.g. silver salt method
c) Presence one –OH group:-
Reserpic acid on oxidation yields a ketone that means it has
secondary alcoholic group.
d) Nature of two methoxy groups:-
By zeisels method.
e) Nature of two ‘N’ atom:-
It shown that it contains two ‘N’ atoms in heterocyclic
ring in the form of- i) Secondary ‘N’
ii) Tertiary amino group

f) Reduction of reserpic acid:-
On reduction with yields reserpic alcohol.
g) Oxidation of reserpic acid:-
On oxidation with KMnO4 it gives 4-methoxy N-
oxalyl anthranilic acid.
Thus one of the methoxyl group is present in meta
position to –NH group

h) Fusion with KOH :-
When reserpic acid is fused with potash it yields 5-
hydroxy isophthalic acid.
One of the acidic groups of isophthalic acid must be
present in m- position to each other this confirm by the
fact that reserpic acid when heated with acetic anhydride
yields a gamma lactone.

i) Dehydrogenation:-
When methyl reserpate is dehydrogenated
with selenium it yields a hydrocarbon of
molecular formula -
This hydrocarbon is also obtained by
dehydrogenation of Yohimbine with selenium
& was therefore named as Yobyrine.

4. Condensation with aldehydes:-
Yobyrine gives condensation products
suggesting the presence of pyridine ring
with a methylene substitution
adjacent to the nitrogen.
On the basis of above facts following

j) As Yobyrine is formed from reserpic acid it means
that reserpic acid may possesses the following
types of skeleton structures.
k) From the fact 5(g) it follows that one of the methoxyl
group is present in m-position to the NH group of indole
i.e. on C-11 i.e. Ome is at C-11.

Reserpic acid when dehydrogenated yields 11-hydroxy-16-
methyl yobyrine,this may be only formed if –COOH group
is present on C-16
From the step (h) it follows that –COOH & -OH group are in
m-position to each other but –COOH group is present at C-
16 therefore –OH group must be at C-18.

Chemistry:
Reserpine is an indole Alkaloid
Structure:
IUPAC Name:
(3β,16β,17α,18β,20α)-11,17-Dimethoxy-18-[(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)oxy]yohimban-
16-carboxylic acid methyl ester 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl methyl reserpate
Melting point: 262-2700C.
16-Apr-20 Krishna Pharmacy College, Bijnor 28
Identification test
Chemical test:
Freshly fractured surface of the root when treated with
concentrated HNO3 shows red coloured medullary rays.
Reserpine gives a violet colour with vanillin in acetic
acid Rauwolfia serpentina.
Other test for alkaloid:
Dragondrof test
Mayer test
Hagers test
Wagners test
Tannic acid test
16-Apr-20 Krishna Pharmacy College, Bijnor 29
Mode of Action
Reserpine acts by blocking the vasicular monoamine
transporter VMAT, which normally transports free
norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine from the
cytoplasm of the presynaptic nerve into vesicles for
subsequent release into the synaptic cleft. The unprotected
neurotransmitters then metabolized by MAO and therefore
never reach the synapse.
By this mode of action this give mainly the
antihypertensive action and also use in the treatment of
dykynesia mania etc.

Essential hypertension
Mild anxiety
Dyskinesia
Psychosis symptoms
Maintenance dose: 100 to 250 mg (once a day)
Side effects:
Nasal congestion

  • 14. j) As Yobyrine is formed from reserpic acid it means that reserpic acid may possesses the following types of skeleton structures. k) From the fact 5(g) it follows that one of the methoxyl group is present in m-position to the NH group of indole i.e. on C-11 i.e. Ome is at C-11. N N H SKELETON STRUCTURE 16-Apr-20 Krishna Pharmacy College, Bijnor 14
  • 15. Reserpic acid when dehydrogenated yields 11-hydroxy-16- methyl yobyrine,this may be only formed if –COOH group is present on C-16 From the step (h) it follows that –COOH & -OH group are in m-position to each other but –COOH group is present at C- 16 therefore –OH group must be at C-18.

  • 28. Chemistry: Reserpine is an indole Alkaloid Structure: IUPAC Name: (3β,16β,17α,18β,20α)-11,17-Dimethoxy-18-[(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)oxy]yohimban- 16-carboxylic acid methyl ester 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl methyl reserpate Melting point: 262-2700C. 16-Apr-20 Krishna Pharmacy College, Bijnor 28
  • 29. Identification test Chemical test: Freshly fractured surface of the root when treated with concentrated HNO3 shows red coloured medullary rays. Reserpine gives a violet colour with vanillin in acetic acid Rauwolfia serpentina. Other test for alkaloid: Dragondrof test Mayer test Hagers test Wagners test Tannic acid test 16-Apr-20 Krishna Pharmacy College, Bijnor 29
  • 30. Mode of Action Reserpine acts by blocking the vasicular monoamine transporter VMAT, which normally transports free norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine from the cytoplasm of the presynaptic nerve into vesicles for subsequent release into the synaptic cleft. The unprotected neurotransmitters then metabolized by MAO and therefore never reach the synapse. By this mode of action this give mainly the antihypertensive action and also use in the treatment of dykynesia mania etc. 16-Apr-20 Krishna Pharmacy College, Bijnor 30
