Tabernanthalog is a novel water-soluble, non-toxic azepinoindole[1] analog of the psychoactive drug ibogaine first synthesized by Professor David E. Olson at UC Davis.[2]

In rodents, it was found to promote structural neural plasticity, reduce drug seeking behavior, and produce antidepressant like effects.[2][3] Due to the rapidly-induced and enduring neuroplasticity, Tabernanthalog is a member of the class of compounds known as non-hallucinogenic psychoplastogens.[2] This compound, as well as related compounds, are licensed by Delix Therapeutics and are being developed as potential medicines for neuropsychiatric disorders.[4]
