New Anesthetic Yohimbine From West African Tree
Consul Guenther reports yohimbine derived from a West African yohimbe tree. It crystallizes as white needles, soluble in alcohol ether and chloroform, poorly in water. Hypodermic use yields about two hours of local anesthesia, eye drops cause corneal insensibility with transient pupil effects. Magnani notes increased ocular blood flow, potential for chronic eye diseases, and praises longer anesthesia than tropocaine and safety. American ophthalmologists report self experiments with varying strengths.
