Its sole source of supply was supposed to be from the roots of the plant, rauwolfia serpentina, which was believed to grow only in India, and thus India seemed to hold all the cards. Six months ago it clamped an embargo on the export of rauwolfia serpentina roots, which meant that when stockpiles were exhausted reserpine could only be extracted from the roots in India. But an American pharmaceutical house now is extracting reserpine on a commercial scale from Rauwolfia heterrophylia which is a kind of botanical first cousin of the Indian plant and grows abundantly in Central America, from Mexico southward. Furthermore, chemists now are close enough to understanding the chemical make-up of rauwolfia that it shouldn't take long before they are making it themselves in laboratories, the United Press learned. Reserpine was isolated from the Central American rauwolfia first in Brazil. Dr. Francis A. Hochstein and his associates in the Charles Pfizer research laboratories duplicated that feat and put it on a commerical basis; they also found that rauwolfia heterophyila contains six other basic chemical compounds which are in rauwolfia serpentine plus a brand new one. What these other rauwolfia compounds do to and for the human body is not known precisely, but since reserpine has such dramatic effects--which are not fully understood--the possibility is plain that the related compounds are laden with potencies, too. Reserpine is a calmer-downer--a "tranquillizer." It has come into widespread use by physicians for some varities of high blood pressure, and it si exciting the world of psychiatry by its calming effects on some kinds of mental patients. Reserpine is its generic or common name. Various pharmaceutical houses offer it to physicians under various trade names. =========== Social Security Death Index, Name Francis A.
