Duboisia

Duboisia is a genus of flowering plants within the Solanaceae family. In various traditional contexts, the plant has been utilized for both stimulant and depressant effects. Scientific research has identified thirty-one known tropane alkaloids within the genus, including two new granatane alkaloids confirmed in Duboisia myoporoides. While genetic and morphological studies have advanced the understanding of these species, clinical evidence regarding specific therapeutic outcomes is limited; for instance, one study involving intravenous HBB showed no significant difference in pain reduction compared to a placebo in patients with acute gastroenteritis. No major safety issues or notable drug interactions have been recorded in the available data.
