Despite potentially deleterious effects, recent pharmacological research has suggested that the biological activities of this compound may offer opportunities for developing treatments related to anxiety, cancer, and other conditions, with ongoing research including attempts to identify safer derivatives and analogs to make use of the compound's beneficial effects.<ref name = LiuYuEtal13>{{cite journal | authors = Liu M; Huang HH; Yang J; Su YP; Lin HW; Lin LQ; Liao WJ & Yu CX | year=2013| title = The Active Alkaloids of Gelsemium elegans Benth. are Potent Anxiolytics | journal = Psychopharmacology (Berl) | volume = 225 | issue = 4; February | pages = 839-851 | doi = 10.1007/s00213-012-2867-x | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23052566 | access-date = February 19, 2017 }}</ref>

As noted in recent review, koumine is found in, and can be isolated from, the subtropical to tropical flowering plant genus '']'', family ], which as of 2014 included five species, where ''G. elegans'' Benth is native to China and East Asia, and ''G. sempervirens'' Ait., the type species, is native to the Americas.<ref name = ZhangWang14r>{{cite journal | authors = Zhang, Jing-Yang & Wang, Yong X. | year=2014| title = Gelsemium Analgesia and the Spinal Glycine Receptor/Allopregnanolone Pathway | journal = Fitoterapia | volume = 100 | issue = C; November | pages = 35-43 | doi = 10.1016/j.fitote.2014.11.002 | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25447163 | access-date = February 18, 2017 }}</ref> As these authors note:{{quote|Approximately 120 alkaloids have been isolated and identified from Gelsemium, with the predominant indole alkaloids including gelsemine, koumine….

Gelsemium extract and its active alkaloids serve a variety of biological functions, including neurobiological, immunosuppressive and antitumor effects, and have traditionally been used to treat pain, neuralgia, anxiety, insomnia, asthma, respiratory ailments and cancers… In contrast to morphine, when administered intrathecally and systemically, koumine, gelsemine and gelsenicine have marked antinociception in inflammatory, neuropathic and bone cancer pains without inducing antinociceptive tolerance. Gelsemium and its active alkaloids may produce antinociception by activating the spinal α3 glycine/allopregnanolone pathway… support the clinical use of Gelsemium and suggest that its active alkaloids may be developed to treat intractable and other types of pain, preferably after chemical modification.<ref name = ZhangWang14r/>}}

'''''Can you reinstate the article, using this content, so that I can begin supporting the article? In doing so, can you place the original text somewhere (in Talk, or hidden in the main article space), so I can see it?''''' You are better positioned, historically and technically, to make this change. I am a subject matter expert, much more than a technical expert at WP.</u> Note, 4 of the 5 citations given above are secondary sources, so at present, the article is better sourced per WP:VERIFY than most alkaloid articles, and the tens of pages at these reviews devoted to this specific, unique molecule—recall, in chemistry, one moved bond or added atom makes a world of difference, in patents and in practice—as well as the 37 articles with this compound in the title or abstract make clear that it is sufficiently notable. It may replace its earlier studied relative, gelsemine, in practical importance, soon.

ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:13, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
