  • Applications

    Yohimbine Hydrochloride (CAS 65-19-0) is commonly used in pharmaceutical research and development as a tool compound to study alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonism, frequently evaluated in receptor-binding assays. It also serves as a synthetic intermediate for the preparation of related indole alkaloid derivatives. In analytical laboratories, it is used as a reference standard for quantitative methods and quality control (e.g., LC–MS, HPLC). As the hydrochloride salt, it can function as a laboratory reagent to support in vitro pharmacology assays and formulation-related testing by improving aqueous solubility. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
