Research Abstract

Indole alkaloids, a class of plant-derived nitrogen-containing compounds, have emerged as promising candidates for osteoporosis treatment. Their favorable biocompatibility profile demonstrated efficacy in preclinical models, and low reported toxicity make them attractive alternatives to existing therapies. This review focuses on the therapeutic potential of specific indole alkaloids, including vindoline, rutaecarpine, harmine, and its derivatives, in promoting bone health and managing osteoporosis.
