Vincamine is a vasodilator and anti-ischemic that increases blood flow to the brain. Vincamine is known primarily as a vasodilator and is in general use as a treatment for dementia.

Vincamine is produced through two chemical reactions beginning with the catalytic reduction of tabersonine, an alkaloid extract of Voacanga seeds. The resulting product, vincadiformine is oxidized forming vincamine.

1. It has vasodilating, blood thinning, and memory-enhancing actions.

2. It acts as a cerebral stimulant and vasodilator.

3. It is used to treat arteriosclerosis.
