  Banisterine monohydrate (CAS NO.442-51-3) is a CNS stimulant isolated from seeds of Peganum harmala L. Zygophyllaceae.As an MAO inhibitor, harmine inhibits the breakdown of monoamines by enzymes called monoamine oxidases.Harmine is also a useful fluorescent pH indicator. As the pH of its local environment increases, the fluorescence emission of harmine decreases.

Poison by intravenous and subcutaneous routes. Human systemic effects by intramuscular route: sleep disturbance, tremors, nausea. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NO_x.Safety information of Banisterine monohydrate (CAS NO.442-51-3):

 Harmine is a fluorescent harmala alkaloid belonging to the beta-carboline family of compounds. It occurs in a number of different plants, most notably the Middle Eastern plant harmal or Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) and the South American vine Banisteriopsis caapi ('yage', 'ayahuasca'). Harmine is a reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAO inhibitor or MAOI) and CNS stimulant. It inhibits MAO-A but has no effect on MAO-B.
