Tabernanthalog (TBG; developmental code name DLX-007) is a non-selective serotonin receptor modulator and non-psychedelic psychoplastogen of the ibogalog group related to the iboga alkaloid tabernanthine but with a simplified chemical structure.[1][2] It was developed by David E. Olson and colleagues at the University of California, Davis.[2] The drug is being developed by Delix Therapeutics as a potential pharmaceutical drug for treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders.[3][4]
