Trichilia catigua is a flowering plant species in the genus Trichilia.

The species is used in folk medicine and shamanism in the aphrodisiac and stimulant catuaba. Cinchonain-Ib is a flavonolignan found in the bark of T. catigua.^[1] Catuaba from Trichilia catigua was found to increase the release of Serotonin as well as Dopamine in rats.^[2] Additionally, Trichilia catigua was shown to have neuroprotective effects in rats.^[3]
