Arecoline is a natural alkaloid and is the subject of research in various fields of biochemistry and neurobiology due to its activity as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. The compound′s ability to bind to and activate these receptors makes it a useful tool for studying the cholinergic system, which is involved in a wide range of physiological processes including memory, cognition, and muscle contraction. Researchers investigate the effects of arecoline on neurotransmission, exploring its potential to modulate synaptic plasticity and neural circuitry. Additionally, the compound is used in studies that aim to understand the effects of cholinergic stimulation on various organ systems. In agricultural research, arecoline′s impact on the nervous system of parasites is of interest.
