Arecoline hydrobromide is a naturally brain-penetrant and orally active psychoactive alkaloid. It acts as a partial agonist of nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, exhibiting properties such as stimulation, alertness, anxiolysis, and anti-parasitic effects. It can also induce oxidative stress. This compound is for research use only.
