Arecoline
Arecoline is a naturally occurring alkaloid from the Areca palm that primarily acts as a muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. It possesses stimulating and mildly psychoactive effects, which are mainly attributed to cholinergic mechanisms. Arecoline is traditionally used in betel chewing and can be addictive as well as promote health risks such as oral cancer. The substance exhibits a complex pharmacological effect with potential neurotoxic effects with chronic use.
