(1S,12S,14R)-9-methoxy-4-methyl-11-oxa-4-azatetracyclo[8.6.1.01,12.06,17]heptadeca-6(17),7,9,15-tetraen-14-ol
Galantamine is an alkaloid that acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and improves cholinergic neurotransmission. It is primarily used for the treatment of cognitive impairments in Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, it modulates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which may promote neuroprotective effects. The substance has a moderate risk profile, particularly in cases of overdose or interactions.
