Arecoline: An alkaloid obtained from the betel nut (Areca catechu), fruit of a palm tree. It is an agonist at both muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It is used in the form of various salts as a ganglionic stimulant, a parasympathomimetic, and a vermifuge, especially in veterinary practice. It has been used as a euphoriant in the Pacific Islands.
arecoline : A tetrahydropyridine that is 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine with a methyl group at position 1, and a methoxycarbonyl group at position 3. An alkaloid found in the areca nut, it acts as an agonist of muscarinic acetylcholine.

Mouth Diseases: Diseases involving the MOUTH.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Fibroblasts cultured in vitro from normal buccal tissue and from tissue from oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) associated with betel-nut chewing showed no significant difference in their rates of proliferation in culture, nor in the rate at which they hydrolysed the betel nut alkaloid arecoline to arecaidine."3.67An in-vitro comparison of human fibroblasts from normal and oral submucous fibrosis tissue. ( Canniff, JP; Harvey, W; Meghji, S; Scutt, A, 1987)
