Physostigmine helps prolong the activity of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates gastric secretion, contracts smooth muscles, and dilates blood vessels.
This crystalline alkaloid (C15H21N3O2) is used in medicines as a miotic for the treatment of glaucoma, a cholinergic agent, and to enhance memory in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
