Pilocarpine is alkaloid isolated from the shrub
Pilocarpus species. It comprises imidazole ring and - lactone rings in its structure. It has cholinergic potential and it stimulates the parasympathetic system. Pilocarpine is also effective for treating glaucoma. It stimulates ciliary muscle contraction by binding to muscarinic M3 receptors. It is effective in treating corneal dryness in Sjogrens syndrome. It is a secretagogue, which improves salivary secretions in Xerostomia or a dry mouth condition in Sjogrens syndrome patients and in radiotherapy patients with head and neck carcinoma.
Nonselective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist; used to produce an experimental model of epilepsy.
