Medicinal properties

edit

Aceclidine decreases intraocular pressure. It acts as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist.[1]

Side effects of aceclidine include increased salivation and bradycardia (in excessive doses).

Chemistry

edit

Aceclidine is an organic compound that is structurally related to quinuclidine. As such its alternative name is 3-acetoxyquinuclidine. Its protonated derivative has a pKa of 9.3.[2]
