Arecoline, a naturally occurring psychoactive alkaloid, is a partial agonist ofnicotinicandmuscarinic acetylcholine receptor. Arecoline exhibits stimulation, alertness, anxiolysis and anti-parasitic effects. Arecoline also can induce oxidative stress^[1][2][3][4].

nAChR/mAChR^[3]

Arecoline induces the generation of reactive oxygen species and cell cycle arrest at the G1/G0 phase in HaCaT cells without affecting the expression of p21/Cip1. Arecoline-induced epithelial cell death at higher concentrations is caused by oxidative trauma without eliciting apoptosis. Arecoline upregulates the expression of the following stress-responsive genes: hemeoxygenase-1; ferritin light chain; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; glutamatecysteine ligase catalytic subunit; and glutathione reductase^[1].
