Y (what is this?) (verify)Aceclidine (Glaucostat, Glaunorm, Glaudin) is a parasympathomimetic miotic agent used in the treatment of narrow angle glaucoma.
Medicinal properties
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
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]
