Chemical compound

Ungeremine is a betaine-type alkaloid isolated from Nerine bowdenii^[1] and related plants such as Pancratium maritimum.^[2] Pharmacologically, it is of interest as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and accordingly as possibly relevant to Alzheimer's disease.^[3] It also has been investigated as a bactericide.^[2]
