Description
Physostigmine, a reversible inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, is crucial for enhancing cholinergic transmission by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine. This mechanism underpins its use in managing disorders characterized by reduced neurotransmitter activity, such as glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, and certain types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Our Physostigmine is extracted and purified using state-of-the-art techniques, delivering a product of exceptional quality and reliability.
