pharmacological action | arecoline lacks the typical parasympathetic action of arecoline, can also affect the behavior of mice, and can reduce the autonomous activity and inquiry behavior of mice. Studies have shown that arectinine and desmethylarectinine have the activity of C- aminobutyric acid (GABA) reuptake inhibitor on rat brain slices. Another study used cat spinal cord slices to show that arecoline can enhance the inhibitory activity of GAGB and B- alanine, while desmethylarecoline can increase the inhibitory activity of GAGB without affecting the activity of glycine. This study also found that intravenous injection of arecoline has no effect on the activity of GAGB, which indicates that arecoline itself may not be able to act through the blood-brain barrier, and the effect of arecoline on the central nervous system may be through The transmitter system other than GAGB works. |
determination of content | determination of arecoline and arecoline in areca nut by high performance liquid chromatography. Using HPLC method, the chromatographic column is a NucleosilSA cation exchange chromatographic column (4.6mm × 250mm,5 μm), the mobile phase is methanol-water-phosphoric acid (60 ∶ 40 ∶ 0.3, the ammonia test solution is adjusted to pH3.8), the flow rate is 1.0mL • min-1, the detection wavelength is 212nm, and the column temperature is 30 ℃. Results: Arecoline and arecoline were well separated from other components. Arecoline had a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 2.0232.30 μg • mL-1 (R2 = 0.9995), the average recovery rate was 97.2%,RSD was 2.4%(n = 9); Arecoline had a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 0.8513.55 μg • mL-1 (R2 = 0.9993), and the average recovery rate was 103.9%,RSD is 2.6%(n = 9). Conclusion: The established method is specific, accurate and reproducible, and can be used for the determination of arecoline and arecoline in areca catechu. |
biological activity | Arecaidine, a pyridine alkaloid, is an effective GABA absorption inhibitor. Arecaidine is a substrate for H-coupled amino acid transporter 1 (PAT1,SLC36A1), which competitively inhibits L-proline uptake. |
