Used in research for its cholinergic properties, particularly in studies related to the central nervous system. Acts as a muscarinic receptor agonist, making it valuable in neuroscience for modeling cholinergic activity and investigating cognitive functions such as memory and learning. Also employed in studies on addiction and substance dependence due to its psychoactive effects. Occasionally used in veterinary medicine as a parasiticide to expel intestinal worms in animals. Its ability to stimulate salivation and gastrointestinal motility has led to limited use in treating dry mouth and digestive disorders in experimental settings.
