This compound is primarily utilized in biochemical research as a cholinergic agent. It acts as a selective agonist for muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, making it valuable in studies focused on understanding the role of these receptors in the nervous system. It is also employed in pharmacological experiments to investigate the effects of cholinergic stimulation on various physiological processes, such as muscle contraction, glandular secretion, and neural signaling. Additionally, it serves as a tool compound in the development of therapeutic agents targeting muscarinic receptor-related disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases and smooth muscle dysfunction. Its specificity and potency make it a useful reagent in both in vitro and in vivo studies.
