• Description: Pilocarpine nitrate is a cholinergic alkaloid, which is a natural product extracted from the leaves of the Pilocarpus plant, primarily Pilocarpus jaborandi. It functions as a muscarinic receptor agonist, primarily targeting the M3 receptors. This action stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to an increase in glandular secretions, including saliva and sweat, and contractions of the smooth muscles, particularly in the eye.
