HIDE SMILES / InChI
Eseridine (Geneserine) has been known for many years as an anticholinergic agent and used in therapy as a gastrointestinal antispastic. Eseridine salicylate is an inhibitor of cholinesterase activity that has been given by mouth in preparations for dyspepsia and other gastric disorders. It has also been studied for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Eseridine was first discovered by Eber in 1888 and first obtained in crystal form by Behringer. Merck has stated that eseridine and geneserine, first obtained by Polonovski and Nitzberg in 1915, are identical.
