• Description: Areca catechu L. (Bin Lang), a palm plant native to Malaysia, is mainly distributed in tropical regions of Asia and the Americas. Arecoline is extracted from dry mature seeds of areca. The mature seeds of areca are 3–5 cm in diameter, with fibrous peel and a seed, namely, areca nut. The endosperm of areca nut is hard, with grayish-brown spots. Areca nut is harvested from August to November every year before the fruit is fully mature. The seeds are peeled, boiled, and cut into thin slices. The dried slices are brown or black, and it is an important medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. Areca nut is the raw materials of catechu. Areca nut was used as anthelmintics with arecoline as the main alkaloid in it.
• Physical properties: Appearance: oily liquid. Solubility: mixed with water, ethanol, or ether in any ratio, soluble in chloroform. Density: 1.059?g/cm3 . Boiling point (760?mmHg): 209?°C. Flash point: 81.1?°C. Vapor pressure (25?°C): 0.208?mmHg. Arecoline can be synthesized to salts with organic acids. Arecoline hydrobromide, arecoline acetarsol, and arecoline p-antimony carboxybenzoic acid are commonly used.
• Uses: A cholinergic alkaloid from seeds of the betel nut palm Areca catechu. Anthelmintic (Cestodes); cathartic Arecoline has shown regulatory properties of controlling plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 expression in human buccal mucosa fibroblasts.
• Indications: This product has no source standard. Tablets: anthelmintics, less used now. Eye drops: cholinergic drugs for glaucoma treatment.
• Clinical Use: Arecoline is of historical interest, because its structure, like those of many other early medicinal agents, was determined and confirmed by a 19th-century German pharmacist, E. Jahns. Xanomeline may be viewed as a nonclassical bio-isostere of the ester moiety of arecoline. It is a muscarinic M1/M4 agonist that is showing promise in clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Although it is not tolerated at orally effective doses, transdermal delivery systems are showing promise.

Radical fluoroarylation in radiochemical synthesis

10.1016/j.tetlet.2007.12.128

The research focuses on the radical [18F]fluoroarylation of various olefins using 4-[18F]fluorobenzenediazonium ions, offering a novel approach to synthesize radiopharmaceuticals containing a deactivated, 4-[18F]fluoro substituted phenyl group. The study demonstrates the methodology's suitability for the synthesis of 18F-labeled stilbenes, with stilbene 7 being synthesized within 80 minutes with a 30–45% overall radiochemical yield starting from [18F]fluoride. The experiments involved reacting 4-fluorobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate with substrates such as arecoline, ecgonidine methylate, and styrenes under optimized conditions using titanium(III)-chloride in dilute hydrochloric acid as a reductant. The analyses included determining radiochemical yields through reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with gradient elution and UV detection at 214 nm, as well as assessing diastereoselectivity in the synthesized products.
