Benzofuro(4,3,2-efg)(2)benzazocin-6-ol, 1,2,3,4,6,7,7a,11c-octahydro-9-methoxy-2-methyl-, Hydrobromide

[The hydrobromide salt form of galantamine, a tertiary alkaloid extracted from the bulbs of daffodil. Galantamine hydrobromide competitively and reversibly inhibits acetylcholinesterase, thereby increasing the concentration and enhancing the action of acetylcholine. Galantamine hydrobromide is used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The effect may lessen as the disease progresses due to fewer cholinergic neurons remaining functionally intact.
