Oxotremorine is a drug that acts as a selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist.^[1]

Oxotremorine produces ataxia, tremor and spasticity, similar to those symptoms seen in Parkinsonism, and has thus become a research tool in experimental studies aimed at determining more effective anti-Parkinsonian drugs.^[2]

Oxotremorine also produces antipsychotic-like effects.^[3]
