Oxotremorine is a cholinomimetic that acts as a non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist.

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.
