[Pharmacological action] Cholenaic acid and acetylcholine can be obtained from the extract of persimmon lacquer, as well as some amino acid-like substances with unknown properties and similar structures to choline. It can lower rabbit blood pressure, inhibit isolated frog hearts, and excite guinea pig intestines. These effects can be blocked by atropine: on leech dorsal muscle specimens, its effect intensity is equivalent to 3/4 of acetylcholine.
