Guvacine is an hydrogenated pyridine alkaloid found in areca nuts.^[1] It is the N-demethylated derivativeofarecaidine and the product of ester hydrolysisofguvacoline, both of which are also found in areca nuts as well. It is also an inhibitor of gamma-aminobutyric acid uptake. Lime is said to hydrolyse guvacoline to guvacine.^[2]
