Tropine is a derivative of tropane containing a hydroxyl group at the third carbon. It is also called 3-tropanol.[4] It is a poisonous white hygroscopic crystalline powder.[3] It is a heterocyclic alcohol and an amine.[3]

Tropine is a central building block of many chemicals active in the nervous system, including tropane alkaloids. Some of these compounds, such as long-acting muscarinic antagonists are used as medicines because of these effects.[5]

Occurrence[edit]

Tropine is a natural product found in the plants of deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna) and devil's trumpet (Datura stramonium).[1]

Chemistry[edit]

Synthesis[edit]

It can be prepared by hydrolysis of atropine[6] or other solanaceous alkaloids.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
