The pharmacologically active ingredients of Atropa species include atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, all tropane alkaloids having anticholinergic, deliriant, antispasmodic and mydriatic properties. (wikipedia.org)
The tropane alkaloidsatropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine are highly anticholinergic compounds found in a number of plants. (medscape.com)
in the factory isolation of the alkaloid from plants, it is traditionally obtained its inactive racemate - atropine in the form of a salt - Atropini sulfas. (medprep.info)
Hyoscyamine should not be confused with hyoscine, an older alternate name for the related nightshade-derived anticholinergic scopolamine . (curecrowd.com)
Atropa8
Atropa is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, Solanaceae: tall, calcicole, herbaceous perennials (rhizomatous hemicryptophytes), bearing large leaves and glossy berries particularly dangerous to children, due to their combination of an attractive, cherry-like appearance with a high toxicity. (wikipedia.org)
The best-known member of the genus Atropa is deadly nightshade (A. belladonna) - the poisonous plant par excellence in the minds of many. (wikipedia.org)
Atropa belladonna L. - Belladonna/deadly nightshade (Europe, Western Asia and North Africa). (wikipedia.org)
It will be seen from the above that there is an overlap in the respective distributions of A. acuminata, A. komarovii and A. pallidiflora in the lush Hyrcanian forests of Northern Iran, and it is possible that some or all of these species may yet be subsumed in the concept Atropa belladonna. (wikipedia.org)
The single species Pauia belladonna Deb and Dutta is described as bearing a marked similarity to Atropa acuminata Royle ex Lindl. (wikipedia.org)
Although most tropane alkaloids cause an anticholinergic syndrome, a case report indicates that the tropane alkaloid-containing medicinal herb Erycibe henri Prain ("Ting Kung Teng") contains a tropane alkaloid that may cause a cholinergic syndrome, as well as kidney, liver, and erythrocyte toxicity. (medscape.com)
[ 14 ] This is considered atypical for the tropane alkaloids, which are predominantly strongly anticholinergic. (medscape.com)
Toxicity from plants containing tropane alkaloids manifests as classic anticholinergic poisoning. (medscape.com)
Mandrake1
Mandrake is a perennial that belongs to the Solanee family, which is known as the nightshade family. (enchantedaromatics.com)
Datura2
Many cultures worldwide add plants with tropane alkaloids (particularly Datura species) to alcoholic beverages to increase intoxication. (medscape.com)

A.belladonna itself is an accepted species. (wikipedia.org)
A. belladonna itself (including its variety caucasica) is also present in the Hyrcanian forests and vol. 100 of Flora Iranica includes a useful key with which to distinguish the four species occurring in northern Iran. (wikipedia.org)
The best known species are A. belladonna L. and A. caucasica Kreyer. (medprep.info)
In the same species, the amount of alkaloids is different in different organs of the plant and, moreover, varies depending on the phase of vegetation and environmental conditions. (medprep.info)
Derivatives2
The plant contains alkaloids with fused pyrrolidine and piperidine rings (derivatives of tropine, scopine and ecgonine). (medprep.info)
Other tropane derivatives, found in the same plants in small quantities, as well as liquid and volatile pyridine derivatives, often associated with tropane alkaloids, are of no practical importance. (medprep.info)
Compounds3
[ 1 ] The alkaloids represent a very diverse group of medically significant compounds that include well-known drugs such as the opiates. (medscape.com)
Alkaloids are called natural nitrogen-containing compounds of the main character, formed in plants. (medprep.info)
Groups of proteinogenic amines (for example, tyramine) and betaines (stakhidrin, trigonelline, etc.) adjoin the alkaloids, which are considered as transitional compounds from the simplest nitrogen-containing compounds (methylamine, trimethylamines, etc.) to the alkaloids proper. (medprep.info)
Include1
A subgroup of the alkaloids is the alkaloid amines, which include three major pharmacologic groups: the hallucinogenic alkaloid amines, the stimulant alkaloid amines, and the tropane alkaloids (also called the belladonna alkaloids or bicyclic alkaloids). (medscape.com)
Group1
Of natural pharmacologically active substances, alkaloids are the main group from which modern medicine draws the largest number of highly effective drugs. (medprep.info)
Plant1
Alkaloids are plant metabolites that have a nitrogen-containing chemical ring structure, alkali-like chemical reactivity, and pharmacologic activity. (medscape.com)
Treat1
Chinese herbal medicines containing tropane alkaloids have been used to treat asthma, chronic bronchitis, pain, and flu symptoms. (medscape.com)

Anticholinergic syndrome2
Although most tropane alkaloids cause an anticholinergic syndrome, a case report indicates that the tropane alkaloid-containing medicinal herb Erycibe henri Prain ("Ting Kung Teng") contains a tropane alkaloid that may cause a cholinergic syndrome, as well as kidney, liver, and erythrocyte toxicity. (medscape.com)
Intentional abuse with hallucinogenic plants (eg, Datura stramonium [jimson weed]) and mushrooms can cause anticholinergic syndrome due to the presence of anticholinergic tropane alkaloids . (medscape.com)
