HyoscyamineAtropaScopolamineSOLANACEAE

Hyoscyamine3

• The pharmacologically active ingredients of Atropa species include atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine, all tropane alkaloids having anticholinergic, deliriant, antispasmodic and mydriatic properties. (wikipedia.org)
• Hyoscyamine is the 3(S)-endo isomer of atropine. (lookformedical.com)
• The toxic berry of Atropa belladonna which contains the tropane deliriants scopolamine , atropine , and hyoscyamine . (wikipedia.org)

Atropa5

• 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)
• Atropa belladonna ssp. (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)

Scopolamine3

• 4. Pretreatment (30 min) with the non-selective muscarinic antagonists scopolamine (0.1, 0.3 or 1 mg kg(-1), i.p.) and atropine (0.3, 1 or 3 mg kg(-1), s.c.) but not methylatropine (1, 3 or 10 mg kg(-1), s.c) significantly inhibited stretching induced by Ro 04-6790 (30 mg kg(-1), i.p.). 5. (lookformedical.com)
• Common examples of deliriants include plants of the genera Datura and Brugmansia (both containing scopolamine ) as well as higher than recommended dosages of diphenhydramine ( Benadryl ). (wikipedia.org)
• The altered state of consciousness produced by common or 'classical' deliriant substances such as scopolamine , atropine and diphenhydramine is primarily mediated through the drug compounds' competitive antagonism of the peripheral and central muscarinic acetylcholine receptors . (wikipedia.org)

SOLANACEAE1

• [2] [3] A number of plant deliriants such as that of the Solanaceae family , particularly in the Americas have been used by some indigenous cultures to reach delirious and altered states for traditions or rituals, such as rites of passage, divination or communicating with the ancestors .
