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

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

Chemistry

Synthesis

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