Chemical structure of tropane which forms the core of tropane alkaloids Chemical structure and phylogeny of tropane alkaloids. Displayed are 3 chemical compounds that occur as natural products in 5 plant species. Tropane alkaloids are a class of bicyclic [3.2.1] alkaloids and secondary metabolites that contain a tropane ring in their chemical ...
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.
Tropane is a nitrogenous bicyclic organic compound. It is mainly known for the other alkaloids derived from it, which include atropine and cocaine , among others. Tropane alkaloids occur in plants of the families Erythroxylaceae (including coca ) and Solanaceae (including mandrake , henbane , deadly nightshade , datura , potato , tomato ).
Cocaine — a tropane alkaloid — is a weakly alkaline compound, and can therefore combine with acidic compounds to form salts. The hydrochloride (HCl) salt of cocaine is by far the most commonly encountered, although the sulfate (SO 4 2− ) and the nitrate (NO 3 − ) salts are occasionally seen.
The toxic berry of Atropa belladonna which contains the tropane deliriants scopolamine, atropine, and hyoscyamine.. Deliriants are a subclass of hallucinogen.The term was coined in the early 1980s to distinguish these drugs from psychedelics such as LSD and dissociatives such as ketamine, due to their primary effect of causing delirium, as opposed to the more lucid (i.e. rational thought is ...
Apoatropine (atropatropine) is a member of class of tropane alkaloids. Chemically, it is an ester formed from tropine and atropic acid. Apoatropine can be found in plants of family Solanaceae. It is a bitter crystalline alkaloid. Examples of related tropane alkaloids include atropine, hyoscyamine, and hyoscine.
Of the approximately 200 members in the genus Erythroxylum, most species contain the central nervous system stimulant tropane alkaloid, known more commonly as cocaine.Because the plant is endemic ...
Ecgonine (tropane derivative) is a tropane alkaloid found naturally in coca leaves. It has a close structural relation to cocaine: it is both a metabolite and a precursor, and as such, it is a controlled substance in many jurisdictions, as are some substances which can be used as precursors to ecgonine itself.
