Methylecgonine cinnamate is a natural tropane alkaloid found within the coca plant. [1] Its more common name, cinnamoylcocaine , reflects its close structural similarity to cocaine . It is pharmacologically inactive, [ 2 ] but some studies funded by anti-drug agencies imply that it is active when smoked.
Methylecgonine, also known as ecgonine methyl ester is a prominent tropane alkaloid found in coca leaves. [1] It is metabolite of cocaine, [2] and may be used as a precursor for it. It also occurs as minor alkaloid in roots of many Datura species such as Datura stramonium [3] and Datura innoxia. [4]
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 ...
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.
Animal studies show evidence that inhibiting the SERT might reduce cocaine intake. [9] Animal studies on monkeys and rats have tried to assess the self-administration propensity of phenyltropane analogs alongside cocaine. Frequently the analogs are administered prior to the start of a session to see if they can suppress cocaine lever responding.
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.
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 ).
