General description

Atropine is isolated from Atropa belladonna, Datura stramonium and Mandragora officinarum. It is a tertiary amine, which acts as a cholinergic receptor antagonist.

Application

Atropine sulfate salt hydrate has been used:
  • to assay specific binding of high-affinity 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate-3H ([3H]QNB) to the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR)
  • to block the recovery phase of the aldicarb (Ald) response
  • as an analyte for liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
  • as a mAChR antagonist to block acetylcholine receptor

Biochem/physiol Actions

Competitive nonselective antagonist at central and peripheral muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
