Atropine was first found in the belladonna plant back in 1831. This plant, and others in the nightshade family, naturally produce atropine. Nowadays, we also make it in labs to ensure we have enough for medical use.

Different between atropine and hyoscyamine?

There is not much difference between them. Atropine and Hysocyamine are isomers of each other. Atropine is (+/-) Hyoscyamine, the tropic acid ester of tropine. The naturally occurring alkaloid is (-) Hyocyamine. Thus it can be said that Hyoscyamine is a racemic form of Atropine. In other words, Atropine is a racemic variety of tropine tropate, hysocyamine being the levorotatory enantiomorph of tropine tropate.
