The mostly widely used alkaloid from Atropa belladonnaplants is atropine, which is a tropane alkaloid.
Some of its uses include:
- Antidote to the toxic effects of cholinesterase inhibitors since it is a known anticholinergic, and therefore, prevents the toxic effects that can result due to accumulation of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junctions and the parasympathetic nervous system.
- Sometimes used by optometrists and opthalmologists as a cycloplegic, which paralyzes the accommodation reflex and thus induces mydriasis (pupil dilation) during eye examination.
