Atropine is a naturally occuring tropane alkaloide extracted from deadly nightshade (Atropa beladonna)

It is a competitive antagonist for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor types M1,M2,M3,M4 and M5.

It is classified as an anticholinergic drug (parasympatholytic)

Aspirin is a salycilate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains. Aspirin was first isolated by Felix Hoffmann in 1897. Salycilic acid, the main metabolite of Aspirin, is an integral part of human and animal metabolism. Aspirin has also an antiplatelet effect by inhibiting the production of thomboxane, which under normal circunstances binds platelets molecules together and also block flood flow.

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.

What is the difference between extra strength aspirin and regular aspirin?

Why does atropine effect histamine receptors?

It doesn't atropine only acts on muscarinic receptors (it's a competitive antagonist here for ACh), but histamine acts on different receptors (histamine receptors). There is no direct interaction between atropine and histamine receptors


What is the difference between aspirin to buffered aspirin?

Buffered aspirin contains an additional ingredient, usually calcium carbonate or magnesium oxide, that helps to neutralize stomach acid and reduce irritation to the stomach lining. This makes buffered aspirin less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects such as irritation, ulcers, or bleeding compared to regular aspirin.

What is the chemical difference between atropine and hyoscyamine and scopolamine?

From my understanding there is not much of a difference. Atropine and hyoscyamine are isomers of each other but other than their shape position, they are the same. Scopolamine has a chemical structure that is very similar but a little bit different, thus it is mostly recognized in the body as the same chemical as the former two.

What is the difference between old and new aspirin?

When aspirin gets old, it begins to decompose and you get a vinegar smell. If you smell that, the aspirin is decomposing and acetic acid is being released. Aspirin should be used before the decomposition occurs. It will still work, because the salicylic acid that does the work is still there. It can be corrosive to the stomach and that's why they combine it with a process that produces acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). When decomposition occurs, you get salicylic acid and acetic acid.
