Does atropine block only nicotinic receptors?
Atropine does not only block nicotinic receptors but also acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors
Who and how was atropine discovered?
Atropine was discovered by German chemist Friedrich Ferdinand Runge in 1831. He isolated atropine from the deadly nightshade plant (Atropa belladonna). Atropine is known for its anticholinergic properties and is used in medicine to dilate pupils and treat certain medical conditions.
Is atropine obtained from plants?
Yes, atropine is obtained from plants such as Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna) and Jimsonweed (Datura stramonium). These plants contain alkaloids that are extracted to produce atropine, which is commonly used as a medication to treat a variety of conditions.
Is atropine an antidote for cyanide?
No, atropine is not an antidote for cyanide poisoning. The primary antidotes for cyanide include hydroxocobalamin and sodium thiosulfate. Atropine is an anticholinergic medication used to treat bradycardia and certain types of poisoning, but it does not counteract the effects of cyanide.
What is the effect of atropine plus acetylcholine on frog heart?
ACh will decrease heart rate/contractile strength, etc. Atropine is a muscarinic ACh receptor (mAChR) antagonist, so blocks the effects of ACh. Adding both together will result in a weak action of ACh that tails off as all the mAChRs become blocked by Atropine.

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.
Is atropine dilation of the puil permanent after discontinuance of atropine?
No, the dilation of the pupil caused by atropine is not permanent. Atropine blocks the action of acetylcholine on the iris sphincter muscle, leading to dilation (mydriasis). Once atropine is discontinued, the effects typically wear off within several days as the drug is metabolized and eliminated from the body, allowing normal pupil function to return.
