Description
Hyoscine hydrobromide, also known as scopolamine ,hyoscine, levo-duboisine, or burundanga,and sold as Scopoderm, is a tropane alkaloid drug with muscarinic antagonist effects. It is among the secondary metabolites of plants from Solanaceae (nightshade) family of plants, such as henbane, jimson weed, angel's trumpets, and corkwood .Scopolamine exerts its effects by acting as a competitive antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors; it is thus classified as an anticholinergic, antimuscarinic drug. Although it is usually referred to as a nonspecific antagonist,there is indirect evidence for m1-receptor subtype specificity.
Application
Scopolamine has a number of uses in medicine, where it is used to treat.
1)Postoperative nausea and vomiting and sea sickness, leading to its use by scuba divers.
