Apoatropine (atropatropine) is a member of class oftropane alkaloids. Chemically, it is anester formed fromtropine andatropic acid. Apoatropine can be found in plants of familySolanaceae. It is a bitter crystalline alkaloid. Examples of related tropane alkaloids includeatropine,hyoscyamine, andhyoscine. Though apoatropine is found in various plants, it can also be prepared by thedehydration of atropine usingnitric acid . Apoatropine is used as a pigment.[citation needed]
It is said to be 20 times more toxic thanatropine.[3]
