WHAT DOES ATROPINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

atropine

Atropine

Atropine is a naturally occurring tropane alkaloid extracted from deadly nightshade, Jimson weed, mandrake and other plants of the family Solanaceae. It is a secondary metabolite of these plants and serves as a drug with a wide variety of effects. In general, atropine counters the "rest and digest" activity of glands regulated by the parasympathetic nervous system. This occurs because atropine is a competitive antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Atropine dilates the pupils, increases heart rate, and reduces salivation and other secretions. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.

Definition of atropine in the English dictionary

The definition of atropine in the dictionary is a poisonous alkaloid obtained from deadly nightshade, having an inhibitory action on the autonomic nervous system. It is used medicinally in pre-anaesthetic medication, to speed a slow heart rate, and as an emergency first-aid counter to exposure to chemical warfare nerve agents. Formula: C17H23NO3.
