Tropine is a derivative of tropane containing a hydroxyl group at the third carbon. It is also called 3-tropanol.[1]
Tropine is a central building block of many chemicals active in the nervous system, including tropane alkaloids. Some of these compounds, such as long-acting muscarinic antagonists are used as medicines because of these effects.[2]
It can be prepared by hydrolysis of atropine.[3]
