APPLICATIONS

Tropane is a nitrogenous bicyclic compound in which a piperidine ring and a pyrrolidine ring are fused. This is the basic stucture of tropane alkaloids which occur in the Solanaceae family plant mainly. Examples of tropane alkaloids are atropine, scolamine, cocaine, and  ecgonine. Tropane alkaloids are used as anticholinergic, cholinesterase inhibitor, and as cycloplegic and mydriatic. The prefix "nor-" describes normal structure which has no branched chain of carbon atoms. In case of nortropane, it has one less methylene group than tropane.
