General description

Racemic mixture of diastereomers.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anisodamine is a muscarinic receptor antagonist. Anisodamine is a naturally occurring atropine derivative isolated from Scopolia Tangutica Maxim plant indigenous to Tibet.
Anisodamine is a non‐specific cholinergic antagonist. It is considered less efficient and less toxic than atropine. Anisodamine interferes with liposome structure and affects cell membrane. It might act as an anti‐oxidant, in protecting against the damage caused by free radicals. Anisodamine is known to reduce cardiac conduction and also prevents arrhythmia. It can block thromboxane synthesis and might possess anti‐thrombotic function. Anisodamine has been useful in a number therapies including septic shock, circulatory disorders, organophosphorus poisoning, opiate addiction, snake bite and radiation damage. Disorders, such as migraine, gastric ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis, gastrointestinal colic, eclampsia, respiratory diseases, acute glomerular nephritis and obstructive jaundice can be treated with the help of anisodamine.
