Coca tropane alkaloids

Cocaine is a stimulant of the central nervous system and tropane alkaloid, derived primarily from the leaves of two coca species native to South America: Erythroxylum coca and E. novogranatense. The leaves are processed into cocaine paste, a crude mixture of coca alkaloids, from which cocaine base is isolated and then converted to cocaine hydrochloride. Although total synthesis is possible, it is complex and not used for production. Historically, cocaine was a standard topical medication used as a local anesthetic with intrinsic vasoconstrictor properties. However, its high abuse potential, ad

Ecgonine is a tropane alkaloid (alkaloid derivative of tropane) found naturally in coca leaves. It has a close structural relation to cocaine: it is both a metabolite and a precursor, and as such, it is a controlled substance in many jurisdictions, as are some substances which can be used as precursors to ecgonine itself.

Benzoylecgonine is the main metabolite of cocaine, formed by the liver and excreted in the urine. It is the compound tested for in most cocaine urine drug screens and in wastewater screenings for cocaine use.

Hydroxytropacocaine is a tropane alkaloid found in Erythroxylum coca.

chemical compound

Tropacocaine (tropacaine, benzoylpseudotropine, pseudotropine benzoate, descarbomethoxycocaine) is a cocaine-related alkaloid and a contaminant of street cocaine.

Ecgonidine (anhydroecgonine) is an alkaloid related to ecgonine and cocaine. It has a structure with a cycloheptene ring, with a nitrogen bridge, and a carboxylic acid side chain.

Methylecgonine, also known as ecgonine methyl ester is a prominent tropane alkaloid found in coca leaves. It is metabolite of cocaine, and may be used as a precursor for it. It also occurs as minor alkaloid in roots of many Datura species such as Datura stramonium and Datura innoxia. ==Alkaloids== Cocamine (a-Truxilline) aka isatropylcocaine [490-17-5] and isococamine (beta-Truxilline) [490-15-3] are alkaloids present in Erythroxylun truxillense Rusby. The Victorian era references disclosed in John Glasby's dictionary of alkaloids indicate the longevity of these compounds. Although these citat
