Homatropin
Also known as 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid [(1R,5S)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-yl] ester, (1R,5S)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-yl 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate
Homatropine (Equipin, Isopto Homatropine) is an anticholinergic medication that is an antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and thus the parasympathetic nervous system. It is used in eye drops as a cycloplegic (to temporarily paralyze accommodation), and as a mydriatic (to dilate the pupil).

Homatropin är estern av den i atropin ingående basen tropin med mandelsyra. Homatropin används inom medicinen som hydrobromid, ett vitt, kristalliniskt, i vatten lättlösligt pulver. Homatropins verkningar liknar mycket de hos atropinet men är svagare och mindre ihållande. Bland annat har homatropin använts i pupillutvidgande droppar.
