Chemistry:Anisodine
Anisodine, also known as daturamine and α-hydroxyscopolamine, is an antispasmodic and anticholinergic drug used in the treatment of acute circulatory shock in China.[1][2] It is a tropane alkaloid and is found naturally in plants of the family Solanaceae - notably Anisodus tanguticus (syn. Scopolia tangutica.[3][2] Anisodine acts as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist and α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist.[1]
Compound medications
Anisodine/procaine is an injected prescription drug in China, approved for "ischemic optic nerve, retinal, and choroidal lesions". It is believed to work by reliving vascular spasms.[4]
Synthesis
(-)-Anisodine can be efficiently prepared using 6-beta-acetyltropine as the starting material via a key step of the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD).[3]
