background & aim: a. belladonna (family: solanaceae) is one of important pharmaceutical plants which contain tropane ‎alkaloids. tropane alkaloids are distinct group of secondary metabolites of the ‎solanaceae family.  the most important alkaloids of a. belladonna are atropine and hyoscine that are used extensively because of their medicinal properties. therefore identification and ‎determi...

The medicinally applied tropane alkaloids hyoscyamine and scopolamine are produced in Atropa belladonna L. and in a small number of other Solanaceae. Calystegines are nortropane alkaloids that derive from a branching point in the tropane alkaloid biosynthetic pathway. In A. belladonna root cultures, calystegine molar concentration is 2-fold higher than that of hyoscyamine and scopolamine. In th...
