Atroscin
Hi,
I was reading about the poisonous plant, belladona. And I found out that one of it's components is atroscin or atrosin. I have to translate it in my mother tongue, so I was just wondering if someone can tell me it's Latin name (of atroscin or atrosin). It would help me a lot to find it's equivalent in the language I have to translate it into.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
No, it's not atropine. I was wondering whether it was a spelling mistake because I found atropine, but no atroscine.
Thanks anyway

I've found atrocine - it's inactive scopolamine
Constituents---The alkaloidal constituents are similar to those of Belladonna Root, hyoscine (scopolamine), however, predominating. Inactive scopolamine, also known as atroscine, is present, melting at 82 degrees C. (179.6 degrees F.) and yielding by hydrolysis tropic acid and scopoline. The result of an assay of many tons of the root of A
