CO-beneldopa benserazide levodopa. cocaine (ban, usan] (cocaine hydrochloride (jan, usan)) is an ester of benzoic acid and methylecgonine and the principal alkaloid of Erythroxylum coca and other Erythroxylum spp. (Erythroxylaceae). It is a LOCAL ANAESTHETIC (used topically because of toxicity), and has pronounced indirect-acting SYMPATHOMIMETIC actions by virtue of being an UPTAKE INHIBITOR (interferes with Uj active uptake of noradrenaline into noradrenergic nerve terminals). It is a VASOCONSTRICTOR and can be used as a topical mydriatic and ocular diagnostic agent. It is a powerful CNS stimulant (similar in action to amphetamine), with considerable abuse potential, cocaine hydrochloride cocaine. [Pg.82]

Finally, the discovery of methylpseudoecgonine (2a-carbomethoxytfopan-3P-ol) in Datura stramonium should be mentioned it represents an isomer of methylecgonine (26-carbomethoxytropan-3P-ol), the precursor of cocaine in Erythroxylum spp. (Erythroxylaceae). No further occurrence of methylpseudoecgonine in the Solanaceae family was reported to date however, it was detected in three convol-vulaceous species. [Pg.126]

Acer (Aceraceae), Spondias pinnata (Anacardiaceae), Cercidiphyllum (Cercidiphyllaceae), Comma (Coriariaceae), Geranium, Erythroxylum (Erythroxylaceae), Euphorbia, Mallotus (Euphorbiaceae), Fuchsia (Onagraceae) spp. [Pg.181]

According to Aeir plant of origin T. a. can be classified as Belladonna (Datura) and Coca alkaloids The Belladonna or Datura type occur in Atropa belladonna, and other members of the SoUmaceae, e.g. thorn apple (Datura spp.) and henbane (Hyoscyamus spp.) their amino alcohol component is tropine. The Coca alkaloids (e.g. cocaine and tropacocaine) are esters of ecgonine and pseudotropine, which, together with other T.a., are found in the coca shrub, Erythroxylum coca, cultivated in Peru and Bolivia, also in Java, and to a limited extent in Sri-Lanka. In all cases the T.a. are accompanied by pyrrolidine bases, e.g. hygrine. [Pg.692]
